So thanks to Mike Herchel's awesome talk at drupalcon , i'm trying to improve the UX for my installation of views slideshow & views draggable.
My end users (God bless them) are comfortable with the basics of drupal, but the views configuration screen scares the pants off of most of them. What I am wanting is:
When a logged in admin sees a standard views slideshow on a page, I want an edit button for that slideshow view to show up. In that edit, ideally it would be a dropdown or a tab with the options for jquery cycle showing on it. This would allow my users to easily control transition effects, speed, etc.
The other killer challenge is that i'm doing my slideshows based off of a contextual filter/taxonomy. So if its tagged "news", it would show in the news slideshow. Problem is I want the "news" slideshow to transition one way, and the "people" slideshow to transition another way.
Ideally i'd like this option to be in a contextual filter, so they could hover over the slide and select "change slideshow settings".
Anyone know of anything that can do this out of the box?
