Installation
- Download Magic Slideshow (free and fully functional demo version).
- Unzip the file on your computer and FTP the magicslideshow folder to the root of your website (on your server), keeping the file and folder structure intact.
- In your Volusion admin panel, go to the Design > Template menu and click the Edit HTML link.
-
Insert the following lines before the </head> tag:
<link href="/v/magicslideshow/magicslideshow.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen"> <script src="/v/magicslideshow/magicslideshow.js"></script>
- Using FTP, create an 'images' folder inside the 'magicslideshow' folder. Then upload your slideshow images to the new 'images' folder.
-
Go to: Admin > Design > Site Content > ID 2 > Default.asp > Article Body > HTML view. Enter HTML code below. Remember to reference your slideshow images located on your server:
<div class="MagicSlideshow"> <img src="/v/magicslideshow/images/example1.jpg"> <img src="/v/magicslideshow/images/example2.jpg"> <img src="/v/magicslideshow/images/example3.jpg"> </div>
Note: Please don't use the Visual Editor for editing content which contains Magic Slideshow code as editor may break Magic Slideshow HTML code.
- Now your images should slide!
- You can customize your slideshow (Ken Burns, fade, bullets + more) using HTML code from the Magic Slideshow™ integration page.
- Buy Magic Slideshow To upgrade the Magic Slideshow trial (which removes the red text shown on every image), buy a Magic Slideshow license. Then overwrite the demo magicslideshow.js file with the one from your license.

- Go to the Magic Slideshow settings wizard.
- Choose the settings you want and click Apply settings.
- Click Global Settings and then click Copy to clipboard.
