Have slideshow run automatically? - os07 - 2011-06-17

I am working on a ZP installation where the index.php page is basically a frontend for a portfolio of albums. I enabled the slideshow plug-in. No problems there.

I am thinking about having just a single SMALL window running a continuous slide show, elsewhere on this site. Ideally, this slide show would pull images fom ALL albums, but I realize that this probably would not be possible.

So, maybe I could create a new album, put all ALL images into it, and then just have that one single album slideshow on a page. I want this show to run continuously and automatically, as a kind of "banner" effect, to get users to look at the albums.

I could easily do this with jQuery, but thought maybe someone had already accomplished somethihg like this with ZP alone.

Ideas?

You can call the slideshow function also directly on any page you wish by passing an album object directly. You could create a dynamic album with all images as well. See the user guide and the documentation of the slideshow plugin.

Wow! Incredibly useful. I will have to experiment, but this looks pretty straightforward.

Thanks as usual for your help.
