I have tried these… they don’t work.. I have also tried:

<div class="ngg-widget-slideshow" id="ngg_slideshow1"><img src="https://kjktech.com/playground/wp-content/gallery/header/header.jpg" /> </div>
	<script type="text/javascript" defer="defer">
	<!--
	//<![CDATA[
		var sbsl = new SWFObject("https://kjktech.com/playground//wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/imagerotator.swf", "ngg_slideshow1", "1000", "225", "7", "#000000");
		sbsl.addParam("wmode", "opaque");
		sbsl.addVariable("file", "https://kjktech.com/playground/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/nggextractXML.php?gid=4");
		sbsl.addVariable("linkfromdisplay", "false");
		sbsl.addVariable("shownavigation", "false");
		sbsl.addVariable("showicons", "true");
		sbsl.addVariable("overstretch", "true");
		sbsl.addVariable("backcolor", "0x000000");
		sbsl.addVariable("frontcolor", "0xFFFFFF");
		sbsl.addVariable("lightcolor", "0xCC0000");
		sbsl.addVariable("screencolor", "0x000000");
		sbsl.addVariable("rotatetime", "10");
		sbsl.addVariable("transition", "random");
		sbsl.addVariable("width", "1000");
		sbsl.addVariable("height", "225");
		sbsl.write("ngg_slideshow1");
	//]]>
	-->
	</script>

with style sheet entries…

It will work in Opera, but no IE7.

Hi,

I use Nextgen gallery for my header as a slide show.
You need to put this where you want the header…
<?php { nggSlideshowWidget(1,900,150); }?>

The 1 is the gallery id and the 900 and 150 is the size of the slide show and the images.

This is the full code for my header using cutline theme..

<div id="header_img">
		<?php  if (is_page('about')) { ?>
		<img src="https://couchmouse.net/wp-content/themes/Cutline 1.2/images/header_2.jpg" width="900" height="150" alt="About page header image" title="About page header image" />
        <?php } else { ?>
		<?php { nggSlideshowWidget(1,900,150); }?>
        <?php } ?>
	</div>

Thanks, that worked with some CSS work. Does anyone know how to use the random images script, but to exclude some galleries?

<?php
if (function_exists("nggDisplayRandomImages"))
{ nggDisplayRandomImages($number_of_pic,$Width,$Height); }
?>

This works, but it includes all galleries. I need to not include a few.

Thanks!
Kevin

On a similar note, anyone know what code I need to put on the header so that I can make the transitions random??

That way it overwrites the current widget option, and I can control other galleries within my site with the gallery but have the header be overwritten to random transitions at all times?

thanks!

Hi there

I did according Couchmouses hints but nothing appears

You can see here: https://www.kein-nichts.de and check with Firebug or so.

Actually I′m not that familiar about web programming. Can it be that my theme cannot understand <div id=”header_img”> ? Or that I have to create that id before anywhere?

Could U help me?
ThanX anyway and best regards from Germany, Ellen & Stephan

Another code…

<?php
$showgallery = ‘[slideshow=1]’;
$showgallery = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $showgallery );
echo $showgallery;
?>

And I guess you can call different slideshows, as well as Galleries

Stephan, <div id=”header_img”> opens up a loop , that is in the CSS #header_img section (all spec’s like padding,color,size,text type,etc,then you add anything inside the loop, before it closes with </div>.

Hope that helped.

Anyone knows how to add a slideshow as background in the CSS of a Theme?…the PHP or the [slideshow=X] do not do it.

Thanks
