    I would like to changes some options on these pages, starting with the skins. But changing to either skins=”Dark” or skins=”Light” does not change anything. Looking at the generated code, the zSkinPath shows …assets/Skins/Default/… in either case. How can I get that to take effect?
    I would also like to change some of the other parameters as well, but do not see a way from the shortcode how to do that. It that change possible?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi Dan,

    I see the example code is not correct. For the skinpath to work, you need to use the zskinpath parameter. For example zskinpath=”Dark”. Or, if you have a custom skin somewhere in your uploads directory you would use the url to that directory like for example zskinpath=”https://pages.stolaf.edu/dhaaland/uploads/customskin”.

    As for the parameters that are available to change, please refer to the FAQ section of the plugin. There you can see the list of the parameters you can set. The Zoomify docs explain in detail the possible values needed in the parameters.

    Regards,
    Sander

    Thank you! I now can test and evaluate which skin will work better for us. I do have a follow on question, however. The ‘large’ group of button images in each of the .png collections are the same size as the small ones, 15×15 pixels. Our previous implementation defaulted to the display of the large 40×40 pixel buttons. Is there some basis for this change?

    I might add that I do not have the ability nor access to replace the skins files in this WP application, and it is doubtful that I will be allowed to do so. Putting the skins in the WP Media collection is problematic as well, since there are no plugins available to allow Media sub-folders.

    As I look to scale up the number of image we have to display, I wonder if you see any way to use a single instance of a ‘skeleton’ WP page that uses a parameter passed to it (the name of the .zif image) and populate the script text with that name and then display the page with the panorama image. Something like that would make building and maintaining the pages much easier. I would be very interested if have any ideas along that line.

    Again, thanks for your response and moving me ahead with this project.
    Dale
