Use Thumbnails and "alttext" in NGG JS Slideshow Widget? (2 posts)

    I'm using the NGG JS slideshow widget in a sidebar. Working fine, but looking to modify it a bit to use 1) thumbnails and 2) captions.

    1) Thumbnails
    Would it be an edit to the nggShow_JS_Slideshow function to use thumbnails instead of the larger image squeezed into the sidebar? (asking because the aspect ratio of the thumbnails is a constant because it's cropped, but the JS slideshow in the sidebar simply fits the image into the required dimension and doesn't necessarily always fill the space).

    I don't code much, but I'm certain it's more than simply replacing "NGGALLERY_URLPATH" with "thumbnailURL"... tried it, but actually didn't see any difference. Am I way off?

    2) Captions/Alt & Title Text (alttext?)
    Would like to get the "Alt & Title Text" displayed below each slideshow image. Can "nggfunctions.php" be edited so the NGG JS slideshow displays the "alttext" in the sidebar widget?

    Many thanks for any help!
