• Hello,

    I’m a bit confused about this feature. Does this bar display the same message with every image it’s shown with?

    I’d like to customize this bar so that it shows different content for each image. Is that possible?

    Thanks for any help here.

    All the best,

    Diana

    You can use IPTC and EXIF tags like:

    Title: 2#120.<br/>photo by 2#080.<br/>Exposure time: E#829A.<br/>Aperture: E#9202

    See tables X and XI on the Photo Albums -> Settings admin page.

    You can also enter shortcodes for other plugins like shopping carts. This requires Table IX-20 to be checked.

    These, recently added, features are not yet properly documented, i know.

    Sorry, the answer above is wrong, the new features i described apply to the photo description fields.

    A better answer will follow soon.

    The custom box may contain HTML and JavaScript code.
    Here are a few examples from the real world.
    They are not extremely genious, but ment to inspire you.

    Example I:
    If you have the addThis plugin installed, try this:

    <a class="addthis_button"></a>

    It will produce an addthis button that will update the share url during browsing the slideshow to reflect the current photo.

    Example II:
    If you want the visitors to be able to select the slideshow animation type, use this code:

    Select an animation style:?
    <select id="test" onchange="if (this.value != '') wppaAnimationType=this.value" >
    	<option value="fadeover">Fade over</option>
    	<option value="fadeafter">Fade after</option>
    	<option value="swipe">Shift</option>
    	<option value="stackon">Stack on</option>
    	<option value="stackoff">Stack off</option>
    	<option value="turnover">Turn over</option>
    </select>
    <script type="text/javascript">document.getElementById("test").value=wppaAnimationType</script>

    Example III:
    To make a ‘direct access’ slide input field:

    <div style="text-align:center;" >
    	Enter photo number:
    	<input style="width:50px; margin:0 4px;" onchange="wppaDirectAccessSlide(this)" />
    	and click anywhere outside the editbox
    </div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    /* <![CDATA[ */
    function wppaDirectAccessSlide(elem) {
    	if ( _wppaSlideShowRuns[1] ) {
    		wppaStartStop(1, 0)
    	}
    	var slideRequested = elem.value;
    	var index = parseInt(slideRequested) - 1;
    	var count = _wppaSlides[1].length;
    	var warTxt = 'Please enter a valid photo number';
    	if (index >= 0 && index < count) {
    		wppaGoto(1, index);
    	}
    	else {
    		alert(warTxt);
    	}
    }
    /* ]]> */
    </script>

    (This works only on the first slideshow on the page)

    This is going to take me some time – I’m relatively new to the coding thing. (Self-taught with the help of many folks on forums just like this who have guided me and helped me find solutions all along the way – thank you very much!)

    But while trying out some of these suggestions, I’ll be learning, as well, so I’ll take my time with this.

    Thanks so much for your guidance.

    All the best,

    Diana

    On second thought, I may try your first suggestion. So I’m going to keep this thread open, if you don’t mind, because I may have questions.

    Regards,

    Diana
