Hi.

I installed Flex Slider using drupal and it's enabled, but don't understand how to use it. I also have installed Views Slideshows, but don't see Flex Slider anywhere. Do I have to add hooks or do coding?

Please help. I know very little coding, so complete codes would help.

Thanks.

I'm using this with Omega 3.1 but I'm not using Views Slideshow. I'm using it on a multi-value image field of a custom content type. In either case though, you still have to setup an option set for your slideshow(s) by going to Admin > Configuration > Media > flexslider. Then you can use flexslider as the Formatter for that field (either in Views or Manage Display of the content type) and choose the option set. I don't know anything about Views Slideshow though.

Thanks for your help. I got it to work through Views. I wasn't sure if it was necessary to use View Slideshow, which is why I enabled it. I'm also using Omega 3.1. Is there a way to theme it?

Thanks again,

Yes, you can use css to change the styles and if you want to move things around you could copy the flexslider/theme/flexslider-container.tpl.php file to your theme's templates folder and make your changes there. You can go to http://flex.madebymufffin.com/ to read about the options and how they work with the container.

I'll make a note and update the README to be more descriptive on the use of the module. I'll also see about creating some walkthrough examples.
