Is there anyway to select only certaine images to show in the slide show, or does it have to be all of them?

At the moment, all of them... We'll be interested in hearing how to further sub-select the images...what kind of UI, Logic would the admins be interested in...

I have access to the server so this one might be easier for me than most, but maybe just a subdirectory unde that contains the images you want to show, they can be moved there, and then in the drop down box in the settings section of slide show you can just add a second option. Or you can allow a bulk upload to a new directory for the selected images, and again add a secon option to the drop down in the setting section. Or, one could add a tick box to the individual images setting, display in slide show. Hope that helps, and thanx for the quick responses. Cheers

Hi Vexander, Thanks for the ideas. Well there's no reason do duplicate the images...it's just matter of specifying which ones to show or which ones to dont show. By the way, even those who don't have their own server can move images using ftp or file manager... Bulk Upload; again, no need to duplicate content. tick box to individual setting - We thought about this one, but we'll be introducing plenty of sub modules...the UI will become mess as the module evolves. Plus, it will be a pain to tick each box if you want a slideshow with 20 images...or tick off if you have a module with 1000 elements. Anyone else has any ideas?

I userstand what you mean about duplicates, but the selection thing might work out. To be homest what is the most that someone is going to want show in the slide show, it is not like it is going to be 100's A second thing, and I am know that it might fall under the category of "not our problem" because your slide show is made to work with live content, but what is there are images that some one wants shown in the show but not in an image gallery? Thanx and great product, live content is brilliant.

Hi Vexander, image selection does seem like the way to go at this time; we'll be further developing that idea in days to come. As for ability to show images in show but not in gallery; that is easy, simply uncheck "Show Element" under common properties of the element in Live Content module.

I was being stupid here, I only realised after these posts that I can add an element that will give me more options to select for the slide show, sorry about the brain fart. Cheers
