Hi, I was wondering how to autostart slideshow with flashvar, what parameter to use?
I have tried using various ways, without success. Is this possible or not?

Flahvar? Why don't you simply change the
autostart value in the config? Both of them will set the value globally anyway ...
If you want autostart enabled for only a specific folder, then you can sue folder parameters.
image.slideshow.autostart=true

Hi and thanks for the reply, that works through the admin, but what I'm trying is embedding the imagevue into wordpress.
Here is the code I'm using:
[kml_flashembed publishmethod="dynamic" fversion="10.0.0" replaceId="gallery" movie="http://portfolio.grimur.net/iv-includes/imagevue2.swf" width="100%" height="400" targetclass="flash" quality="best" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allownetworking="all" fvars="mainmenu=false&largecontrols=false&startpath=/files/Nature/&maincontrols=false&scale=fitstage&thumbnailscroller=false&imagebuttons=false&rightclick=false&globalshadow=false&autostart=true"]
<p><a href="http://adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Get Adobe Flash...</a></p>
[/kml_flashembed]
I'm using the kimili flash embed plugin, everything works except autostarting the slideshow, is this maybe not possible?

If you open the file iv-includes/include/config.xml, you can find the node:
<url_params type="array" separator="," description="Sets a group of parameters from the config that may be set from url parameters">globalpath, theme, contentfolder, startpath, startmode, language, maincontrols, stylesheet</url_params>
Add "autostart", save, and re-upload. You should now be able to use autostart from flashvars ...

I've done that, but still does not work, is it correct like this "autostart=true" or should there be something more or else?
Sorry added it in the wrong place, I'll give it a try. Sorry

But it also doesn't work, nothing changes

Sorry, URL vars can only control items in the config that have unique names, and I forgot that "autostart" is used also for audioplayer ...
There may be a "cheeky" workaround for this, by simply deleting this line in the same XML file:
<autostart type="boolean" description="Sets the audioplayer to play when gallery starts">true</autostart>
Other than this, I think you are required to either set autostart globally, or set it on a per-folder basis in parameters.
I think we will add global parameters in the next release, so that you can set any theme/config setting throuh flashvars per gallery instance.

That sounds great

I'm embedding it to my wordpress like a slideshow, it looks really good

For now I put the folder parameters to start slideshow. But it would be great to have the possability to set the same parameters in the embedding as in folder parameters

Yes, I have added to list. I am also looking forward to do some cool stuff with Imagevue and Wordpress.

Just for the record, you can already set parameters on document-level in Imagevue:

(scroll down to bottom, "Flashvars in Documents")
