QNAP NAS Community Forum

Hello everyone!

I am sharing an album from my NAS using a public URL for my friends.
The link originally looks something like that: (the album id and nasname have been modified)
--> http://mynasname.myqnapcloud.com:8080/p ... bum=aBiFgH

When people visualize the slideshow, the slideshow has default parameters: the pictures are not sorted chronologically, a strange moving/zooming effect is set, the default music is playing, etc...
I wish I could set these otpions somewhere .... and not each user modify the options himslef

Here are the things that i want to modifiy

- I want to sort the order chronologically --> Solution: add &s=time at the end of the url
- I want to change the default effect --> Solution: ?
- I want to remove the music --> Solution: ?
- I want to set the time to slow/medium/fast --> Solution: ?
- I want to remove access to the option bar (i know it disappears if I hover the mouse out of the picture ... this is not the point) --> Solution: ?

So i found on this forum the solution to order the photo as desired (http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?t=95869).
Is there any option or solution to set the other options ? I really think that those options should be configurable when creating the public link....

Thank you for your help

Hi there,
I am wondering about the same thing here,Is there anyone that knows about this?
I am also curious to share an album in "Gallery" mode rather than "Slideshow" mode

Hope you can chime in,
Thanks RP

- I want to change the default effect --> Solution: &style=[effect name] possible options ['fade', 'scrollVert', 'turnDown', 'turnRight', 'turnLeft', 'uncover']
- I want to remove the music --> Solution: &music=-1
- I want to set the time to slow/medium/fast --> Solution: &timeout=[time in milliseconds] eg.&timeout=6000 (6 seconds)

to share an album in gallery mode, simply copy the the url link and paste it onto your favourite social network

@johnson407 nice workaround yet it would be great if those options where in share dialog (dropdown, checkboxes etc)

duly noted.

@johnson407
Thanks for the help,
However, no matter what link I get from my photo station, I only get the Slideshow view option..
It looks as this: http://177.318.134.70:8080/photo/slides ... bum=huKpGQ
I really love the Gallery view (and that seems the standard lately), but I can't figure it out..

Thank you for your time.

Hi
Johnson407,
I don't understand what you mean in regards to getting the gallery view link (instead of the slideshow view)

Can you explain for slow people like myself

Thank you,
Arpi

like this, simply copy the link at the address bar to share on the social network of your choice

you just have to open album setting and select "share with the public"

@johnson407
is there a list of all parameters available for slideshow.php?
How can I autostart the slideshow?

Johnson, another question: I do not see any difference whether I set "timeout=2000" or "timeout=6000". Why?
"style" works, but only if I use either values from 0 to 5 or the corresponding name without '

sort => s [time, name, custom]
sort direction => sd [asc, desc]
start position => start [0,1,2...]

and the usual style, timeout, music

there is no option to auto start the slideshow, you need to ssh and change the source code

find this block in /mnt/ext/opt/photostation2/lib/slideshow.js I am not sure why timeout doesn't work for you. do you have a sample link that I can take a look?

Hi Johnson,

thanks for your response.

Regarding timeout: NAS is not accessable from internet, so I just give you a video link to demonstrate: https://youtu.be/dIGl4ivWkhM
First I use timeout 1000, and then 20000. There is no difference after starting the slideshow.

Regading your code:
I opened the js code in vi (you can see parts of it in the video on the left side).
It seams that the js code is somehow automatically scripted - no comments, very hard to read....
Where shall I add your code in slideshow.js? Should I add it or just modify it?
I did not find "if slideshow" inside the code. And I did not find a code where css(display) is tested on "none".

I am using Photostation 5.2.2 on TS-119P+.

bug confirmed. and here is the javascript file you can use to fix that. slideshow-mod.js is the version with auto-start enabled.
