Header Slideshow

@doublesixx: Shortcodes (NextGEN or otherwise) won’t work in sidebar widgets or outside page/post with out some additional code. I think that was the same with Legacy, so I’m surprised if you would have gotten shortcodes to work there without some extra code or a plugin.

I just played with this a bit. Can you try using the following in your header file:

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[your-shortcode-here]’); ?>

For example:

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[ngg_images gallery_ids=”1″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_slideshow”]’); ?>

That worked for me.

Big thanx. I just wanted the parameters before when trying to get the header slide show working. I know I couldn’t use the short for the header.

Almost there I see [show picture list].

Anyway to remove ? I’m almost guessing now.

Here’s the code I used inside your php :

[ngg_images gallery_ids=”2″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_slideshow” gallery_width=”998″ gallery_height=”300″ cycle_interval=”6″ flash_enabled=”1″
flash_shuffle=”1″ flash_next_on_click=”1″
flash_navigation_bar=”0″ flash_loading_icon=”1″]

Hope it’s possible, thanx again.

Short code looks good to me. I also through it in a post on my own site and it works good. To remove the show picture list link, try:

show_thumbnail_link=”0″

Thanks.

Big thanx ! Worked perfectly !

Looks like I inadvertently gave you a useful tutorial.

I know when I first starting using nggallery this was a popular thing on people’s blog.

I’m sure people will want to know the updated method. I had a ton of code to make it work prior to the 2.x version(s).

Now if you would please put back the code to add files via URL and add a Gallery Search similar to NextGEN Gallery Search I’ll abandon the 1.9.13 version.

Truly appreciate your support. Have a great weekend.
