I can´t figure out how I can handle the image slideshow. The views module is installed but I found nothing to config for the slideshow. Must I create a new view?

when I try to import the view template image slideshow:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_human_name() on a non-object in /mnt/webg/c0/84/52862084/htdocs/D7Space/sites/all/modules/views/plugins/export_ui/views_ui.class.php on line 387

Hi Dan,
thanks but not really, because the UI changes don't let you follow the tutorial right. It is a little bit frustrating...

After reading the initial post I dug around and eventually found the file that essentially holds the values for the slideshow. Firstly you should locate the images associated with the slideshow located in Themes-> Metropolis -> Images->Slides. There will be three images in this folder. Copy down the names if need be. Next open "page.tpl.php" in the themes-> Metropolis folder. You should see the following code

...
<img src="<?php print $base_path . $directory; ?>/images/slides/metropolis-1.jpg" width="804" height="375" alt="Metropolis 1"/>
...

To change the images in the slideshow, place new images in Themes-> Metropolis -> Images->Slides and make reference to the names in "page.tpl.php" by replacing metropolis-1.jpg, metropolis-2.jpg, and metropolis-3.jpg in the code. I see no reason as to why you couldn't even duplicate the line to increase the number of photos in the slideshow. I hope this helps. Oh and if the format is wrong in this post I apologize this is my first post on Drupal.org.

Yes, I have found that two. But another, more seriously problem I´m found. The IMCE module don´t work correct with the theme. No buttons in the file browser... So I switch to another theme where the IMCE module works...

thanks, joschy3d

Hi OrthoHQ,

Actually yes you can duplicate line or increase the number of photos in the slide show. You will also need to modify the file Maintenance-page.tpl.php
The code section is start on line 84
and you just need to add the line of code similiar to the that you mention
I modified the file that you said and this one and working correclty.
hope this helps

Regards
