Photo Slideshow

[dhj]

I want to display a series of photos onscreen in a slideshow, one photo after the other in a loop which will start when the page is accessed. Can somebody point me in the right direction for which widget or design feature I should use please?

Many thanks

Not that I want to push you away from Xara but you might look to an outside slideshow program and link it back to your main page. Works for me. You can check out what I did at ptolemeeplus.ca/triphotos/France2011. All the slide shows there are jAlbum shows stored elsewhere. If you have any questions just give me a shout.

Hi, and thanks for the response. That's very good but I think probably a sledgehammer to crack a nut. All I want to do is display a number of photos, one after the other when somebody opens the relevant page. Do you happen to know if there is any way of doing this simply from within Xara?

If you create a page of images and designate the images as pop-up, you can create an automatic slide show.

In the Image > Photo Options dialog, click Help for complete instructions.

It's quick, easy, and should do what you are requesting.

Many many thanks again for the response. That almost works exactly how I want. The only niggle is that I have to click on a thumbnail to start the slide show. Is there any way to make it start automatically?

There's a script on Xara Users you can try http://board.xara-users.info/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=374
