Hi. I'm creating K2 items which each contain around 5 photos in the 'Image gallery'. When viewing the Item on the front end I'm needing to show one image but auto-rotates amongst the 5 photos. I was going to use Simple Image Gallery PRO but is it my understanding it doesn't auto-rotate, so the thumbnails have to been shown to navigate?

My end goal is to have the images rotate without thumbnails, would I need to use the Frontpage Slideshow component?

Thanks!

If your using the gallery to upload and manage the galleries, you may be able to create modules of front page slideshow and point them to use the items for that image. This would not be dynamic and different modules wold have to be created for each item you want this effect for.

Ah, that makes sense. I was hoping there would be a plugin, instead of module, that I could code in the item.php page. Something like {rotatinggalleryplugincode?<?php echo $this->item->image; ?>} where it would know to pull the respective item's gallery dynamically.

Thanks, I'll look more into it,
Wesley

Is it possible to add a Joomla content plugin to the item.php page? What I did was install the Simple Picture Slideshow plugin:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/photos-a-images/images-slideshow/6432

I changed the image root path to: /media/k2/galleries/

In my item.php page I inserted the plugin code:
{besps}<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>{/besps}

This pulls the respective item's ID correctly but the plugin in not rendered, such as if my K2 item is 92 it shows:
{besps}92{/besps}


Thank you,
Wesley
