Can a Photo Gallery Template display as a slideshow?

Can a Photo Gallery Template display as a slideshow? Do I need custom CSS to do this?

[Reesa]

I see Template 9 works as a slideshow on a large screen browser, but it does not work on a mobile screen. Are any of the templates responsive in slideshow mode?

[Peter]

Template 9 and 10 should work on mobile screens.

Can you provide a link to your gallery so we can try it?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for looking. Using Template 9, when I viewed it on a mobile screen, all the photos displayed on the page instead of a slideshow.

Also wondering, is there a way to make the slideshow controls always visible instead of only when hovered over?

[Peter]

Hi,

I am able to view the individual photos on my mobile device (ipad) no problem.

What type of device did you try it on?

(Remember that the light-box will appear only at the gallery level photos not the album thumbs)

[Reesa]

Yes, the individual photos appear, but there is no slideshow. I want a responsive slideshow that will work as a slideshow on any size screen.

[Peter]

I meant to say that I am able to successfully view the slideshow on my mobile devices – Samsung S3 and ipad.

What type of device are you having issues with?

[Reesa]

OK, now I see the slideshow does work (Samsung Galaxy S4), but it is hard to find the controls. Is there a way to make the controls be always visible — not just when hovered over?

Is there something specific in the setup for Template 9 to work as a slideshow? I have not been able to do more than just the basic advance to previous or next.

[Peter]

The “slideshow” consists of simple next/prev controls just as you described.

[jeffc]

That explains why I could not find any setup information either. Is there any type of auto run auto advance slideshow function in the Photo Seller plugin, maybe under a different feature name? If not, are there any plans for such?

The “slideshow” is a very popular and important feature of the system I am replacing. Clients like the ability to sit back and view the full set of photos (up to 200+) before making individual selections.

[Peter]

are there any plans for such?

We are always adding new features and improvements to the plugin. We currently have quite a lot of higher priority items to complete first.

If you wish to fast track this feature we can always do a custom work request for you. Let us know and we can get more details regarding exactly what you want and give you a quote.
