Thank you!!! Fantastic, exactly what I was trying to achieve.

I was having trouble understanding how custom fields are displayed, this was exactly what I needed now, and great learning for next time :)

Does Headway have a sidebar.php? That’s where I am putting the code in this example. If not, then it would be done through a hook.

Dear readers,

this is realy something that will helb me a lot.
But I’m using the headway theme. So I don’t have a page.php or single.php … So, has someone an idea where to include the code? Somwhere in the easy hooks maybe?

Would be nice to hear if some already included it in headway.

Thanks a lot

Hi Lidia,

There are some oldish instructions for doing that with ImageFlow for the Slideshow here

Hi – Does this allow the image in the slideshow to then be linked to a page or a post?

This works

Slideshow

to make the menu drop down in front of the slideshow (not behind it)

[slideshow id=1 w=180 h=240 ]

position: absolute;
z-index: 0;”

These two items work together to send the slideshow back.

Unfortunately sends the slideshow back behind the text as well as the menu.
note: z-index only works on “position: absolute”

To make the slideshow visible not behind text have a transparent gif/png as a picture for the text to run around.

[singlepic id=30 w=240 h=180 float=left] My Text………………………………..

Note the single pic option does funny things to the png/gif you create the image imported though nextgen. So you import a transparent image place it in the document over the slide show so it has an id (the size is part of the name). Then create a transparent gif/png with the same name id and replace the one created by nextgen direct via ftp its stored in wp-content/gallery/cache/

Sorry about that – that is very useful!

Or apparently code tags don’t work in this comment form… never mind, I’m sure you can figure it out ;)
