Step 2: Create a folder with your images and a text file
To use Plugin Slideshow CK Params, you need to create a folder with your images and a text file named params.txt in it. The text file will contain the parameters for each slide, such as the caption, the link, the duration, etc. You can use any text editor to create the text file.
The format of the text file is as follows:
image1.jpg|caption1|link1|duration1
image2.jpg|caption2|link2|duration2
image3.jpg|caption3|link3|duration3
...
Each line corresponds to one slide. The parameters are separated by a pipe symbol (|). You can leave any parameter empty if you don't need it. For example, if you don't want to add a caption or a link to a slide, you can write:
image4.jpg||||
The parameters are:
image: The name of the image file. The image must be in the same folder as the text file.
caption: The caption for the slide. You can use HTML tags to format the caption.
link: The link for the slide. You can use any valid URL or menu item alias.
duration: The duration of the slide in milliseconds. This overrides the global duration setting in Slideshow CK module.
For example, if you want to create a slide with an image named flower.jpg, a caption that says "Beautiful flower", a link to an article named "How to grow flowers", and a duration of 5000 milliseconds, you can write:
flower.jpg|<h3>Beautiful flower</h3>|how-to-grow-flowers|5000
Save the text file and upload it along with your images to a folder on your server. For example, you can create a folder named slideshow in your images folder and upload your files there.
