It would be very helpful to tie the functionality of the nodecarousel into views in some way.

This is actually from 5.x-1.x-dev in DRUPAL-5 in the CVS.

Hi Rob,

I tried your patch, the option for views come up at nodecarousel creation but for some reason it doesn't actually do anything with the view... Did you get it working for yourself? Also I'm not quite sure about the jcarousel installation, do I have to download extra stuff from jcarousel homepage? Also if I do can you explain how to add those calls as I'm not a module expert...

Thanks!

This patch is obsolete as of a couple of weeks ago. Please see the Carousel module, which will be the all-in-one module for carousels. It will include:
- jcarousel
- panels_carousel
- views_carousel (this is what makes this patch obsolete)
- nodequeue_carousel (hopefully, if jcfiala and his employer agree)

Hi Wim,

thanks for the reply

Yeah I saw that carousel package is in dev but I'm quite desperate to have an immediate solution, can't wait until it comes out, deadlines...

Also if you have time and patience, can you tell me how to install jcarousel? In it's readme it says that you have to download the jcarousel package itself and in jcarousel module you have to make some calls to the original package or some files of it. Can you tell me how to do that? Or do I need to do it at all? Because I tried nodecarousel and other modules depending on jcarousel as well but I just can't get them to work!

Thanks for your help!

Just install jcarousel and views_carousel. views_carousel already *works*. Then choose the "Carousel" Views output style and you're ready. Those calls are only necessary if you're constructing carousels manually (i.e. in HTML).

Ahaaa!!

That sound cool, thanks.

The only problem I have is I don't find a downloadable views carousel module! I go to the project page but it says no releases yet. Do you have a copy of it? Or know where to download from?

Thanks!!!

Ugh. I need to settle down and spend some time on that, don't I? Sorry... been busy between drupalcon and con crud and stuff.

Hi,

I downloaded the module from cvs but somehow drupal doesn't recognize it. Where should i upload it? Is there a specific folder i have to put it in to or just as per standard?

Thx

It goes in the standard sites/all/modules location, yup.
