Creating Extra Slide Shows
To create an extra slideshow with a different group of pictures:
Step 1 Copy Page:
Open the website folder and look for the slideshow.htm. Copy and paste it so you have a second .html document. Rename it to, for example, slideshow-2.htm.
Step 2 Edit Slides to Display:
You will now need to edit the slides that you wish to show in each slideshow.htm. Open either of them, the original or the copy and look for this line:
<!-- EDIT THIS AREA TO ADD AND REMOVE PICTURES FROM THE SLIDESHOW -->
The lines that follow that line tell the slideshow.htm what pictures to display from the gallery directory. Delete any lines with pictures you do not wish to show. They are sorted by page. You will also need to change the "starting" slide. Look for the following line of code:
Change that to the picture you want to start with.
Step 3 Link the New Slideshow (Option #1):
This can be tricky to add new links. Open the "menu_pictures.js" in Notepad and look for the following two lines. This may not apply for all templates, you may not have a "menu_pictures.js". In that case see the next step for linking:
Copy the above two lines and paste them right below the two above lines. Change the text in red to call your newly created slideshow-2.htm instead of the slideshow.htm. You can name the link something other than "SLIDESHOW" also.
Step 3 Link the New Slideshow (Option #2):
You can create a text link from any of your pages using the code below:
Edit the text in red to whichever slidshow you want to pop-up. The code above will open the first slideshow.
If it Does Not Work:
If you do this editing and it does not seem to work on one or any of the pages, be sure the page has the following line of code at the top of the page, just above the </head> tag.
It also may not work because you are linking the wrong .htm document or it is misspelled. Remember that hosting areas are case sensitive. Be sure the names match exactly.
