Introduction jQuery Ken Burns Slideshowis the perfect way to showcase your pictures/ads in style. Each item has a separate slideshow time and you can edit their link, target and many other individual settings just by modifying the HTML .

API – call pause, play, gotoNext, gotoPrev from your html (outside the gallery) autoheight – option to autosize the gallery depending on the height of the content supports unlimited items – rotate as many pictures as you wish

slideshow mode – with independent time for each item that you can define in the HTML provided

values you can set up for each item – description (the description from the top), initialZoom(any value you wish), finalZoom, slideshowTime ( the time the banner rotator stays focused on the specific item ), burn effect time ( the time you wish the effect to take ), url (if no url is set the item will just be a image with no link on click ), transitionType(easeInSine,linear etc.) , initialposition, final position (choose from topleft,topcenter,topright,middleleft,middlecenter,middleright,bottomleft,bottomcenter,bottomright )

Possible panning positions ( initial and final ) FAQ

How to set the number of thumbnails, I have this portrait images in the slider.. the navigation only shows 2 of them, while there is space for 4?

You can’t set the number of thumbnails displayed per ‘page’ because it’s calculated automatically from thumb width / height and thumb space. So try to lower that for more thumbs. Also there is another parameter “nav_arrow_size:40” – this is the space that is allocated for each arrow ( so at default 80 px are substracted for the arrows ) and you can also lower this for more thumbs.

is it possible to put a link on the images ( the main image offcourse not the thumbnails) Yes, sure, write

<a href="#"><img src="img/def1.jpg" /></a>

instead of <img src="img/def1.jpg" />

I try to add links in the description but it breaks the script

Propably you are doing something like this BAD :

data-description="My link is <a href="http://something">here</a>" The problem is that the ” inside href breaks the ” from the data-description. The solutions is use ’ instead of “ GOOD :

data-description='My link is <a href="http://something">here</a>' Hi. How can i stop the auto-sliding of the phoenixgallery you have in the parameters

targetgallery.phoenixgallery({ transition_type:"random", nav_type:"thumbsa", nav_position:"up", thumb_width:100, thumb_height:75, thumb_space:20, nav_space:25, nav_arrow_size:40, settings_shadow:"off", settings_autoresize:"off", settings_autoheight:"off", settings_pauseonrollover:"off", settings_usethumbarrows:'off', transition_strips_x:10, transition_strips_y:5, arrows_normal_alpha:1, arrows_roll_alpha:0.3, thumbs_normal_alpha:1, thumbs_roll_alpha:0.3 })

to disable slideshow just add a new parameter settings_slideshow and set it to off like this

targetgallery.phoenixgallery({ transition_type:"random", nav_type:"thumbsa", nav_position:"up", thumb_width:100, thumb_height:75, thumb_space:20, nav_space:25, nav_arrow_size:40, settings_shadow:"off", settings_autoresize:"off", settings_autoheight:"off", settings_slideshow:"off", settings_pauseonrollover:"off", settings_usethumbarrows:'off', transition_strips_x:10, transition_strips_y:5, arrows_normal_alpha:1, arrows_roll_alpha:0.3, thumbs_normal_alpha:1, thumbs_roll_alpha:0.3 })

For some reason when I add a link to the image the zoom effect no longer functions. That is because the attributes data-initialZoom, data-finalZoom, data-effectTime etc. need to be on the direct child of the gallery div. For example if you have

effect will work, but if you add link like this <a href="#"></a> effect won’t work. You need to move the attributes to the direct child of the gallery like so: <a href="#" data-finalzoom="2"></a>
