# [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] multiple slideshow widgets

 * My site will have 4 mini slideshows in a row at the top of the page. I was going
   to achieve this by way of the Nextgen slideshow widget. But then I found out 
   it wasn’t possible to insert the widget more than once. Even if I create a new
   sidebar group for each widget.
 * After doing some javascript hacking I found a way of doing this (see below). 
   Not very clean (quite dirty actually)
 * It would be really great if this plugin could be update to allow Slideshow widgets
   to be inserted multiple times. Or maybe there is another reason it was coded 
   in this way. (hope it doesn’t require a bit rewrite).
 * Thanks

 * This post isn’t appearing under the NextGen forum. Is it because I selected WP-
   Advanced instead of Installation?

 * Hi,
 * finally I hope I found the answer to my slideshow-problem by reading your post.
 * Can you just tell me exactly the position where I have to paste your javascript?
   
   Which PlugIn-data and which line in the code?
 * Thank you so much!!

 * Well, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you really know what you’re doing because
   you have to change quite a few things in that javascript to get it working. Plus
   the settings for each slideshow cannot be changed from the wp admin.
 * An easier solution I found out later (typical), was in this post here:
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/243468](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/243468)
 * This doesn’t use the wp widgets but will probably work the way you want. Hope
   that helps.
