I am wondering if there is a way to have the slide show start with the fast speed setting instead of the medium setting. Here is a link to the page http://www.sarahgracephoto.com/Nature/Fine-Art/10069048_bQBwK.

I have seen a few places where this is discussed and Have tried a few things on my own but cannot seem to get this to work.

I have mine set to fast, but without any speed buttons. I have added this code to my script:
setSpeed: 'fast'

It should work, even if you have the speed buttons; try it.
Here's more parameters:

SmugShowBuilder has been updated to v0.2. Now includes the "new" setSpeed and newWindow parameters.

See the latest version - should allow you to set your own speed.

Love this! Any thoughts on how we can tweak the code to fbml so I can add a slideshow to my facebook fan page?

Thank you - when I was working with the Show off feature with SmugMug - the pictures kept getting cut off and they would not show full frame, no matter what size I made the "window" you code does not have that problem and it makes it much better. Thank You very much...

feedURL
Hi,

Thanks for the great tool.

I am trying to embed my recent galleries using 'feedURL'. I have tried every combination of URL that I can find on SmugMug's wiki and I can't get the slideshow to work.

When I used the "Create a Feed Wizard" from the sharing page on SmugMug I get this URL:

http://bcdschool.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=nickname&Data=bcdschool&format=rss200&Size=Small

I've tried modifying it with api.smugmug.com, removing the 'format' parameter, and many other things. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can try??

Thanks in advance.

I'm wondering this, too

m021478

Does anyone know if or how I can embed one of these flash slideshows into my facebook fan page using the Static FBML app? I'm a total noob when it comes to coding so if anyone can answer this one for me, please do so gently.

Here is an example of what I'm trying to replicate, but the guy from this example used photoshelter. Here is a tutorial that sparked my interest in doing such a thing in the first place. Finally, here is a site that a bit of Googling turned up that seems to have lots of info on using the Static FBML Facebook app to embed flash slideshows into Facebook fan pages.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

I somehow recall posting this here before, but I think recall reading in the fb developers documentation that an api key is needed to be able to use flash on a page. And then there's the bit of code to put on the page. I'll see if I can't dig this up, but it's been a few weeks since I researched fb.

This is a nice tool and gives us the flexibility to use parameters that are not available when we use the supplied sharing link in our galleries. I have tried using the full-screen slideshow URL link and it works perfectly. The slideshow fills my browser window. How do I get it to fill the whole screen on my monitor like it does when I click on the "Slideshow" button in my galleries?

SamirD

When was this updated for the flashvars parameter?

Hello! This is a great tool. Thank you!

i'm a smugmug novice, so bare with me here: I generated the code, and pasted it in the bio section. It doesn't appear when I save it. Any suggestions? Am I missing something?

Thanks!

A really good builder!
I like the builder but how can I show the slideshow only at my home page?

I'm pleased to announce the release of SmugShowBuilder! SmugShowBuilder is another little project of mine which I've decided to make freely available to the SmugMug community. (The other is AlbumFetcher.) It's a simple web app that serves two main functions:

1. Quickly create the HTML for embedded SmugMug Flash Slideshows
2. Create URLs for full-screen versions of SmugMug Flash Slideshows

SmugShowBuilder is web-based (hosted on Google AppSpot), so it should run on any internet-connected computer. It's completely free to use.

This DGrin thread will be the project's home page. Feedback is extremely appreciated, and if there are bugs and/or other issues (as there always are), please let me know here. This is a hobby, so I can't hope to live up to SmugMug's standard of customer service, but I will try to help you out if you're having an issue with the app.

Enjoy!
-Greg

SmugShowBuilder: http://smugshowbuilder.appspot.com

Future ideas:

• Auto-parse gallery URLs
• Add selection of presets

I really like your slide show builder
but how can i show the slide show only on my home page?
