00:06 hello everybody this is Joe workman and
00:08 today I'd like to introduce you to the
00:10 new quick pics Instagram stack this
00:13 stack lets you really easily integrate
00:15 your Instagram photos into your
00:17 rapidweaver website you can have nice
00:20 image galleries and also beautiful
00:24 slideshows so your users can also enjoy
00:28 your Instagram photos now it's great
00:31 with the stack is once you publish this
00:33 page all your photos will dynamically
00:36 update on the website so as you're out
00:38 on your vacation or wherever taking
00:40 pictures with Instagram your wrap weaver
00:42 website will always have your most
00:44 recent photos that's pretty awesome
00:48 let's jump on in and see really how easy
00:50 it is to configure this awesome stack
00:54 when you add the quick pics Instagram
00:56 stack to your rapidweaver page you'll
00:58 notice that it has a really nice preview
01:00 of what the published page will look
01:03 like this is important because these
01:05 this stack will not work in preview mode
01:07 you have to publish this stack in order
01:10 for it to function now let's jump
01:12 through some of the settings to setup
01:16 your Quick Pick stack you have a few
01:18 different queries you can either have
01:19 your recent photos which is the photos
01:21 that you've posted to Instagram your
01:24 photo feed which is all of the photos
01:27 from your followers and people that you
01:29 follow on Instagram and liked photos
01:32 these are all the photos that you have
01:33 loved and you have liked on Instagram
01:37 now limit image defines how many images
01:40 you want to display on your wrap weaver
01:43 page obviously the more photos that you
01:45 want to load the longer the page load
01:47 time is going to be so anything between
01:50 20 to 40 pictures is going to load
01:52 relatively quickly anything more than
01:54 that it may start slowing your webpage
01:57 down but you can actually load up as
02:00 many as you want okay we have three
02:03 different size images available so we
02:06 have small medium and large images the
02:11 changes are large you're probably only
02:12 going to be using
02:13 for the slideshow feature not for
02:15 galleries okay in theme you'll notice
02:19 that we have both gallery and slideshow
02:21 settings so I mean you'll notice the
02:24 different settings are opened up when
02:26 you choose that particular theme
02:28 so for gallery you have the ability to
02:30 choose the gutter which is the gap
02:32 between each photo and for the slideshow
02:34 you have the ability to change the
02:36 effect do you want a fade effect do you
02:38 want to slide left right what is the
02:40 animation speed custom navigation arrows
02:43 so on and so forth now the rest of the
02:47 settings that we're going to use
02:48 throughout the stack actually Universal
02:49 for both the gallery and the slideshow
02:51 themes so for image styling we can
02:55 actually add a border around each image
02:58 so we could say that we want a white
03:00 border and have it a particular number
03:02 of pixels maybe add a border radius to
03:04 the image okay and then we can also add
03:07 a drop shadow and as you notice that
03:09 effect is applied live to each image in
03:13 our gallery now for captions we have
03:19 many different options available for
03:21 captioning by default it displays the
03:25 caption that you've typed into Instagram
03:27 as a tooltip now if you also have our
03:31 tip tip stack you can actually displayed
03:34 really nice styled tooltips and quick
03:37 picks integrates nicely directly with
03:39 the tip tip stack however if you don't
03:42 want to use a tooltip you we have many
03:44 different options available you can
03:46 display the caption on the bottom you
03:50 can display by floating the caption in
03:52 the center of the image and you can also
03:55 then float it at the bottom of the image
03:57 as well and you have full rein over what
04:01 color do you want so you do you want it
04:02 black gray or white the opacity of that
04:06 the vertical alignment so where do you
04:08 want that potentially aligned within the
04:12 image okay do you want to show a border
04:15 on your caption do you want to animate
04:17 that on hover so do you want to only
04:20 show that caption when you actually
04:22 hover over the image or do you want it
04:24 static there all the time
04:27 lastly you can customize the text so do
04:30 you want it the text to be aligned left
04:32 what's the color the text at oh and then
04:35 the text size so you have a lot of
04:37 flexibility over these caption settings
04:41 and styling the last settings allow you
04:45 to adjust and activate a lightbox so
04:48 that when a smaller image is clicked on
04:51 that image will open up in a lightbox
04:54 you have the ability to change the
04:56 actually overlay behind the image the
04:59 opacity of that and then the border
05:02 radius and closed position for that for
05:06 the close button in the lightbox so as
05:11 you see these settings are really simple
05:13 to use very powerful very easy to use
05:16 however there's one last thing how do we
05:18 actually configure our Instagram account
05:21 as you'll notice there was actually no
05:24 way to configure what your Instagram
05:26 account was that's because we do this
05:28 after you publish your webpage so when
05:31 we visit our published web page will
05:33 notice a link here instead of the stack
05:35 we see a link that says click this link
05:38 to set up your Instagram authentication
05:39 and when we click on that link it's
05:42 actually going to redirect us to
05:43 Instagram where we need to login to our
05:46 Instagram account and actually grant
05:49 access to the Quick Pick stack so let's
05:52 go ahead and click authorize and that's
05:55 gonna redirect us back to our web page
05:57 and we should instantly see our gallery
05:59 now this set up is only a one-time thing
06:02 and you shouldn't have to do it again so
06:05 now you can sit back have a beer and
06:07 enjoy your Quick Pick stack I hope you
06:10 enjoy this everybody have a great day
06:12 bye bye
06:21 you"}]
