Insert Image SlideShow button TOC

This button opens a new window to insert an image slideshow.

Insert Slideshow dialog

First enter the name of your slideshow.  This name will not be displayed.  It is used to name variables inside of the slideshow and must be unique from any other slideshow in your bio.  The name must be made of letters or numbers [0-9] and [a-z], (no symbols allowed and spaces will be converted to underscores).  If you do not enter a unique name, a random number will be used to distinguish this slideshow from any other slideshow in your bio.
 
Next specify the width (in number of pixels) and color (in hex format: '#ffffff') of the border you want around your slideshow of images.  Note: You will not be able to edit the border after the slideshow has been inserted into the bio.

Now enter the URL's for the images you wish to include in your slideshow.

Finally click the 'Preview' button to verify that all of your images are correct.  If you like what you see in the preview, you are ready to click the 'Insert' button to insert the slideshow into your bio.

When you insert the slideshow into your bio, you will see a note about a hidden script that should look something like this:
 
[Hidden Script: Defines the Slideshow for (slideshow_name)
Hint: if you remove this script, be sure to remove the associated Start Slideshow Button.]


The hidden script display is there as a place holder to let you know where the script required to run the slideshow is stored. 
There is no way to edit the slideshow once it has been created. If you need to change it, select the entire hidden script message from bracket '[' to bracket ']' and then use the cut button or press 'Ctrl'+'X' to cut the script out of your bio. Then you can use the insert slideshow button again to insert a new revised slideshow.
 

Note: Clicking the 'Start Slideshow' button in the editor will not start the slideshow, but if you open a preview window of your bio the start button will become active.
