HTML MARKUP REQUIREMENTS --------------------------------Below, I will show you the markup required to produce various types of galleries . After the first example, I will exclude the UL wrapper and only show the HTML necessary for a single pane l and/or frame. 1) /li> <li><img src="../gv/path/to/image2.jpg" alt="image2" />< /li> <li><img src="../gv/path/to/image3.jpg" alt="image3" />< /li> <li><img src="../gv/path/to/image4.jpg" alt="image4" />< /li> </ul> This is the simplest gallery one can have. By default, the filmstrip wil l appear below the panels. The number of frames visible will be determined by the size of the panels. If there is enough space in the ga llery to fit all the filmstrip frames, the filmstrip will be centered within the gallery. If there are too many frames, the additional frames will be hidden from view initially, appearing as the filmstrip slides Basic slideshow (no added features) <ul id="gallery"> <li><img src="../gv/path/to/image1.jpg" alt="image1" /><

to the left with each transition. Panel and frame dimensions are set via plugin options, as is the location of the filmstrip. It can be set to appear below, above, or to either side of the panels. 3) Slideshow with panel overlays <li> <img src="../gv/path/to/image.jpg" alt="image" title="Pr etty Picture" longdesc="Some more information about the photo" /> </li> For this gallery, the contents of the title and longdesc attributes will display on top of the panel image, its position determined by the 'overlay_position' option. The color of the overlays are set in the inc luded CSS file. CREATING/USING CUSTOM NAVIGATION THEMES --------------------------------GalleryView comes with four themes by default: - dark - light - dark2 - light2 The dark themes contain dark navigation buttons and are best used in galleries w ith light backgrounds. The light themes contain light colored images and are best for galleries with dark backgrounds. The dark2 and l ight2 themes contain oversized buttons to demonstrate GalleryView's ability to use any kind of navigation images you may want to use To create your own navigation theme, first create the following images: next.png prev.png panel-nav-next.png panel-nav-prev.png

The images can be of any file type. Then, update the galleryView CSS file with t he paths to your new navigation images. That should hopefully be enough to get you started on the right track. Feel free to experiment and find me on twitter (@jackwanders) if you have any questions or comments. Enjoy!
