Topic: Wordpress Plugin - Slideshow on Duplicate Post

We have a situation in which we create a juicebox slideshow on a wordpress post, then we duplicate the post to be displayed in a second situation without a header or sidebar.

Is there are way to have this second post display the slideshow without having to upload all the images again?

Thank you for any advice you may have.

Re: Wordpress Plugin - Slideshow on Duplicate Post

It is not possible to display a WP-Juicebox gallery multiple times throughout a WordPress site.
Each WP-Juicebox gallery is linked to an individual post and displays the images attached to that post.
(You would need the ability for the gallery to display images attached to a different post.)

You would need to upload the images for each gallery.

If you want to reuse images, then you might like to consider using a different source for your images (such as Flickr, a NextGEN Gallery or a Picasa Web Album). You could quickly and easily set up two different galleries to display the same images in these cases.

I should have stated that our gallery actually stores images on Amazon S3.  Is it possible in this case?

It is not possible to duplicate a gallery created by WP-Juicebox.
You could reuse images (but not a gallery) if the source of images is Flickr, a NextGEN Gallery or a Picasa Web Album but if the gallery is sourced by Media Library images, then, no matter where the images are stored (locally or on Amazon S3), you will need to upload the images again and attach them to the post containing the new gallery.

You could, however, create a gallery on your computer with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro and use the baseUrl method of embedding (documented here) to embed the same gallery in multiple different posts.

Essentially, once you have created a gallery with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro, you would upload the complete gallery folder (not just the contents) to your web server and paste the baseUrl embedding code into the body of your WordPress post (ensuring that the method of entry is 'Text' rather than 'Visual'). It does not matter where on your web server you upload your gallery folder to as long as the two paths in the embedding code (the path to the 'juicebox.js' file and the baseUrl itself, pointing towards the gallery folder) are correct.

Thank you for your response.

After reading the documentation it gives descriptions for embedding on HTML, and a variety of other web sites but not wordpress.  Iframes are not an option since the features that we are using juicebox for will not work in an iframe setting.  If I understand correctly, this method will not work on a wordpress site?  (yes we do have the pro version)

Re: Wordpress Plugin - Slideshow on Duplicate Post

You can use the baseUrl method of embedding in a WordPress site just fine (similar to the instructions for Drupal and Joomla). This has none of the restrictions that using an iframe would have.

Thank you, I'll look more closely at that.  I really appreciate your assistance.
