I've tracked the issue with your slideshow issue down to this bug report and I'm awaiting Smugmug's response.

I added the slideshow to this gallery: http://www.rinkshots.com/gallery/5589352_Ybwu6. But my drop down navbar does not seem to be compatible with it. Is that a common issue? The drop down works until you get in to the area where the slideshow is, and then it disappears.

Add the line in red to your CSS to make sure the menu stays on top:

#topnav li ul { /* second-level lists */
	position: absolute;
	width: 130px;
	left: -999em; 
        z-index: 30;
}

That worked beautifully. Thank you.

Smugmug says that they have fixed an issue in the Smugmug API which I think is causing this iproblem. They will hopefully roll out that fix tonight.

Smugmug pushed their API fix live and your slideshow seems to be working for me now.

Thank you Jfriend, your help is much appreciated. I haven't had time to log in until now being busy with the "daytime" job.
The slideshow works fine now. Is this a temporary fix only or a robust one? By this I mean if I change some parameters in the slideshow will it resurface again?

Thanks again, you guys rock!

Wow! This slideshow took 3 minutes to install and works great! Love it! Thanks for creating this, it works SO much faster than the standard Flash slideshow!

The problem was caused by something Smugmug changed/broke in their API and that is fixed now so it shouldn't have anything to do with you making changes to your slideshow settings. You should be free to tweak anything you want.

Beautiful slideshow - just implemented it. I love it to bits. Thank you for that!

I installed the slide show as well as the "as many galleries as will fit across the page" code from this post

http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=17946 (Mike Lane's 08:49 PM post on Mar-31-2006)

The spacing works great until I insert the slideshow above them (see here http://nhallphoto.smugmug.com/Events). As soon as that happens they seem to move to the left.

I'd also like to get rid of the Category title on just this page and have the ability to adjust the relative vertical position of the gallery thumbnails to the slide show.

Can anyone help???

You can add this CSS to center the thumbs and remove the title:


.category_Events #subcategoriesBox {width: 575px; margin: 20px auto;}
.category_Events #subCatGalleryTitle {display: none;}

If you add more thumbnails and want it centered again, you will have to manually adjust the 575 number. Given the way Smugmug generates the HTML for these thumbnails, there is no automatic way to have it centered for any number of thumbnails.

That worked awesome, thanks! It didn't work for my Portfolio page, but then I figured out that it was because that page doesn't have subcategories. With that knowledge, I was able to fix it and get it working, although I couldn't figure out the correct code to eliminate the title. I think this is because the title above galleries is called something different than the title above subcategories (makes sense). I tried just "#GalleryTitle" and a few versions of galleriesGalleryTitle (i.e. plural, singular, capitalized) but can't get it right. Is there a way to show object names so I can figure out want the word is for any particular object?

I think I figured out how to move the thumbnails closer to the slideshow as well...although I haven't tried it yet. I read a bit of code that Allen wrote that I think will do the trick now that I know what the object name is. This stuff is pretty fun once you start getting the hang of it. But MAN is it frustrating when you can't figure it out. Thanks a million for straightening out the centering...looks great!

To see what all the objects are called, you just need to use a DOM inspector tool. For firefox, install the free add-on Firebug. Chrome and Safari have the DOM inspector built-in. Once you have the inspector, you can right click on an element and choose Inspect Element and see the entire DOM hierarchy and what everything is labeled.

Awesome, thanks! Fixed my issue and I think I'm getting the hang of this thing. Well, at least enough get by...thanks to all the support on these forums. GREATLY appreciated!!!

I tried using the right click/inspect tool to hide the slideshow, but it apparently isn't an object in the same way that the original website components are because nothing happens.

I have a slideshow in my "Portraits" gallery that runs through the best of my portrait shots, but I wanted to put a slideshow of only the kids portraits when someone clicks on the "Children" subcategory in the "Portraits" category. I've figured out how to add the new slideshow to the subcategory only, but can't figure out how to get rid of the slide show in the subcategory. Is this possible?

To show the slideshow only in the Portraits category and not in the subcategory, you can change this CSS selector in the JF.InsertSlideshow() function from this:

"#category.category_Portraits #breadcrumb"

to this:

".category.category_Portraits:not(.subcategory) #breadcrumb"

You were bit by some sort of copy/paste problem from the PDF. Change this code in your bio from this:

<script type="text/javascript">
JF.InsertSlideshowHere({
    galleryURL: "http://www.photography-by-jana.com/Portfolio/Portfolio/11471891_QS4W7R#806998387_4L9f8",
    stretchy: "true"}
;(
</script>

to this:

<script type="text/javascript">
JF.InsertSlideshowHere({
    galleryURL: "http://www.photography-by-jana.com/Portfolio/Portfolio/11471891_QS4W7R#806998387_4L9f8",
    stretchy: "true"}
);
