Hello,

I've read this issue #602906: Slideshow Pro Album pictures and tried to create a preview picture for each album. I simply want to use the first image as preview picture.

Am I right with overriding the theme_ssp_images function?
I declared $album_preview = $base_path.$node->field_images[0]['filepath']; and put it into the tag as tn="'.$album_preview .'".
So this is the whole line:

print '<album id="'.$single_album_node->title.'" title="'.$single_album_node->title.'" description="'. strip_tags($single_album_node->body).'" tn="'.$album_preview .'" >';

I tried it for both cases SSP_SINGLE and SSP_MULTIPLE but in none of both tn is going to be loaded.

I'd really appreciate if somebody could help me.

Thanks a lot,
Stefan

Thats correct you should be overriding those.

Let me take a look a little bit later today, Ill see if I can get it working.

This has been resolved in beta3.

you might need to do some tweaking to the theme_ssp_params. In order for it to look somewhat nice, I had to remove unnecessary columns.

Yes, since beta5 it works fine in multiple slideshows but the preview picture still doesn't appear in the album. Am I missing something?

I've figured it out... it was just a little of copy & paste and rewriting the theme_ssp_image for the ssp_single case, so never mind. :)
But maybe it makes sense to implement this into the module to achieve an uniformly appearance of both slideshow and multiple slideshow.

hrmm, what did you change?

I simply added the following line on line 130 of ssp.module:

$album_thumb = imagecache_create_url('ssp_thumbnail', $node->field_images[0]['filepath'], TRUE);

And then added tn="'. $album_thumb .'" on line 131 into the <album> tag.
