I have migrated from gallery2 to gallery3.
My site uses minislideshow on the first page to show a random sample of photos that have the keyword "WDHomeSS" associated with them. This has worked well.

I am having trouble getting the same thing setup with gallery3.

The orginial site is www.WhitmerDecks.com.
The old gallery2 is www.WhitmerDecks.com/gallery2/
The new gallery3 is www.WhitmerDecks.com/gallery3/

It seems that minislideshow 3.0.1 is made to work with gallery3 but no longer supports using a keyword or tag to determine the photos to show. Looks like it has to come from a single album.
I would also like something that will work with an iPad, but I cannot figure out how to integrate minislideshow 4.0 which uses jscript instead of flash.

Do you have a suggestion of how to go about getting the same functionality that I have with minislideshow 3.0.0 on www.WhitmerDecks.com?
Can I use something different than minislideshow to get the same result?

I am really pulling my hair out on this one. This is the last thing I need to get working to move to gallery3.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Your real question would be is there a tags RSS feed for G3 the answer to which I do not know.

I'm going to edit the subject of this thread and move it to a gallery3 forum.

There is not a tags or custom field or another requested feed (timeframe) but would think that http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:Modules:rss_extra could be expanded.

OK, if I move all of the photos I want to show into a single album then how do I change the code in www.WhitmerDecks.com/home.htm to show the album.
I just cant get it to work.
At this point I would like to explore having it work with flash and with jscript.

Thanks

suprsidr might be better for answering this but if you want the minislideshow on your root album to come from a specific G3 album you could edit the code. Currently you have :
flashvars="xmlUrl=http://www.whitmerdecks.com/gallery2/mediaRss.php?mode=dynamic%26g2_view=keyalbum.KeywordAlbum%26g2_keyword=WDHomeSS&shuffle=true&showDropShadow=true&showTitle=false&titleBgColor=999999&useFull=true&siteInfoText=Whitmer Decks, LLC&siteInfoUrl=www.WhitmerDecks.com&roundedMask=true&linkTarget=_blank"></embed>
You could change it to the G3 rss feed. and not the G2s mediaRss feed.
Example of G3's built-in rss feeds. http://www.yoursite.com/gallery3/index.php/rss/feed/gallery/album/44 That would show items from album with the ID of 44.
That assumes you have the RSS module active.

1st. You did not have to move away from G2 if it was doing what you wanted.
The migration to G3 did not damage your G2, so unless you deleted it it is still there.

Alternately if you are going to use G3 and use the jquery version:
upload jquery.minislideshow.4.0.min.js to your site's root directory

<div id="mini-g3">
    <strong>Javascript required to view this content.</strong>
</div>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/jquery.minislideshow.4.0.min.js"></script>
<script>
$('#mini-g3').minislideshow({
    url: '/gallery3/index.php/rss/feed/gallery/album/2',
    width: 436,
    height: 277,
    delay: 4,
    fullsize: true,
    resize: true,
    radius: '10px',
    shuffle: true
});
</script>

Thanks for your help on this floridave
and siprsidr.
I now have a test page working with both the flash and jscript versions.
http://www.whitmerdecks.com/home_test01.htm
http://www.whitmerdecks.com/home_test02.htm

I like the control I have over the flash player. I cannot align the jscript version to the right. Unless I just don't know how to do that. I like that the jscript will be viewable with an ipad. More and more people go to the site wit an ipad.

One other issue. When I click on the player in either version I get an error. This should take me to the item in the gallery.
Thoughts on this?

Now if I could just get the http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:Modules:rss_extra expanded to provide a feed based on tags everything would be great.

Any hints on how to get an version of rss_extra that would provide this functionality?

Thanks again for your help.
I still have a little hair left;-)

float the mini right, not align:

<div id="mini-g3" style="float:right;">
    <strong>Javascript required to view this content.</strong>
</div>

Looks like there is some redirect setup for the theme you are using in G3

For http://www.whitmerdecks.com/home_test02.htm just add a float to the div:

#mini-g3 {
float: right;
}

If I'm understanding the question, the answer is "yes," G3 does offer an RSS feed for each tag. The format is usually something like feed://thewebsite.com/index.php/rss/feed/tag/tag/TAG_ID#

Awesome! Thank you tempg.
That works perfectly with the minislideshow on my main page to show the tagged items that I want.
