Slideshows of all the images in another article

The [ArticleImagesSlideShow:] tag allows you to generate an slideshow of all the images (except for the summary image) contained in another article.
The syntax for this tag is [ArticleImagesSlideShow:ArticleNumber,Delay] where Delay is the number of seconds between images. This value is optional and defaults to 5.

The images are shown using the same style and layout options as on their original page, and are only displayed if the original article is validated and the user has permission to view the original article containing the images.

Multiple slideshows can be displayed, at different speeds if required, and also in the left and right columns by use of the AddContent: tag. If you have a slideshow in one of the columns, it is a good idea for the images in the original article to be set to a thumbnail style, otherwise the image may be too big to fit in the column.

Bear in mind that it is hard work for the browser to do the fading in and out, so having multiple slideshows and/or short delay times may make thigs jerky on lower powered computers.

If the user's browser does not have javascript enabled, then all the images are shown in a list.


The slideshow in the left hand column here was generated by embedding the following command inside an AddContent:Left tag:
[ArticleImagesSlideShow:284,7]
