View slideshow of all users pics in member's gallery

mjm · April 23rd, 2005, 06:02 AM

We have Member's Gallery set to show all users pics.

Is there any way so that slide show can view all members pics in all categories in Member's Gallery?

It is currently very frustrating to view slideshow of all users pics - if a member has a few pics in each of many categories - slide show stops after a couple pics etc.

Thanks,
Mark

The slideshow script is designed to go through all pics in a certain category. Sorry but it does not jump categories or sort by userid

Yes, if Member's Gallery was only showing pics in this category it would make sense and work as intended, but by setting it in admin cp to show all users pics in this category creates this prob.

Thing is we don't actually designate any pics to Member's Gallery per se, as all pics are designated/uploaded to other categories, but Member's Gallery offers us a way of providing the primary link that points to and enables viewing of all of a users pics... wishfully at the push of a slideshow button ... thus the quandry...

As members are thinking that slide show is broke in member's Gallery, as explained, when their pics are in multiple cats, is it at all possible not to show the slideshow button, just in the members Gallery cat?

At least clicking next/previous does take you to the next/prev pic, regardless of cat.

In your situation my answer would be to set the members gallery shows all a users photo's to NO

I tried this, but when clicking all users pics and clicking on Next, continues on, showing other users pics as per cat, where as with set at Yes, Next/Previous will stay with member's pics even in another cat.

The only hopefully temp solution I can think of at the moment is to use the Category Introduction feature for the Member's Gallery cat to explain to members..
- Instructions for viewing all member's photos -
Please note that the SlideShow feature currently only shows photos as per Category that a member has uploaded to.
To veiw all of a member's photos, use the Next/Previous buttons. Photos in Albums must be viewed separately.
