Nivo slider frustrations - change from landscape layout

[Acorn]

I'm still struggling with this.
I have found thishttps://www.talkgraphics.com/attachm...6&d=1335450275 and sort of like the look of it but can't see how to use it.
If I change the images then do a preview, it shows the original images. How do the new images get recognised? And how do I add a lot more new images that are 99.9% in portrait dimensions rather than lanscape.
I was hoping to find some sort of Youtube tutorial but nothing seems to pop up on a search

This is one of the simplest uses of pop-up layers going.

The easier way to explain is to talk through adding another image.

• Create an new layer - pop5 or "Cabbage & Rice Consomme" if that is the photo's topic.
• Drop you new image into the new layer and resize and position over the black rectangle - more on this later.
• Clone and scale the latest image down to your thumbnail and round its corners.
• Place on the MouseOff layer and reposition and scale all the thumbs..
• Select the thumb and set Web animation > Mouse-over, and set Show pop-up layer to the added layer name.
• Add an Effect.

There is no need to ruin the Link with # ##, ### or #### as in the example. A # is enough to change the point to a hand. Leave it out otherwise.
The Name "photoreplaced" is not needed either.

For Portrait images, the black box ruins the effect. I would omit it or change it to a line line empty frame that can be cloned and rotated 90 degrees.

I have another alternative. I was searching for something akin to Issuu which was free to use to the extent that I need and found this: https://www.yumpu.com
First you have to create a pdf. I have full page images in hi-res, It's then uploaded to Yumpu where you set the parameters of the production.When it completes, you can obtain the embed code and add it to the site in the usual way via a rectangle.

I have just posted to all of my subscribers to try the magazine version out and it's already got responses. Just to try it as an image carousel sort of thing, I added it to a trial page and ran it. It works a dream. I have a single image per page but I suppose anyone who wants more can add them to a pdf. I made mine using Open Office then saved it as a pdf. Another thought has just arrived. Set your page to landscape in your writer and it'll probably be able to show things better much like a slider

Anyway, the production is as shown in the link.
I did a rush job on this so it isn't as good as I'd like but hey...... Xmas and grand-kids demand more of my time.

Let me know what you think

It's also easy to link it from Facebook for those who like to show a decent number of pictures on a post.
