Add images to the slideshow
After creating a new slideshow and when editing an existing slideshow, the Browse... and Upload Image buttons are displayed under the slideshow attributes. You'll use these to upload images from your computer into the slideshow database (slideshow images must be saved as jpeg images). To do so, click the Browse... button to display a "Get file..." dialog. Use the navigation tools in this dialog to browse to the location of your image, select the desired image then click Open. The image's name appears in the text box. Click Upload image to save the image into the database to be associated with the current slideshow. Once you've added your first image, the CMT will begin a list of images in the slideshow with three columns of attributes. Return to top Image name
This field appears to the left of a thumbnail version of the image you uploaded. Notice that the Slideshow editor changed the file's name when it uploaded. This name is for reference only and is not displayed on the live site. You can keep the new name or you can change it in this text box and click Update at the far right of the list to save your changes. Caption
Enter the text you want to accompany the image in the slideshow in this field. Target URL
If you want clicking on this image to send the reader somewhere other than the default URL, enter that address here. NOTE: To open the target as a popup window, open the page containing the information you want to display in the Page editor and click Popup options. You can copy the popup code in the code field and paste this code into the Target URL. Now, when your viewer clicks the image, it will popup a new window. Return to top Changing the slideshow order
Once your slideshow contains more than one image, a new box appears to the right of the option area. This box displays a list of the slideshow image names. To move an image's location in the order, click its name, then click Move Up or Move Down buttons. When you have created a new order you want to keep, click Submit new image order.
