The global slideshow has a nice layout - being full width with a distance from the main content of the pages and even when the pages have sidebars. This is however not the case with the custom slideshows that can be created with shortcodes. They can not be displayed in full width unless the page is set to full width, and that way you lose the possibility to have sidebars. When you ad a sidebar, the slideshow gets shortened and the layout gets messed up - having the navigation thumbnails covering the main slide image and the page title becoming visible on top of the slideshow. The custom slideshow is also put directly into the page content, i.e. without a nice distance from the content which looks quite ugly.

1. Add shortcode to reproduce the layout of the global slideshow, i.e. in full width regardless of template choice and with a nice distance from the page content. Doing this will allow users to have the same nice slideshow layout on all pages but customizing each individual slideshow to show post categories or pages etc.
2. Fix the layout issue when using sidebars, i.e. when the navigation thumbnails suddenly cover the main slide image and the page title becomes visible on top of the slideshow.
