Instructions to modify Minigal (B13) to include the slideshow mode. I strongly suggest to do a backup of your current Minigal install in case something goes wrong.

1. In gallery/index.php:

   insert the following line in the "INCLUDES AND VARIABLES" section

   if (isset($_REQUEST['slideshow'])) {
     $slideshow = 1;
   }
   

2. In Gallery/classes.php:

   Replace the whole file by this one. The only difference is the function imagenav(), but it has been modified enough than posting the instructions would be cumbersome for both me and you.

3. in gallery/language.php:

   Somewhere in "THE GALLERY" section, e.g., after:

   $MGaction->lang['last']                 = "Last";
   

   add:

   $MGaction->lang['start slideshow']      = "Start Slideshow";
   $MGaction->lang['stop slideshow']       = "Stop Slideshow";
   

4. In gallery/styles/blackframe/templates/template_header.php:

   After the line:

     <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=" />
   

   insert:

     <? if ($slideshow == 1) $MGaction->imagenav(0); ?>
   

5. in gallery/styles/blackframe/templates/template_imagenav.php:

   Replace:

     <? echo $nav_last ?>
   

   by:

     <? echo $nav_last ?> &nbsp;
     <? echo $nav_slideshow ?>
   

6. in gallery/styles/blackframe/images/, 4 additional images are needed:

   nav_start_slideshow.gif
   nav_start_slideshow_blank.gif
   nav_stop_slideshow_blank.gif
   nav_stop_slideshow.gif
   

7. in gallery/styles/blackframe/css/style.css:

   At the end, add:

   .imagenav a {
     text-decoration: none;
   }
   .imagenav a span {
     display:none;
     font-size: 80%;
     font-weight: normal;
     color:#d0d0d0;
     background:#707070;
     margin:0px;
     padding:2px 4px 2px 4px;
     border:solid 1px #000000;
     text-decoration: none;
   }
   .imagenav a:hover span {
     position:absolute;
     right: 5px;
     top: 33px;
     display:block;
     text-decoration: none;
   }
   
   .navgal a { 
     padding-left: 10px;
   }
   

You're done. Kind of long, isn't it? Again, unless you know what you're doing, wait for the next Minigal release.
