Embed a slideshow on a wiki page

I don't think my attempted post of this subject got uploaded, so I am trying again.

How do I embed a slideshow that will stay in its frame on a Wetpaint wiki?

I have tried variations of iframe codes, including [FONT=&quot]"FramesWarning=false;" to no avail. Entering the page redirects to SmugMug to display the gallery, which prevents the user from seeing anything else on the page, or navigation on the wiki. Escape doesn't always work either.

Shizam's Show Off code doesn't even show a box, much less the slideshow.

Photobucket has a widget for slideshows, which I have not tried because I would prefer to stay with SmugMug.

Any suggestions? A SmugMug Widget perhaps?

    Showoff just 'works' - I'm not sure why it won't work on your wiki = can you post the page you are trying to post to?

    The SmugMug Gallery is
    http://www.davegreb.com/Family/2009/Tucker/10542816_ckHKE#732245361_q8tt5

    The wiki is public at this point.

    The wiki is
    http://dudsey.wetpaint.com/page/Tucker+Test+Photos

    The slideshow on this page is pulling from the same pics I posted on Flikr and grabbed their code.

    If you don't know wetpaint, click the EasyEdit button and add a Widget from the toolbar. You can mess with the test page. If you need additional rights, let me know.

    So bear with me, as I'm a little confused. So when I go to that page I get 4 smugmug slideshows, like this:
    http://img.skitch.com/20091212-1pkq3wk19q9t1igb7ycqptbiy3.jpg

    When you say you want it to stay in it's frame, do you mean that you don't want the photos to link back to smugmug? So that you can't click them?

    Are you seeing something different on that page?

    When I first set this up with Shizam's code, I didn't get any slideshows appearing on the site. Now, I see four like your site, besides the Flikr show. I only want one smugmug slideshow. I am cool if anyone who clicks on the slideshow to be routed to smugmug, but it should be their choice. When I continued to try Shizam's code, the wiki page upon enter would automatically route the session to smugmug without user action; and the wiki page would not even display.

    Unfortunately, Wetpaint doesn't allow us to edit the widget code.

    When I go to edit the site now, I see the Flikr widget and one other widget - not 4.

    Scotticus, It appears that I need to leave the page after adding the widget, and return to it to see it work. I tried a couple more tests and then modified the main page (above the test pages) and it works.

    Now I would like to add some space around the border to separate text from the frame. Is this something in the Shizam code I can try, or is this a widget issue?

    Also, I see that the Shizam widget does not appear when I try to edit the page. Is this a Smugmug control or Wetpaint? Other widgets show a box. How do I change the properties of the box? Moving, changing the wrap, etc.

    Here is the new test page. http://dudsey.wetpaint.com/page/test
