I would like to change the records number to have the SlideshowPro display the images from one section to other section, which is the translation of the initial one, but uses the same images.
The records were not created in the same order.
Thanks anticipately,
A.G.

There's no easy way to change the record numbers. Are you trying to translate the image captions, etc?
If so would it work to add an additional image caption field for the other language for that upload field in the field editor?

I have two sections, which contain reviews of the same locations, but in different languages. I'm using SlideShowPro to display the images of this location.
Is there any way to display the images on both pages, since they are uploaded in a section, without the need to upload them twice?

I'd recommend adding more info fields to the uploads under: Admin > Section Editors > Your Section > Your Upload Field > Advanced Options > Upload Fields
You could have, for example:
Title (English)
Caption (English)
Title (French)
Caption (French)
And enter both values when uploading an image, but only display some on each instance of slideshowpro (create two different xml files, one that outputs info1 and info2 - the english, and another that outputs info3 and info4, the french).
Hope that helps! Let me know if that works for you.

I would like to have 2 records, from different sections displaying the same images with SlideShowPro.
The records in the 2 sections should have been in mirrored order, so I could just use the same .xml file to display the images.
But they aren't, so this is why I wanted to rearrange them, without having to upload the images again, because they are in the range of 1000's.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
A.G.

Unfortunately, There's no easy way to change the record number to keep the record numbers from the two sections in sync.
The only other idea I could think of is to have a field in the 2nd section that had the record number of the same record from the 1st section, then loading that. Other than that, I'm not really sure. If I think of any other ideas I'll post back.
