    Many thanks for a great plugin! I love it!
    But… I´m missing two things…
    I´d like to make a request. Is this the right place to post a wishlist? I could make good use of one of the short-codes I wrote in the title. I want a slideshow on my front page running… but others I´d rather be stopped to let the visitor decide whether to start them or not.
    I´ve managed to stop the filmstrip from moving through CSS. Not nice, I know, but I´d rather not try to mess with the code. That was the second thing I´m missing – a way to view a still filmstrip with clickable thumbnails to view the image.
    The third thing would be to be able to set the size by percentage. I have a flexible layout and cannot use an exact width. There is an excellent choice of setting the size to “auto”… but then it occupies the whole width. Perfect sometimes but sometimes I´d like to be able to align a smaller pictureviewer either to the left or to the right and have some text or an image next to it. I´v been using a plugin to put a widget into the page to achive this… and it works but I added that plugin with some resistance. I use a lot of them and try not to add another.
    I feel I have been asking for a lot… but if these requests aren´t relevant or they include too much work, I´d still be grateful for and happy with this very useful plugin.

    Fitst this: Please only ONE topic per thread, please.

    You can set whether the slideshow starts initially on Table IV-3, but that is a systemwide setting. If you still need it configurable per %%wppa%% invocation, let me know.

    Try a container div around the script: e.g.

    <div style="width: 76%">
%%wppa%%
%%slide=13%%
</div>

    This is syntactically correct to do and should work (not tested by me).

    I apologize for mixing up the topics. I spend little time om forums but still should have thought of it.

    Thank you for the tip about the div. However it does not really solve my problem. I´m setting up a wordpress blog/site for someone who don´t know anything about HTML and cannot be expected to deal with it.. but then again – I think I´ll settle with the widget that places widgets on pages.

    About starting and stopping slidehows. I´d like to be able to set it individually for each slideshow. I use some as a kind of “splash” at first pages in different sections of the blog/site and others to contain images the visitors can view if they choose to do so.
    Many thanks in advance if this is possible!

    If you set the slidshow start (Table IV-3) on one of the still modes, and it is sufficient for the shows that should start running to have only (optionally) the fuilmstrip use one of the following scripts:

    %%wppa%%
    %%slideonly=13%%

    or

    %%wppa%%
    %%slideonlyf=13%%

    For album 13. The slideonly and slideonlyf construction starts running as they have no navigation tool.

    Of course! That will be fine! Had missed that “slidonlyf” Thanks!
