Gallery Widget Question

by thinlizard April 26th 2009, 6:16 pm

Hi all.

I was wondering is there anyway to have ALL of the pictures appear in the gallery widget at the side of a forum? I've recently uploaded some news ones into the gallery and now the old ones aren't showing in the widget.

Any help will be most appreciated. Smile

I have a similar problem. My gallery widget only displays pics from the public album and we want users personal albums to be included. Is there a way to get the gallery widget to slideshow ALL the pictures in the WHOLE gallery section?

Cheers! thumleft

i am not the most familiar with the gallery stuff because i never used it.
But you might be bale to post the link leading to the members personal gallery to view pic's in there.

so i'm not 100% sure but you can try it. as far as haveing all of the pic's be displayed i'm not sure if that is possible unless you were to create more widgets and place them in there your self.

but hang tight i'm sure another staff or member will be able to answer this correctly.

You can put the Gallery on a Widget.

Admin Panel>>Modules>>Under Portal & Widgets>>Click Portal management>>Then Structue>>Under Potal Option Look for Gallyer Drag it anywere you want>>Save

For Forum widgets management look for gallery and drag it>>Save

I have same problem.
Gallery widget shows only 6 pics but would like to show all members pics.
If its not possible to change existing widget,how to make new slideshow with all members pics?
Thanks.

MrMario, we are aware of how to make the Gallery a widget, it's customising it to show more than specific pictures (such as recent, public gallery only, or all galleries).

I dont want to steal your thread!

i dont think what yous are asking can be done.
you can have everyone submit a few pic's and create a slide of your own and put it in there. but depending how many members you have that can be a lot of work.

may be you can open a forum for members to create the gallery slide shows.post in that forum then have the links leading to the post in the widget.
but what yous are asking just dont seem possible?
