    Hi I want to make a slideshow on a page from images from 1 media category. I use MLA to make the attachment categories and Photonic to make the slider.
    I add this shortcode to my page:
    [mla_gallery type=’default’ attachment_category=’vloeren’ style=’strip-below’ fx=’fade’ slideshow_height=’500′ columns=’3′ thumb_width=’75’ thumb_height=’75’ thumbnail_size=’thumbnail’ slide_size=’thumbnail’ timeout=’4000′ speed=’1000′ ]
    (made with photonic and add the attachment_category and mla_ to gallery to the code)
    But I get the pictures, but no slideshow. All the pictures are in the page, different sizes
    What do I do wrong?
    At photonic settings I can set a default shortcode and I tried mla_gallery but that makes no difference. I don’t get a slideshow.
    I hoped this combination of plugins would make it possible to have slideshow on a page from pictures from 1 category, so I hope to get it working.

    Thanks for your interest in the plugin and for your questions. I regret the problems you are having with Photonic support.

    I tried some experiments on my own system, starting with the simple example you gave in your post in the “Photonic Gallery not Working” topic:

    [mla_gallery type="default" attachment_category="vloeren" style="strip-below"]

    This example worked fine for me. The more complex example you gave above did not work. I started from the simple example and added the other parameters one by one. On my system, the slide_size= parameter does not work with the style=strip-below or style=strip-above parameters. This is true for the standard WordPress [gallery] shortcode as well as [mla_gallery] so I believe it is a problem in Photonic. The slide_size= parameter seems to work fine with the style=no-strip and style=launch parameters.

    I would suggest you try a few experiments on your system. Start with the standard WordPress [gallery] shortcode and use a list of attachment ID values to include the images you want. On the Media/Assistant submenu the “ID/Parent” column will give you the ID values you need. Then, try something like:

    [gallery ids='916,917,918,919,920,921' style='strip-below']

    but using the correct ID values from your Media Library. If that works, you can add Photonics parameters until you get the results you want. When everything is working, you can change to mla_gallery and verify that the display still works as you expect. Finally, change the ids= parameter to attachment_category=vloeren and try that.

    If you have trouble with [gallery] and some Photonic parameters you should start a topic in the Photonic support forum and let them respond. At this point I don’t think MLA is adding to your troubles.

    Let me know if the above experiments are helpful. I will leave this topic unresolved until I hear from you.

    I hope the suggestions I made helped you get the results you wanted from the MLA/Photonic combination.

    Since I have not heard anything further, I am marking this topic resolved. Please update it if you are still having trouble or have other questions about the MLA/Photonic features. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
