A Better, Easier Way to Slideshow?

[fakie99]

hello -

i recently upgraded from fusion MX to fusion 12. so far so good, but was hoping they had improved the gallery/slideshow capability, but it's still not really that impressive. i would like to have my thumbnails (about 12-15 of them) appear, with a box on the same page that would display the thumbnail chosen. basically, i want the thumbnails not to redirect to another page, but display the large image on the same page. i know that visual lightbox does this, but the crazy workarounds to make this actually work seem daunting to say the least. i really like the functionality of lightbox - it does exactly what i was hoping for. but is there an easier way to integrate a slideshow/gallery like this righ in my NOF pages?

thanks!

Try using visual silde show instead (from the same company), here is a sample site made with fusion12 using it, no hoops to jump through and it does what you want.

thank you very much shamim - one more question - what if i have several different galleries? how can i get the DATA and ENGINE folders onto my webserver if all the galleries will have different names?

Jim,

Take a look at jAlbum.net. It is free and it has lots of adjustable styles/themes.

I also recommend jAlbum.

You can always place your galleries in a seperate directory and in the html reference point the code to the location of the galleries. You can only have one gallery per page.
Create the directories and place your data and engine folders in them naming them g1, g2 etc...

Then place g1, g2, g3, g4 etc.. in front of all the paths in the html and in front of the data directory.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="g1/engine/css/slideshow.css" media="screen" />
<style type="text/css">.slideshow a#vlb{display:none}</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="g1 /engine/js/mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="g1/engine/js/visualslideshow.js"></script>


For the images..
<a href=""><img id="slide-0" src="g1/data/images/pic.jpg" alt="" /></a>

For the thumbs..
<li><a href="#slide-0"><img src="g1/data/thumbnails/pic.jpg" title="" /></a></li>
