Looking for plug-in to give slide show of missing classmates
Posted Saturday, June 26, 2010 at 12:18 PM

Anybody have a source for a plug-in that allows me to load up yearbook photos of missing classmates and plays them in a slide-show? Could be flash based or an animated gif?

Possibilities:

1) Use Photobucket.com slideshow generator
2) Use slide.com, nice setup and easy to embed plugin
3) If you don't need it embedded on another page use the built-in Gallery Creator

Thanks, Brad. I tried Slide.com -- worked OK, but too much selling their services IMO.

Then I remembered Google's Picassa which I've used for several years. I created a simple slide show of the missing classmates. Picassa converted it to Flash.

If you click on the slide show, you can control it; otherwise it plays through all 35 images.

Consider using the photo gallery slideshow. It's a great feature.

I used Slide.com to create a slide show on our memory page of our deceased classmates. The show can be subsequently edited for future additions (heaven forbid) and the site allows for all kinds of themes, music etc.

John - I like the idea of using Picasa for this purpose (missing classmates) but I have over 500 missing classmates (we had over 900 graduates). How do I get all these photos into Picasa without uploading each one individually?

Thanks... Betsy

Betsey, I don't think any slide show will work. I think Picassa has a storage limit and a limit on how many images can be in one album -- but you'll have to check that out. With 500 missing @ 5 seconds each on a slide show equals about 40+ minutes. No one is going to want to watch all that! Embarassed

Maybe make up a "10 Most Wanted" slide show in an announcement that links to the list of Missing members. Change which 10 they are monthly (by swapping out the 10 images in the online Picassa album.)

I like your "10 most wanted" suggestion. I think that will work, Thanks!
