 * Can someone post the basics of setting up Superview, please?
    I’d like to see:
   1. Example of shortcode 2. Example of page on where it should be placed 3. Explanation
   of landing page and how that particular shortcode relates to the superview shortcode.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Superview is mailnly intented to be used as widget ( Super View Photos ).
    The
   widget needs a landing page, a page where to display the results upon.
 * The landing page will be automaticly created, and has by default the name Super
   View Photos.
    All landing pages have the shortcode `[wppa type="landing"][/wppa]`
   as content. You can add a size like `size="450"` if you like.
 * You can enter a shortcode on a page or post that does the same as the widget:
   `[
   wppa type="superview"][/wppa]`. You can add a size here too, if you like.
 * The shortcode `[wppa type="landing"][/wppa]` does display nothing by itsself,
   but entirely relies on the arguments in the querystring, like:
 * `?wppa-album=3&wppa-slide=1&wppa-occur=1&wppa-superview=1&wppa-photo=15`
 * A live demo is here: [http://beta.opajaap.nl/](http://beta.opajaap.nl/)
 * (It is a development site, so not everything may work properly, and the post 
   may be deleted in a few days.)

 * I had a look at the demo site but could not find an album that’s working correctly.
 * I’ve added the superview shortcode as above to the page [http://needlenook.com.au/super-view-photos/](http://needlenook.com.au/super-view-photos/)
   but I’m afraid it does not work at all.
 * Perhaps I am not understanding correctly what you mean by the landing page being
   automatically created. You say that they will have the landing shortcode on them,
   and that size=”450″ may be added, but that does not make sense if the page is
   automatically created.
 * Does one create a landing page, and if so what is it called?

 * ?????
 * Third widget area in the footer of [http://wppa.opajaap.nl/](http://wppa.opajaap.nl/)
   shows the widget.
 * It says — select an album –. Do so, e.g. select **Birds**, select the Thumbnails
   radio button and press the submit button.
    You will get the page named **Super
   View Landing page** and a display of the thumbnails of the album Birds.
 * > but that does not make sense if the page is automatically created.
 * Yes it does make sense!
 * A landing page is created once, if it is there, you can edit the page, rename
   it, enhance the shortcode or add text before and / or after the shortcode.

 * It was the beta site I looked at which does not appear to work. There are popups,
   but those popups have no content.
    A live demo is here: [http://beta.opajaap.nl/](http://beta.opajaap.nl/)
 * I was trying to avoid using the widget in the footer as this spoils the layout
   of the site, which is a live client site.
 * I have placed the widget in the footer, but the result does not work. I first
   tried it with the original shortcode in [http://needlenook.com.au/super-view-photos/](http://needlenook.com.au/super-view-photos/)–[
   wppa type=”superview”][/wppa]
 * I then tried it with no shortcode at all, still no result.
 * Currently it has the shortcode [wppa type=”landing”][/wppa] in the landing page.
   As you will see, the end result is not functioning.
 * I fear I don’t understand the instructions.
 * If a landing page is created automatically, and the name of the page is *not*/
   super-view-photos/, what page does it create and how do I find it?

 * Russell.

 * In your widget i select album **Sirdar Charts**
 * The thumbnails radiobutton is checked.
 * I press the Submit button.
 * I get the page named **Superview Photos** that displayes the thumbnail images
   in the selected album.
 * So, it works…
 * Same with Slidshow and all the other albums.
 * I do not see the problem.

 * I was hoping to get a result like this:
    [http://needlenook.com.au/superview-popup.jpg](http://needlenook.com.au/superview-popup.jpg)
 * Can only assume I’ve got the wrong impression of what superview is designed to
   do. How is the lightbox style image created in the screenshot I’ve linked to,
   can you tell me?

 * If you install the current version (4.6) lightbox is included in the plugin. 
   You only need to set the lightbox keyname to wppa IX-A6

 * Table IX J3 says Lightbox keyname The identifier of lightbox.
    Still not obvious
   what to do.

 * Another page suggests “I had VI-8 (“Slideshow fullsize link”) set to “No link
   at all” and it needed to be set to “Lightbox”
 * The location of that setting is now VI-B5a,,c,d but changing that to lightbox
   had no effect on the superview galleries or the existing galleries.

 * You should NOT install a lightbox plugin, its all embedded into wppa+.
 * Table IX-J3 should be set to the default: **wppa**
 * You can set the links in Table VI under **Link Type** to _lightbox_ wherever 
   you want.
 * This should work.

 * Ok I have the lightbox working. I understand now that superview and lightbox 
   are two different functions.
 * Here are the settings I’ve used to make it work.
 * VI-B5a,,c,d set to “Lightbox”.
    and VI-B 2a,b,c,d Set this to lightbox
 * this worked, but lightbox does not show full IPTC and is black.
 * I imagine if I dig around I’ll find settings for the lightbox colours. Are there
   separate settings for the Lightbox IPTC as well?
 * Thanks so much for all your help thus far, really appreciate it.

 * You can not show full iptc, but you can include iptc tags in descriptions and
   display the descriptions in lightbox.
 * See Table II-G where you can enable the display of descriptions dependant of 
   the origin of the lightbox display ( the type of image where the lightbox link
   comes from ), and [http://wppa.opajaap.nl/iptc-and-exif-data/wppaspec/ab60/pt2176/cv0/oc1](http://wppa.opajaap.nl/iptc-and-exif-data/wppaspec/ab60/pt2176/cv0/oc1)
   for the use of exif and iptc tags in descriptions.
