Starter help with slideshow - patockaj - 2015-06-04
Hi,
I am using ZenPhoto for first time. I want to implement a slideshow on my home screen (of ZenPhoto) instead of gallery picture.
I am trying to put it into functions.php (in one of basic themes) where I am trying "echo printSlideShow(true,false,'4.9.2011', "", 400,400);" where 4.9.2011 is name of my album.
Cans omeone help me how do I correctly call slideshow on my ZenPhotos page please?

You have to create an album object first.
`
<?php
$albumobject = newAlbum('4.9.2011');
printSlideShow(true,false,$albumobject, '', 400,400);
?>
`
And don't forget to check the page on which you want the slideshow to be visible in the plugin options.

If you haven't take a look here: http://zenphoto.org/news/theming-tutorial
Also, the `echo` is not needed the function "prints" already.

Hello,
I tried to put something like this:
$randomAlbum = $randomImage->getAlbum();
$randomAlt1 = $randomAlbum->getTitle();
$albumobject = newAlbum($randomAlt1);
printSlideShow(true,false,$albumobject, '', 1000,400);
To each theme, each file and each folder but it isnt working anywhere. For example I tried to put it into "printHeadingImage()" in Effervescence theme or into "indexpage" in ZenPage theme and it is still not working. All it can do is to broke whole gallery. I am not even able to dump it, the last avible dump is on "getTitle()" but there is going something wrong on "newAlbum()"

Well, in any case you are using the object model wrong:
`
$randomAlt1 = $randomAlbum->getTitle();
$albumobject = newAlbum($randomAlt1);
`
You use the title but you have to use the name (or filename, titlelink for other item types):
`
$randomAlt1 = $randomAlbum->getFolder(); // alternatively: $randomAlbum->name;
$albumobject = newAlbum($randomAlt1);
`

Where is `$randomImage->getAlbum()` coming from? `$randomImage`must be an image object for this to work.

Hello, thank you for help but it is still crashing on PrintSlideshow.
I got "slideshow" allowed in theme settings.
- randomAlt1 is ok now (dumps right names)
- albumobject prints "album (6)"
My code:
$randomAlbum = $randomImage->getAlbum();
$randomAlt1 = $randomAlbum->name;
$albumobject = newAlbum($randomAlt1);
printSlideShow(true,false,$albumobject, '', 1000,400);

You need to be more specific what "crash" means. Please review your error log.
Starter help with slideshow - jaxczech - 2015-10-09
There is nothing about slideshow in the log.
There is only this:
USER ERROR: Invalid album instantiation: Rhodos 8-15.9.2015 does not exist. in /../class-album.php on line 1215
trigger_error called from Album->_albumCheck (class-album.php [1215])
(and that album exists)
Starter help with slideshow - acrylian - 2015-10-09
Well apparently the album does not exist. Sorry, can't help as I don't know your site.
Btw, I would recommend to not have spaces etc in album names. URLs look nice and it possibly saves some issues although it is not a technical problem.

Let's start from the beginning ;-)
Which theme are you using ?
