### Customize it!- top

####

Here, you will find some tips on how to customize the gallery to your needs.

#### Some main options explained

Features
Width
you should leave this to 100% if you do not want a fixed size. It will resize to it's parent container and will be responsive.
Inner Width
( in pixels ) choose a size of the main container of items. For example, the default ( 1575 ) means that 7 items of the default width ( 225 ) will fit per row
Item Width

the item width in pixels ( you can specify the size for each item individually too! )

note: if you have enabled external wp-content upload and want the files to be available in your media gallery, you can use a plugin like Add From Server to accomplish that

#### Description like in the preview

You can put any html inside the Description container. If you want it to look like in the preview, this is the code

#### Import / Export Database -/- Gear Menu

backup database / import, export feature - keep your database safe and do regular backups via the Export Database feature included with this plugin.

<h5>Test Feature</h5>

<span class="fake-link">Read More →</span>

The bolded part will become the link to the lightbox / page.

#### Localization

From update 1.0 the plugin supports localization. You can read more about it here

The process to translate the plugin is fairly easy:

1. download poedit
2. go to the plugin folder ( wp-content/plugins/dzs-scrollergallery or in the package you receive from CC ) to the languages folder
3. duplicate default.po and rename the dupe to dzssg-{region}_{language}.po -> for example for Spain / Spanish it's dzssg-es_ES.po you can find the format for each language in the link above
4. open the newly renamed file in poedit - do the changes and save - a .mo file with the same name will be created - that will be the translation file

### FAQ - top

You can check this link for a list of popular questions. Other questions you might have:

####

##### How to achieve the first example in the preview ?

Simple, just put a background image in the Background field. Enable Parallax Effect and Item Margin and use some cool photos. That should be all.

####

##### Made a scroller gallery showing my recent posts. I want to make the posts that are in the Scroller Gallery clickable, so when you click it, it then takes you to that news article.

If you edit the post , you should see a section below, Scroller Gallery Settings. Set the type to Link and it should now setup it up a link in the Scroller Gallery.

####

##### What is an youtube ID?

Take this movie for example - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXLvR6ZaZk4 . The youtube ID is just this part: UXLvR6ZaZk4

### Developer Tips - top

This gallery provides source files ( in the source folder ) so if you are developer you can start cusmizing it.

#### Recommended Programs

You can generally use any text editing software to edit most content/code, but this is what I recommend:

- .zip – Normally you could just right click and extract to a folder of choice [ on both Mac and Windows ]
- .html - Notepad++
- .js - Notepad++
- .as - Notepad++
- .fla - Flash CS5
- .xml – Notepad++
