Vanilla 1.1.10 is a product of Lussumo. More Information: Documentation, Community Support.
in previous version of Monoslideshow v1.32 it was an option to start the show with any of the 3 levels: albums, thumnails or photos.
startWith “photos”, “thumbnails”, “albums”, “albumsThenThumbnails”
unfortunately this function is no available in v2.04
can we have "startWith" control available again, in next update perhaps?

There is no need for this. If you give an album an id and use the startwithalbumid property it will start with this album. If the album contains images it will start to show the images. If you set the option startWithNavigationWindow to true and the startwithalbumid contains sub albums, you will see the album navigation window. If the album contains images it will show the thumbnail of these images. If you don't use the startWithAlbumId it will start with the first album that contains images.
Hope this will solve the problem.
Because I'm not very advanced in xml, could you please tell me where I have to edit the xml file. I can activiate the option startWithNavigationWindow="true", but I have no idea how to give the "startWithAlbumId".
This is my content including two albums. If I start Monoslideshow it should be opened with the overview for two albums.
<contents>
<album thumbnail="album/thumbnails/gallery/_DSC5276.jpg" itemPath="album/images/gallery" thumbnailPath="album/thumbnails/gallery" title="Gallery" description="Keep your eyes open">
<contents>
<image source="_DSC5160.jpg" title="title 1" description="description 1" />
<image source="_DSC5239.jpg" title="title 2" description="description 2" />
<image source="_DSC5276.jpg" title="title 3" description="description 3" />
</contents>
</album>
<album thumbnail="album/thumbnails/shooting/_DSC2412.jpg" itemPath="album/images/shooting" thumbnailPath="album/thumbnails/shooting" title="Shootings" description="Keep your eyes open">
<contents>
<image source="_DSC2412.jpg" title="title 1" description="description 1" />
</contents>
</album>
</contents>
Thanks a lot

That is, with example, described on p8 and p9 of the manual.
You need a structure like this:
<album>
<configuration startWithAlbumID="Foo" />
<album id="Foo">
<content...
</album>
<album> //second one, no ID necessary
<content...
</album>
</album>
Thanks a lot christophvl. But it is not working like I wanted.... :-(
I try to explaie it again: I do have two albums - for example "The best of" and "Shootings". If I work with the id I can start the monoslideshow with the overview for one specific album. I want to the overview for the highest level, where all albums are shown, not the photos in one specific album. Where do I have to add the album id for this case? And is it possibleI that a photo is lying in the background like in the screenshot below. I tried a lot but is doesn't work. My content test window is posted above.
Here is a screenshot:
Ah yes, silly mistake.
You need to change my example
<album>
<configuration startWithAlbumID="Foo" />
<album id="Foo">
<content...
</album>
<album> //second one, no ID necessary
<content...
</album>
</album>
into
<album id="Foo">
<configuration startWithAlbumID="Foo" />
<album>
<content...
</album>
<album> //second one, no ID necessary
<content...
</album>
</album>
If that doesn't work, throw in another wrapper album.
Christoph
Now it works - thanks a lot.
It would be great if one specific photo could be in the background like you can see in the screenshot. Have you any idea?
Have you tried backgroundImage in the album configuration? (p18 of the manual)
Christoph
Yes, I got the message that "BackgroundImage is not a valid attribut for album". Is the position where I placed it ok?
<album id="Foo" backgroundImage="album/images/shooting/_DSC2412.jpg">
<configuration startWithAlbumID="Foo" />
<album>
<content...
</album>
<album> //second one, no ID necessary
<content...
</album>
</album>
No, change that to
<album id="Foo" >
<configuration backgroundImage="album/images/shooting/_DSC2412.jpg" startWithAlbumID="Foo" />
<album>
<content...
</album>
<album> //second one, no ID necessary
<content...
</album>
</album>

I tried this before. Than I have the backgroundImage over the whole side. I tried to work with a padding, but I doesn't work so fare. You can look here:
http://www.uwehasubek.de/monoslideshow_1/index.html
Look at the first album and you will see what I mean.
I also tried to center the album overview over the photo. I can't work there with padding..
thanks for all your comments, this works now for me.
BUT, just another question: is it possible to start the slideshow with the first image after clicking on an album thumbnail instead of showing the thumbnails of all images in that album?
thx
