Smugmug/Slideshow and the Thumbnail Grid

jerryr

Thanks to Todd from Slideshow Pro (http://www.slideshowpro.net) and Devbobo, the new Slideshow Pro Thumbnail Grid ( http://slideshowpro.net/products/slideshowpro_thumbgrid/) works with smugmug.

When using this feature and the OPML feature within the slideshow pro XML file type, you must include the 'Sandboxed=1" variable in the RSS Feed.

For example:
api.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mgType=gallery&Data=6952094_fqrEv&format=rss200&Size=Original&Sandboxed=1
is used in the OPML file to create this slideshow:

The 'images' come from this gallery:
http://acapulco.smugmug.com/gallery/6952094_fqrEv

All the photographer has to do is upload the images into the gallery and the images automagically appear in the slideshow - excellent !!

Of course, the slideshow pro .swf file must be hosted externally from your smugmug site.


Thanks again for your assistance Todd and Devbobo - jerryr
