    i am trying to put a slide show on my homepage by following the instruction:

    [slideshow=id,width,height]

    the slideshow is not working for me. because i put the gallery id as the slideshow id. when i view my post, it shows the text above instead of the slideshow itself.

    my question now is where do i look for the slideshow id?
    is the gallery id the same as the slideshow id?
    sorry but i am new to this.

    please help me if you can
    thank you

    I’m new to this too, but I found that the easiest way to insert a gallery or a slideshow is to click open a new post to write, click on the little NextGen Gallery icon (if you hover over the icons, they’ll tell you what they do), and then click which gallery you want to use, and then pick if you want to use it as a gallery or a slideshow. Then the gallery or slideshow id is inserted automatically.

    Hope this helps. I know how frustrating these kinds of things can be. The newbies gotta stick together!

    thank you for replying william

    but what version of nextgen gallery are you using?
    i am using version 0.99.1 and i dont have a nextgen icon when i try to open or create a new posting.

    where exactly should that icon be and do i have to install
    the current version for it?

    The slideshow id is the same as the gallery id. That tag you have up there should work like a charm. I just installed the latest version of NextGen on my new site (www.ohiocichlid.com – slideshows are in the OCA Extravaganza and OCA Swap Meet pages) and I am using it just like that. The reason it’s not showing up in your case is something else than the wrong id, but I don’t know what the problem is.

    thank you mueller for replying
    i checked your site and it does appear that it’s working
    my problem with my site is that everything is working for my nextgen gallery for all of these:
    For a album : [album=id,extend] or [album=id,compact]
    For a gallery : [gallery=id]
    For a single picture : [singlepic=id,width,height,mode,float]

    but the slide show [slideshow=id,width,height]does not work.
    i wonder if deactivating and reactivating the plugin will do the trick

    i was looking at the php file with the current version i have on my database which is Version: 0.99.1 and i noticed that the slideshow pointer is not showing.
    perhaps this is the reason why the slideshow is not working and i get the code itself showing on my page –> [slideshow=1] because it does not have anything to point to?
    please let me know thank you
    ========================================================
    // add database pointer
    $wpdb->nggpictures = $wpdb->prefix . ‘ngg_pictures’;
    $wpdb->nggallery = $wpdb->prefix . ‘ngg_gallery’;
    $wpdb->nggalbum = $wpdb->prefix . ‘ngg_album’;
    $wpdb->nggtags = $wpdb->prefix . ‘ngg_tags’;
    $wpdb->nggpic2tags = $wpdb->prefix . ‘ngg_pic2tags’;
    =========================================================
