The slideshow images

[JohnLloyd]

I've noticed that the slideshow images that decorate the top section of the forum seem to have got into a rut.

It's the same small set of pictures that slide across now. I think I've seen Que Gozada rather often, for example!

How are these images selected, and have they got stuck? Or is it a browser issue for me alone?

I think that is a tech question that @ivar is probably best placed to answer. Might be an idea to send him a personal message in case he does not spot your question in the crowd.

They are as labeled, the Latest Camino Photos submitted to the media area. I liked the presentation of a random collection of photos that the forum had for years until recently.

 

[JohnLloyd]

Ah, so any of us could add new images to that area and they would replace the current set?

And there was me thinking they were gathered from the forum automatically.

 

[JohnLloyd]

And now I've added an image. Splendid!

I used to have the slideshow to be of random photos... but I found that this meant that if you uploaded a new photo, it would "never" be shown... so now I have changed it to the latest photos. This mean that if you upload a new photo in the media section here:

https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/camino-photos/

...it will be shown in this slider...

That's great, perhaps the "One Day At A Time" crew can add media here to keep that section fresh!

Since you already have the code for randomized photos maybe it would be easy to just add a link titled Random Camino Photos Instead next to the link titled Latest Camino Photos.

I turned off the random photos... so now it shows the latest (hence why the title says latest). I feel it is best to have the latest photos show... so people feel that the photo they have uploaded is shown...

ahh.. I may have misunderstood you.. I can only have it one way at a time... so I can't have random photos and latest at the same time..

Thanks for considering my request anyway. Having done lots of coding I know things that look like they could be easy can be very difficult; that's why I emphasized the maybe.

I like your concept and implementation of presenting newest images: Sounds fair. Kind of most up to date/relevant.

Yes, I was also thinking that we were seeing a lot of Alvaro Lazaga's legs!

 

[JohnLloyd]

I hope he doesn't take it personally...

I saw them in the flesh last month near Melide. But not for long - that man moves fast!
