Home | tutorial home | 'Slideshows' or Photo Galleries

This is a simple way in which you can present a 'slideshow' of pictures about a page. ANY page type (weekly meeting, event, 'general page', Charter Celebration) can have a 'slideshow'.

If you enter pictures into the slideshow for a page, it is automatically displayed in the 'Photo Galleries' page, linked from the horizontal menu. When the page opens, the 'slideshow' is automatically active, i.e. the pictures are displayed one after another.

The 'toolbar' for the slideshow is shown below

Viewers can leave it on this setting or press one of the 'view' butons shown to get a different view.

The default slideshow view is shown below.

Note that 'landscape' format ('wide' rather than 'tall') photos are displayed much better than portrait - when planning your pages, try to encourage members to take landscape format photos.

thumbnail view

You can navigate through thumbnail, pop-out or full-screen views; depending on the size of your screen, image quality might be poorer when viewing full screen.

The slideshow used for this page can be seen here.
