Hi Vincent,
thank you for this great theme!

I'm trying do put a slide show of random photos on the homepage with the Galleriffic script, but I can't figure out hot to call the album in the
''
Could you give me some input please?
Thanks!

hi

to do that, you need to code a specific page choosen to be the homepage.
I don't know how to code this page : maybe you inspire yourself with zpgalleriffic 1.4.1 of gjr.

there is many other way to do a slideshow (probably more simple than galleriffic)

have a look on :

there are some scripts I have searched for doing a slideshow on my web site

We have a slideshow plugin (which uses the cycle script of the first link) that also can be called directly with any album on any theme page if you set parameter to the function directly. See the documentation.

Actually I managed to have it with the slideshow plugin, testing it on a "standalone" page, that is home.php but:

[list=1]
[]I can't figure out how to set it as the starting page since the theme overrides the "Gallery index page link" option,
[]and I prefer not to hack the plugin to get rid of the photo title.

[*]Putting the code in an unpublished page -in respect of the theme options- prints out nothing, just a page with the header and footer.
[/list]
Since zpArdoise includes already the Galleriffic script I tried to make the most of it. Less is more is my motto!

I duplicated the album.php page, stripping out the unnecessary code but I can't go on because I did not understand how to call a specific album, that is the one containing the pics for the slide show (perhaps could be a virtual one?).
It sounds simple but I spent all day losing my self in the documentation...actually I'm not a coder but I try do to my best.
By the way, the Nivo slider looks cool!

Hi

I don't know how the option 'Gallery index page link' works.
the zpAdoise theme don't override this option, maybe the option is set by another theme (I saw that this option is set by default to gallery by zenpage).

That said, this option has no effect on the theme : you can set any page, you go to the gallery page or the page choosen on Homepage option.

for example,i wrote a index2.php with this code :
`

homepage test

`

an I have choosen index2.php in 'Gallery index page link' option : this file is never called.

@acrylian or @sbillard : could you explain how this option 'Gallery index page link' works ?

Re: 'Gallery index page link': The theme may need specific support for that. But sbillard will be able to explain that.

Regarding the slideshow: No need for hacking, you can easily hide the image title via CSS:
.slideimage h4 { display:none; }
Example on my demo site: http://zenphoto.maltem.de/

This is exactly what I did. I apologize for giving a wrong information about your theme.
So I guess you added the Page option to overcome that?
On the other side, am I missing anything for printing some code in the Pages? I tried the Custom field and the Codeblocks but nothing is showing up.

@acrylian: I was so focused in understanding the code stuff that I missed a so simple solution.
In a way or another I'm near my goal. I'm still curious to know how to point to a specific album though.
Is it so difficult?

It is quite easy. As the documentation tells you have to pass an album object to the appropiate function parameter.

Regading codeblocks and custom fields. It is the same as with plugin calls, if the theme does not already have theme (none can have all...) you have to add them yourself. (not familiar with this theme of course).
