How to do it
1. We created a data source, using HTML5 Data Bindings and DMXzone Database Connector PHP/ASP. In the database we stored the path, title, thumbnail and link for each of our images. Let's add DMXzone Supersized 2 (2) from the insert panel (1).
2. Select dynamic source radio button (1) and select your data source from the data source menu (2). Now, we select the repeating element of our data source. Click the HTML5 Data Bindings value icon (3).
3. Expand the data source tree (1) and select the repeating element of your data source (2). The repeating element is wrapped in square brackets. When you're done, click OK.
4. Now let's select the data element that stores the paths of our images. Click the HTML5 Data Bindings value icon.
5. In our data source it is called: image. Select it (1) and click the OK button (2).
6. We do the same with for the titels (1) but select the data element that contains our thumbnails paths. Do the same with the rest of the fields that you need to populate with dynamic data. When you're done, you can customize the appearance of the slideshow from the advanced tab (2).
7. Now, you can save and preview the results.
