Modifying Views_Slideshow to slide a pre-set width

Posted by sleepyBeard on October 2, 2012 at 7:29pm

I'm attempting to do something I would expect to be relatively simple simple:

I have the views_slideshow setup with controls, but instead of moving from one whole image to another, I simply want to line the images up and slide them something like 450px left or right at a time regardless of image boundaries.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for modifying this module, or will I have to seek out a different solution?

Thanks.

Are you trying to show more

Are you trying to show more than 1 slide/image? If not, what is the goal of sliding a fixed distance? (views slideshow like most slideshows expects all slides to be the same width).

Yes, I'm trying to have more

Yes, I'm trying to have more than one image displayed at a time. It's a set of 15 images of variable widths, like a filmstrip with different width frames such that moving across them at a set width is almost like moving across one large image.

I have tried playing with jCarousel as well, but as you mentioned, everything seems to expect a set width on slides.

Sounds like you want

Sounds like you want something like http://jqueryui.com/demos/slider/#side-scroll but that would require a custom solution.

Yeah, I think I can honestly

Yeah, I think I can honestly tell the designer that it's not worthwhile to continue perusing now.

Thanks for your help.
