Slideshow Creator
Slideshow Creator's integration with CCK is recommended since it gets really easy to build slideshows.
Installation
- Just copy the folder to your sites/all/modules/ folder
- Activate the module in your Drupal installation. Go to administer > modules (on Drupal 4.7) or administer > site building > modules (on Drupal 5.0)
- Go to administer > input formats (on Drupal 4.7) or administer > site configuration > input formats (on Drupal 5.0) and add slideshow filter in any filter type your site have.
Usage
But you can insert it in any node, adding the string:
[slideshow:VERSION, img=|IMAGE_URL|LINK|TITLE|DESCRIPTION|TARGET|, img=|IMAGE_URL|LINK|TITLE|DESCRIPTION|TARGET|]
where:
VERSION: REQUIRED the slideshow filter version: currently 2
then, for each image you want to insert, use:
IMAGE_URL: REQUIRED the image itself
LINK: if you want to provide a link to some page, put the URL here
TITLE: often the bold text over the image
DESCRIPTION: often the text under the image
TARGET: where the linked page will show: _blank (default) will show on another window, _parent and _top is only used when pages have frames, _self shows on the very window or you can use a window name.
Or automatically extract images from a given directory. You can create a normal slideshow, but you can scan for more images using dir=|DIR_IMAGE|DIR_RECURSIVE|DIR_LINK|TITLE|DESCRIPTION|TARGET|
where:
DIR_IMAGE: REQUIRED the slideshow filter version: currently 2
DIR_RECURSIVE: "yes" if you want to scan recursively or leave it blank
DIR_LINK: "yes" if you want link all images to their own path or leave it blank
TITLE, DESCRIPTION and TARGET are applied to all images
example: (you can copy and paste for a test)
[slideshow: 2, img=|http://drupal.org/sites/all/themes/bluebeach/logos/drupal.org.png|drupal.org|Drupal|The ultimate CMS. Download it now!|Drupal|, img=|http://www.mysql.com/common/logos/mysql_100x52-64.gif|http://www.mysql.com|MySQL|Free and reliable SQL server and client.|_self|, dir=|files/|yes||Generic Photos|Aren't they great?||]
D6 addon
D6: On admin/settings/filters, you should see a list of input formats. Either add a new one or configure one of the existing ones and you should be able to add the slideshow input filter to it, by clicking on configure next to the input format.
Can't make it work
Hello,
Can someone help please?
I added the slideshow filter to Full HTML and to Filtered HTML.
Then I've created a page, and I don't see any plugin for the slideshow.
So I inserted this code:
[slideshow: 2, dir=|files/|yes||Generic Photos|Arent they great?||]
Nothing is shown on the page.
My site sits at: C:\wamp\www\site\sites\site1
I have 2 images in this folder: C:\wamp\www\site\sites\site1\files
Why don't I see the images in the slide?
Thank you,
Sigal
Issue Queue
You would probably get more attention in the module's issue queue.
"DIR_IMAGE: REQUIRED the
"DIR_IMAGE: REQUIRED the slideshow filter version: currently 2"
Is that right?
Shouldn't it say "directory for images"?
DIR_IMAGE description
Indeed. In the module's README it says:
DIR_IMAGE [required]: the directory that you want to scan for images. The folder base is the default site files folder, generally "sites/default/files".
Trailing and Preceding Slashes are necessary
In case you are using the "directory" part of the setup, and (for example) you have kept your images under sites/default/files/frontpage_slideshow, then you need to configure the settings as (for example):
[slideshow: 2, rotate=6, blend=3, dir=|/frontpage_slideshow/|yes|||||]
In other words, the trailing and preceeding slashes are necessary.
it NOT work well in 6.x?
even I use the eg ,it also can NOT show the first image. WHY?
Sorry
it works well !
Working perfectly on Local Machine but not on web hosting server
I am facing a strange problem with this module. Its working absolutely fine on my local machine; however after hosting the site on x10hosting.com; this module stops working. The images of slideshow end up getting displayed on the web page one below the other though there is no error displayed on the page. I am not sure what to do. Is the module behavior in anyway dependent on the server or is it possible? Also I am using a free hosting service from www.x10hosting.com since I am still experimenting with Drupal. Please suggest.
Thanks

Problem with slideshow
Hi, I believe that the problem your describing means that JavaScript isn't enabled.
Website design, website promotion and SEO
slideshow
I kept my image directry in
/var/www/html/drupal6/sites/images
Then I need to know how to reference my image folder to slideshow:
1) /var/www/html/drupal6/sites/image
2) /drupal6/sites/images "OR"
3) images/
Which one is correct.
When i use the example code
When i use the example code above:
[slideshow: 2, rotate=6, blend=3, dir=|/frontpage_slideshow/|yes|||||]
A pager also appears, and I can't seem to find using Dev Load where I can change this at the template level please let me know!
In a nutshell, i can't seem to be able to theme the slideshow content by doing a
<?phpprint $node->slideshow-foo
?>
Thanks

Works but how to change text font?
I tried the method of grabbing from a directory. Works OK.
However, how do I tweak the text font into a different font?
TQ
Check the slideshow_creator.inc file
Not sure if this will help but I did locate the pagination (next/prev) code in the "slideshow_creator.inc" file in the module folder. The function is:
function theme_slideshow_creator { }and the actual code in there looks like this:
// This will put the pieces into a given order,// base on which "layout" the user chose.
if (empty($ss['#layout']) or $ss['#layout'] == 'default') {
$layout = array(array('#title', '#main', '#description'), '#previous', '#status', '#next');
}
By manipulating that you may be able to style and move around those arrays/items.
