[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Which for tag re: CSS Decorative Gallery

  • Hi,

    I’m trying to add a border around my slideshow on my test site here, https://vt.realestatetestblog.com/ (style is off right now as I am working on adding a border around the slideshow).

    I’ve created my background image and uploaded it to the correct folder, but I need to add the span tag so that I can properly style it.

    Which file does the <span></span> tag need to go in?

    I hope that this question provides enough info ??

    I’m using the default nggallery default stylesheet and have inserted the following code to start with that I will style once I get the background image to show:

    .ngg-slideshow span {
        position: absolute;
	background: url(slideshow-bg.png);
}

    Thanks in advance!

    That looks great – I used a workaround without images, but I do think it’s worth it to use what you put together. I will try to get that done this week.

    Thank you very much!

    One other quick question about the slideshow on nextgen…on the site I am putting together here, https://atlantainfocus.com/elegant-virtual-tour/ (I’m using MU to create a virtual tour site for my real estate listings and designing this theme for my tours) I would love to be able to have arrows on the left and right side that appear and disappear on hover to click to the next image and I can’t seem to find a setting to do something like this. Do you know if it is possible?

    Thanks again!

    Glad my tutorial seems to already make someone happy ??

    About your other question, I don’t think my reply will be very accurate because I don’t know much about the Nextgen slideshow feature but I’ll mention other stuff (NextGen compatible) that might help (?)

    – The plugin Lightbox Plus allows a slideshow and it displays the arrows you’re talking about. It works with NextGen too. In that case, you wouldn’t need the NextGen slideshow itself though – I think you would have to display your gallery thumbs on your page and on the first click, the slideshow would start (or maybe it can even start as soon as the page opens ? not sure of that though…)

    – Another way is a slideshow with a scrolling strip of thumbs underneath. For that, the plugin NextGen Scroll Gallery is really great! No arrows but the way to “force” the progression of the show is to click either on the current image or on any thumb.

    Both plugins offer options that are easy to set (which is not always the case…)

    – 3d solution : the plugin NextGen Monoslideshow. The look and effect are fantastic and it also displays a thumb strip but the settings are not that easy to handle (to my point of view). Oh and it costs 25$ (no trial period)

    If my reply is not satisfying, I hope someone else will jump in for you…
