How do I display a single parent photo with child slideshows?

Create a parent album, say its name is container and its id = 13. Do NOT upload any photos to the parent.

The shortcode on the Main photos page should be:

[wppa type=”album” album=”13″ size=”…”][/wppa]

Set the parent of the four albums to container.

Set Table VI-B1 to same as title and leave New tab and PSO unchecked.

Set in Photo Albums -> Edit Album Information: Link type: The album photos as slideshow and Link to: — the same page or post — for all 4 albums.

Check Table IV-A1: Use Ajax.

Configure the layout of the album covers in: Table IV-D3, Table I-D1,2 and 3

Configure the slideshow elements in Table II-B ( Check the things to be shown, uncheck others )

Thanks! This gave me an excellent “tutorial” even though I modified your instructions a bit to give me a kind of category page.

Just a few quick questions. My photo gallery home page is here and as you can see I have 2 top level albums (Restorations and Events) which are categories. Inside Events are 2 more Parent albums. Since these are parent albums I don’t need the entire page width for a description. If I could put them into two columns that would be great – but I don’t want to change the maximum page width for the Slide Shows in the child albums inside.

And also, I need to order the albums. I’ve given them each an Order Number and set each Photo Order to “Order #” but I can’t find where in settings you are supposed to activate the sort by order.

This is the best gallery I’ve ever seen!

Thanks

If I could put them into two columns that would be great

Set Table I-D1 to 400. This works like this: If the column is wider than 400 px, you will get 2 columns of covers. If those columns would be wider than 400 px you will get 3 columns, etc. until the cover is not wider than 400.
This works for any number ( 400 may be 500 etc ) and is a systemwide setting.

I need to order the albums.

Table IV-D1 and D2 if you want the largest first.

I tried “Set Table I-D1 to 400″ but in the source I see something is making wppa-text-frame covertext-frame style=”width:457px; float:right;” I presume the 457 is the problem but I can’t find where it’s coming from.

I want the actual number that is in the Order column where it says “sort order #” I have put in 1 and 2. But in IV-D1 and D2 “Order #” doesn’t work.

OK I got the order to work. But setting Max Cover width to 400 isn’t working. Something is making

album wppa-box wppa-cover-box wppa-cover-box-1 wppa-alt

width: 622px; I don’t see that width specified anywhere in settings. The only thing I have anywhere near that is Maximum Slide Show width at 600 – but changing that did nothing.
