More than one slideshow/album in the Photo section?

Post by promark747 » Wed Mar 16, 2011 7:40 pm

I've got an embedded Picasa slideshow working great (12 pictures, one for each player), but once the season begins I'd like to have different albums for each game. Is there a way to put more than one Picasa album or slideshow in the Photo section? I don't think it would be good to have just one big slideshow/album with hundreds of pictures.

Thanks!

iscore team site photo page only let's you embed one alternate provide at a time..

It would be up to picasa to create folders and sub folders.. does picasa allow nesting of folders/ albums? (I have used mobile me and it does not have nesting of folders/albums (wish it did)) .

Perhaps a expert user of picasa can provide some picasa how to.

I believe the Bears team site (find it in the gallery) has like six slideshows on their photo page, so clearly it can be done. I have not tried it myself. When I got around to it, I was going to grab the Picasa embed code and paste it into a simple text editor like notepad, then I was going to grab the embed code from the next slideshow and paste that right below the previous code in my text editor. Then, I was going to copy the whole thing into my team site and see what happened.

If you try it before me, let me know how it works out :)

Here is a link to okc bears site, I am on iPad and can't see the multiple photo albums (flash?) but there is an email there that should know how they did their site...

You can do a View Source on the Bears page to see what he did. He actually just did several <embed...> tags in a row. He even included some text where we suggest people just put the <embed...>. So he got creative and realized anything you put in there as long as it contains <embed...> will just be stuck on the page.

Thanks guys...it worked. I added the <embed> code for another slideshow right after the first one and the two showed up right next to each other, just like on the Bears' sight.

Awesome!
