Slideshow settings question

divamum

Have a single gallery I want to set to slide show. Fine, no problem - found that easily under the gallery settings.

HOWEVER. How do I adjust the settings of the slide show, eg dissolve, start options, time between images etc etc? Even if I go to customisation, that area is just labelled "Smugmug default content", and doesn't give me any way to access those settings. Thanks in advance!

No way that I know of unless there's a way with CSS code.

But you CAN do that if you add a content module, so I know that it's possible to adjust the slideshow settings in theory .... . Maybe I have to do it as a page instead of a gallery, and just link back to the gallery? Not sure. What I want is for my collage front page to click through to a slideshow (which I easily managed), and then adjust the slideshow settings to get the look I want......

I typically avoid CSS as previous efforts have been disastrous, although if somebody can talk me through EXACTLY what needs to be done I'm willing to give it a try.................

Hi Diva,

Yeah, you can't edit the Gallery slideshow settings, but you can if you use a Slideshow block. You nailed it right on the head when you said "Maybe I have to do it as a page instead of a gallery, and just link back to the gallery". That is your best solution.

Thanks! Been tinkering all afternoon, and now the problem is.... how do I then point the front page at it - the only choices on clicking an image in the collage on my home page are do nothing/go to image/go to gallery....

Slideshows need work.

We are all waiting for improvements and trying to get things to work like they used to.
Sorry no one answered your question. I guess there is no good answer.

Cheers,
