Thanks for the module.
Please tell me: how can I set the current node as the first slide?
I presume a Views Argument (or Contextual Filter) would be the solution, but I don't know what that would look like. The closest thing I've found is 'Slidenum' in another Issue, but that wasn't for this exact same module (Views Slideshow: Dynamic Display Block) or Drupal 7.

To clarify: I want the 'Views Slideshow: Dynamic Display Block' to show a number of slides drawn from different nodes - but with the current node first.

Thanks.

You should be able to place ?slidenum=[xxx] behind the URL to the slideshow

e.g. node/10?slidenum=2, if node/10 contains your slideshow.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Thank-you very much for that - and for the module - I think that's most of the solution... I can now determine the slide number to be shown when landing on a page with a Dynamic Display Block... by inserting "?slidenum=x" in the Views link field in the initial (thumbnail view) page.

Now though, in Views, I need to work out how to make "x" correspond to the thumbnail being clicked and the sort order number of the slide on the ddblock page. I suppose I could just create a new field for that content type, which is just a number, and use that both in the slidenum link on the initial page and as sort order in the ddblock. But that's Views I need to investigate.

Thanks again.
