Then click save changes.

Good luck.

I’m so afraid to try the Photocrati version. Problems since 1.91 that I’ve ran over 1.91 with 1.90 I have zero problems.

Dunno what’s Photocrati doing but there hasn’t been anything positive since the acquisition.

Try an older version. Oh well good luck.

Some of this might depend on your theme.

Open up header.php and look for the following :

<div class=”Header”>
<div class=”Header-jpeg”></div>

I changed to :
<div class=””></div>

Then I inserted the following code :

<div class="post">
<div class="swfobject" id="so5_1" style="width:998px; height:300px;">
<p>The <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Flash Player</a> and <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/">a browser with Javascript support</a> are needed..</p>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" defer="defer">
var so5_1 = {
params : {
wmode : "opaque",
allowfullscreen : "true"},
flashvars : {
file : "http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/xml/imagerotator.php?gid=574",
linkfromdisplay : "false",
shownavigation : "false",
showicons : "false",
rotatetime : "6",
transition : "random",
backcolor : "0x000000",
frontcolor : "0xFFFFFF",
lightcolor : "0xCC0000",
autostart : "false",
width : "998",
height : "300"},
attr : {
styleclass : "slideshow",
name : "so5"},
start : function() {
swfobject.embedSWF("http://yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/imagerotator.swf", "so5_1", "998", "300", "7.0.0", false, this.flashvars, this.params , this.attr );
}
}
so5_1.start();
</script>
</div>
</div>

The following is important. the ?gid= the gallery id number you want in the header”

Make sure you know the path to your imagerotator.php and imagerotator.swf files.

Your paths may vary, you have to know paths and the gallery id or you won’t get the header slideshow working

file : “http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/xml/imagerotator.php?gid=574&#8221;

You can set autostart : “false”, to :
autostart : “true”,

And you header will run the slideshow automatically, otherwise you get a different image on each page. You can also click the image on any page and get the slideshow to start when :

autostart : “false”,

You can see this working on my site :

Good luck.

@karen,

You’ll see “Gallery Search” above “Gallery in the sidebar of your WordPress Admin page (left side of your screen).

When you click “Gallery Search” the NextGEN Gallery Search page will open.

You’ll see your most recent galleries listed, but most important you’ll find at the top of the page a search field.

Now you can search for a gallery. You can type a partial gallery name (in case you forgot what you called the gallery) and the search should find the gallery.

I have nearly a thousand galleries on my site and this plugin is a life saver when I want to update an older gallery and I forgot the name of the gallery.

The search in the NextGen Gallery plugin only searches for pictures with your search term in the name of the picture. Which doesn’t help when you have twenty thousand plus pictures and you need to edit the gallery

Extremely useful plugin.

Good luck.

OK maybe I’m not explaining my problem correctly.

I would rather not set a size.

Just have the slide show so the image at it’s original size.

So if a image is 800×600 and the next image is 1024×768 they don’t get resized to the pre-deteremined size.

Probably not possible.

I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Nice ! That was need to improve the image browser.

Do you have any idea how to display a slideshow doesn’t rely on a fixed width and height setting ?
