SLIDESHOWS
1 Create the slide show first.
We are using a plugin called Slideshows which can be found on the left in the dashboard.
2 Click on “Slideshows” and then “Add New” button.
3 Name your slide show so you can identify it later.
4 Right hand column in Slide list – Insert – “Image slide”. Click on this to add images.
5 This will take you to the “Media Folder” where you can select or upload.
6 Select as with the gallery and click “select” (bottom right) when finished.
7 The selected images will have been added to your slide show.
Animations settings are self explanatory and you decide how you want it to work.
Leave the rest as it is initially.
8 When happy click “Publish” right hand side blue button (publishing the slide show)
9 In the middle of the slide show page is a box called Information. In here is your “[slug]” which you could copy and paste on to your page. Slug = [ slideshow_deploy id=’874′ ]
10 Alternatively we can call it from the page:
Go to your page.
Button next to add media “Insert Slideshow” – click this.
In the new window select your Slide show from the drop down list and then click on “Insert Slideshow” button.
This will insert the slideshow [slug] for you on to the page.
Copy and paste to move this around on the page to its correct location.
When finished click on Update page button .
View the results.
