NextGen Gallery slideshows side by side

Recommended Posts

jordana_che

Hi, I've got NextGen Gallery slideshows set up and generally I have one then text to the right and so on. On a couple of pages I may need two or three side by side. I am getting some weird code showing up (on this particular page I am trying to set up 3 in a row). Am getting the coding of the 2nd slideshow in text after the 2nd show. Can you please advise? thanks! http://jordanadance.com/a-slideshow-ex1

What does the code from the post screen look like? (What code did you use to insert the slideshows?)

Have you defined the width and height? These seem to be missing. Try something like [slideshow id="9" w="200" h="134"]

already did, doesn't make a difference (I put it back in so you can see...same kind of strange message). and it always seems to take the code of the 2nd to last one I put in. I also have this coding in the custom css...wondering if this has anything to do with it (need this for other pages)? .ngg-slideshow { float: left; padding-right:10px; margin-bottom:40px; }

Try removing all quotes, so it would be like: id=9 w=200 h=134 etc.

no, doesn't work. I've put in [slideshow id = 8, 200,134] etc, [slideshow id = 8, x="200" h="134"], etc...and same problem....very frustrating

www.nancymagarill.com/images/slideshow%201.tiff (it's been there, not sure why you can't see it) here is the code that is here now: [slideshow id=8 w=200 h=134][slideshow id=9 w=200 h=134][slideshow id=10 w=200 h=134] it's the same problem either way I code this or if I code it kastelic's way.

The slideshow screenshot isn't showing up for me because it's a TIFF file (which isn't idea for web upload). Can you please save the file as a JPG image?

Just replicated your issue and found the solution All I had to do was hit "enter" to enter the second and third slideshow shortcodes on new lines, and you have both working together. Then, of course making sure they are sufficently narrow to fit, float them all left.

ok, so we're getting closer....now they're tiered.....so I'm not 100% sure of what floating them all left means as far as how to code it since I've got coding already in there (as referenced above) for the single slide shows. Can you elaborate? Maybe take a look at them tiered....did I miss something? Thanks, you're the man with the answers for sure!

He was saying that the floats would allow them to appear side by side. I would recommend only doing one line return... meaning, only hit enter once, so that your code would look like this:

[slideshow id=8 w=200 h=134]
	[slideshow id=9 w=200 h=134]
	[slideshow id=10 w=200 h=134]
