You can read more about it on the website but the configuration of it on our website works through a config file on the server. This config file is located at the following server directory - /home/venice40/public_html/wp-content/themes/display/slideshow/. You must use the FTP to access and edit this file. XML files are used to pass parameters to flash files - the slider uses flash to display the images. A great program to use to edit this file is Notepad++ it is free and will allow you to easily understand how to configure or change slides.<br /> <br /> ====Example slide====<br /> Below is the code for an example slide:<br /> [Image:http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/9026/codey.png]<br /> <br /> The url field contains the location of the image which you must upload to the server to a known location. The image size for the slideshow is 940x420. The link field (containing # above) will link to the page URL listed there when the description is clicked. The heading and paragraph are self-explanatory and make up the description bubble.</div>
