how to create a page using Zenpage with an inline slideshow

Hi,

I have the following:
Zen Photo version: 1.4.1.6
Theme: Zenpage

I'm looking for a tutorial on how to create a page using Zenpage with an inline slideshow of an album in it for this current version. The tutorials I saw were from a few years ago which I've tried but did not get to work.

I need a slideshow that I can have in a page, which I will set as the home page,

or to code the slideshow in index.php similar to

http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=5713

I tried that tutorial but could not get it to work. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

    No need to post 9 times!

    My guess is that your slideshow method is set to Colorbox.
    It should be set to Flowplayer or jQuery Cycle.
    (admin -> options -> plugin -> slideshow)

    Of course if you want to use it on a (unpublished) Zenpage page to be set as your homepage, you'll need to use a codeblock to insert the code.
    `
    <?php
    $albumobj = new Album(new Gallery(), "<folder name of the album you want to be shown>");
    $imageobj = newImage($albumobj, ""); // this is optional
    printSlideShow(true,false,$albumobj, $imageobj, 400,400); // if you don't need a start image replace $imageobj with ""
    ?>
    `
    You also have to put `<?php printSlideShowJS(); ?>` in the `` of pages.php

    Why do you keep posting this topic over and over again ??
    Did you not read the message about submissions being moderated ??

    Hi Fretzl, sorry but I was getting a bbpress 'Topic not found' error each time I clicked on Send Post and there was no indication that my message got posted. I just thought the Forum was down or something. I am aware of your reposting policy. Anyway, lesson learned, I will post only once even if there's an error.

    Thanks, I will try your suggestion and let you know. Sorry again. If there's an error after I click on Send Post, I will trust that it got sent anyway.

    You should be aware that we have a spam filter and monitoring for "new" forum members. Most likely if you post does not show up it is because it is being held by the spam filter.

    Normally after you have made a few posts things don't get trapped. But the spam filter sometimes acts in strange ways. So be patient in this situation and hopefully a monitor will notice your posts and approve them.

    Also note that due to the nature of the plugin that traps new member's posts, if your post gets trapped, all your old ones get moved back into approval status. Not a nice thing, but we have no way of changing the behavior.

    Note to the other moderators:

    I have left the duplicate postings since maybe that will help keep any more of art2002's posts from being captured again.

    So sorry again. I was expecting my message to not show up right away as per your filter rule. But I didn't expect the error message which I thought was caused by something else.

    Perhaps adding something to the Topic Not Found message error stating "If you've reached this page after submitting a post, it is probably in line for moderation" or something like that. A generic "Topic not found" message certainly doesn't convey the message that it's being moderated.

    @micheall: That would certainly be the best.
    Maybe @crylian can do something about it.

    @sbillard: Sorry, I didn't see the note and deleted the extra topics...

    We actually have a note about that on the form:

    Please note: If you are new forum member your first several posts and new topics are moderated and don not appear initially and might even dissapear.This is sadly necessary because of spam preventing. It may take a few hours until we can moderate so please don not double post or your posts will be deleted.

    This is what new users should see when posting within the first posts that are under moderation. Perhaps the "Topic not found" should be noted explicitly though. What Akismet might do extra as perhaps here happening we cannot control.
