thumbs to activate slideshow

vickyp

Hi, all.
I need some help regarding the Slideshow.
I want the viewers to be able to open albums and see their contents in thumbs but I want each thumb to direct at the slideshow starting by it's self and continue to the other contents of the album.
Unfortunately i couldn't found anything about it. Can it be done, or it only works with the slideshow link?
I would be grateful at any help. Thanks in advance.

I assume you mean the colorbox pop slideshow? Sure this can be done. But if you mean clicking an option, no. You will have to code it yourself on your theme. Best you start reviewing the related plugins and how they work,

I altered the basic theme (I copied it first) and yes I am using the colorbox (To be honest I didn't know how use another. I found it pretty easy to change the CSS to my needs but with the j-scripts and php I am in a straggle).
But you lost me on : "clicking an option".
I can't think of anything else to direct you than Facebook. If you have seen when you go to an album you can see it's content as thumbs but when you select a thumbs it enables the "colorbox" it doesn't direct you to another page to see the image and navigate with the prev / next links.
This is what I want to avoid.
Unfortunately my English and Terminology need upgrade
Thank you for the quick response acrylian.

I understand what you want but again all is possible but you or someone else has to code it on theme level. It is not done in five minutes.

The benefit of anohter page is that you can link to it, quite important. If you have only a colorbox you cannot.

I will start reading then.
Thank you for your time.

hi vickyp,

have a look on zpArdoise, this theme seems to do what you want to do.
in admin>options>theme, disable "Use Galleriffic script" and enable "Use Colorbox in Album page".
