Hi Silvio - thanks for the great module! And it even works in Safari as well - sweet :D
I noticed in the readme that you plan on adding a few features... Add auto transition, and Add optional "next picture" link instead of having to click the picture.
I was wondering if either of these features might be coming up in the future? Is there a development version I could help out with testing on?
I've been trying to make due with CCK Slideshow, since it has those abilities (somewhat), but its other shortcomings made me search for a better solution, and brought me to your fine module :) The only thing holding me back at this point from switching is the auto transitions (previous/next links would be cool, but not quite as important for me).
Anyhow, looking forward to your reply. In any case, please let me know if there's any way that I can help. Thanks!

Hey Keyz,
I'm currently spending most of my time working on Gallerix, feel free to check that out at http://the.failbo.at/gallerix . It's a photo gallery for Drupal with many of the features people have been asking for. Unfortunately, this takes up most of my time, so once I put out an official release, I'll try to go back to this module and add the missing features.

Definitely interested in the auto transition. Subscribing.

Gopher -
In the mean time, have a look at the Views Slideshow module... it has ended up working well for my own needs - might do the trick for you as well. Have a look at it in action on www.firehousekidz.com - I simply "feed" it images with a View that selects the latest 10 photo nodes that are added to the CCK + Views based gallery. In the absence of preloading, I added pre-defined width and height in CSS to a box that surrounds the slideshow so that the area won't collapse as each new image is called and loaded (particularly in Opera, which in my tests never loaded the images until they were called by the javascript).
Hope this helps.

I agree that optional auto transition and a simple GUI similar to that of the original "Slideshow" module are badly needed. Heck, I'd do that myself if I was a programmer!
I've tried Views Slideshow, and think it is complete overkill. I don't see why Drupal sites couldn't remain simple when user needs are simple (We're on the Road to Bloatware).

Sorry guys, completely booked on Gallerix right now.

+1 for auto transition feature
I understand that you're busy right now, but I just wanted to add my 2 cents. I like Views Slideshow, but it doesn't give me the per node display that I am looking for. This module does. Thanks!

Hi folks,
I think I have this working. All I did was open cck_multimage.js in the module folder, and:
1. Change line #22 from:
$(this).click(function() {to:
$(this).load(function() {2. Add a new line between line #27 and #28.
old:
bottom.fadeOut(200);top.fadeOut(200, function(){
new:
bottom.fadeOut(200);top.animate({opacity: 1.0}, 3000);
top.fadeOut(200, function(){
The first step makes it auto-run and the second step "fakes" a pause in-between images. You can play with the variable (3000) in step 2 to increase/decrease the pause.
Good luck!

Just a quick followup: Ignore my previous post. It was definitely a hack and didn't work in IE or Safari. I ended up removing the multimage module and adding the jQuery Cycle plugin to my template manually instead. It was pretty simple!

Would you please share how you did that??
