    Slideshow only

    Ok all you html genious'.....

     Is there a way to bypass the opening page and have it open right into the slideshow without having to click the "slideshow" button?

    and another question while I have your attention.....

    Anyone know of a way to omit the bar on the side that shows the albums? I figured out how to have the album not show, but then I'm left with an akward blank box on the side. 

     

    Thanks,

    Linda

    Re: Slideshow only + Hiding a part of the page by editing the theme CSS

    Linda,

    If the Shozam gallery is part of a larger website, you can link directly to the Slideshow page you want.

    For example, this gallery: http://my.shozam.com/examples/yellowstone

    Slideshow cycling all gallery photos: http://my.shozam.com/examples/yellowstone/1/slideshow.htm?1-true

    Slideshow cycling only gallery photos from the second album: http://my.shozam.com/examples/yellowstone/2/slideshow.htm?1

    Basically start the slideshow that you are interested in showing, get the URL displayed in the browser address bar and then create links to that.

    Are you talking about the albums being displayed on the Intro Page? You want to hide those but still show the animation on the Intro Page?

    If that is what you want, you can do some advanced editing of the theme, outside of Shozam, to hide that part of the page. IMPORTANT: Advisable only if you understand and are comfortable with the steps outlined below. You do not need to know exaclty what a DIV, a class or a style is but you should be able to follow the instructions below.

    1) Do a View Source on the HTML page you want to hide stuff from and look for the tag that has the part you want to hide. Based on my understanding of what you want to do, you likely want to hide the part that is contained in the "introRight" div. Basically all the information you want to hide is in the DIV element that has the style class of "introRight" assigned to it.

    2) Create a custom theme first (even if you just make a duplicate of an existing theme)

    3) Open in Notepad the theme CSS file in My Documents/My Shozam Themes/[Theme Name]/theme.css

    4) Look for the style definition for the class you want to edit, in this case "introRight"

    The code in this example looks something like this:

    .introRight
    {
     clear: left;
     float: right;
     width: 220px;
    }

    5) Edit this style to make the HTML not display on the page. Add the property display: none.

    .introRight
    {
     clear: left;
     float: right;
     width: 220px;
    display: none;
    }

    6) Save theme CSS file

    7) Generate gallery again using the edited custom theme.
