I have an extensive set of pictures on my SP13 enterprise wiki to display division capabilities. The first one I added to a page worked great. Then, I created the second picture library and tried to add that in another section of my page.

The library appears in the dropdown to select when I add the webpart, but the images from the first picture library I created appear in the slideshow.

Can you not have two slideshows rendering two different libraries on the same page?

  • Slideshow = Slides view? Interesting, when I add a webpart and switch it to "Slides" view, it doesn't show anything at all except of the webpart title after I save the page. Even with only one webpart on the page. Both wiki and normal pages... I use O365 SP2013 mode, so it should be the latest version I guess :)

  • I am having the same issue. I created a picture library slide show and it works great. I then add another webpart - picture library slide show, point it to another image library, but the images from the first slide show show up. I took a look at the article that was listed, but it only deals with image size. Did the original poster get this to work? Thanks!

This has been a topic on the technet boards. Take a look at this article. It has a couple of answers, though I don't like either. It appears to be a sizing issue with the underlying style sheets in SharePoint.

Hope this helps.

I have a work around for this, its a bit messy but it does work

Lets say you have 2 Picture Libraries in the same site called Photo1 and Photo2

You wish to display them on a page called MyPhotos.aspx

The process is as follows:

  1. Create a file called HideEverything.css this contains styles to hide all the unwanted elements on a page, basically everything except the Slide Show. Upload this to a regular library.
  2. Create a web part page called P1.aspx insert the Slideshow Web Part and connect it to Photo1. Add a content editor web part below this and Link it to HideEverything.css
  3. Create a web part page called P2.aspx insert the Slideshow Web Part and connect it to Photo2. Add a content editor web part below this and Link it to HideEverything.css
  4. Create a WIKI page called MyPhotos.aspx set the layout too two columns. In the left column insert a page viewer web part and set it to display P1.aspx?IsDlg=2, in the right column insert a page viewer web part and set it to display P2.aspx?IsDlg=2

Your slideshows will now display the correct content on MyPhotos.aspx

I have the styles for hiding the page elements if you need them
