SSP/LR Embedding Summary
Summary
| Method | SWF Popups | Image Popups | bgcolor Controlled By | Downside? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shadowbox w/ loader.swf | YES* | YES | Shadowbox settings | Extra viewing step |
| Shadowbox w/ index.html | YES | YES | SSP/LR settings | Extra viewing step; May want to edit index.html to get rid of scroll bars (see here) |
| Kimili Flash Embed w/ loader.swf | YES* | YES | Kimili settings | Limited to WordPress width |
| iFrame w/ index.html | YES | YES | SSP/LR settings | Limited to WordPress width; Need iFrame enabled browsers; May want to edit index.html to get rid of scroll bars (see here) |
* Anytime you embed ‘loader.swf’, SWF type pop ups will not work out of the box. You need to adjust the location of ‘pop.html’ to be specific to the post you are embedding the slideshow in ( found in images.xml; explained here: http://wiki.slideshowpro.net/SSPlr/Tips-EmbedInSeparateHTMLDocument )
For my money, embedding index.html with Shadowbox gives me the most bang for my buck. That’s what I normally use. YMMV.
Examples
iFrame w/ SWF popups (pop ups work):
Shadowbox Gallery w/ SWF popups; Embed loader.swf (pop ups don’t work):
Shadowbox Gallery w/ Image popups; Embed loader.swf (pop ups work):
Shadowbox Gallery w/ SWF popups; Embed index.html (pop ups work):
