slideshow help please

JimW

This is not about any custom slideshow that I want to add. It's about the slideshow (upper right) of my galleries that smugmug has there as default. When I click on it, my images are huge and look bad because they're so big. Can I make them smaller in the slideshow? If not, can I eliminate the slideshow from the page?

Thank you

p.s. I did search for slideshow but there's tons of threads, which seem to be about custom slideshows.

This will remove it from your whole site.

.play_slideshow {display:none;}

Allen - thank you for replying. I really appreciate it.

So I assume from your answer that it is NOT possible to reduce the image size?

If not, then where do I put that stuff you gave me?

Thanks again

Sorry about that, it goes in your CSS.

I looked at trying to overide the smug_black theme code for the full screen
slideshow (fsSlideshow) but counldn't find a way. Might be one but I couldn't
get anything to apply.

Okay, it worked. It's gone now. I'm only a noob, but with all the fancy customization available on smugmug, I'm surprised that the full screen slideshow is not fixable. I can't be the only one noticing this. I must be missing something.

Anyway, thanks again for your help Al.

If you want to give the viewer the option of choosing to view the gallery as a slideshow, you can remove the Fullscreen option and just have the maximum size be Large. See this thread for detail.

Well, thank you David. I've read through that thread twice now, and I'm afraid there's just no chance that I can understand all that. I'm not a programmer. And the amount of stuff that the average smugmug user has to know to get their site finished is unbelievable, at least from my perspective. They should publish a book, and we could start reading from page 1. As it is, it seems to me that these important threads and help pages are hidden all over the place. I really barely know where to start reading, and I'll bet there are many who feel the way I do.

But my mind is open and I keep pecking away at it.

However, for now I'm ok with having the slideshow option gone completely.


Thank you
