Well I absolutely love this module. I am seeing some extreme potential as to what I can do with this.

Nonetheless, I tend to push things beyond there limits and this may be one of those times. I am curious if I can get the mini panel to carousel through a view. I have a set of nodes in a view (about 3-5 nodes) that I would love to be able to add to the carousel. The only way i have figure out how to create the carousel is by adding each node as a different block. However, that does not allow it to dynamically change based on changes in content that will move in and out of that view.

I guess what i'm asking is how would I add a view to the mini panel to show each node in the view to "carousel" through them?

That looks great, my concern is the ETA. When is this module supposed to be finished? Or is there a "semi" working version I can grab?

My client needs it asap as usual.

Actually I have a question about the Carousel Views. I gave it a shot, but i'm confused as to how to get it to work. I've got about 3 nodes (currently) that have YouTube videos on them. I can' seemingly get it to work, and I don't know what to do to get it to work. I just want one video at a time in the view.

If you could please advise. Thank you.

There's no ETA, but you can use the code from CVS. It should work pretty well. One client is using it.

The "nodes per page" setting is used to set the number of simultaneously displayed items in the carousel.

Firstly, great thanks for your consistent effort.
Here's my comment :

1. Not working properly with block.
2. "nodes per page" setting not doing as you said it would do. whatever I do, I only keep 2 simultaneously display.
3. The display is not proper. The container width is small and height is tall. Tried IE7 and tango, looks better but not presentable. Need to hack on the CSS ! Default css expand height while tango or IE7 cut it. Which css class or id responsible for this this? Firebugs not a big help here ...

"nodes per page" setting or "nodes per block" the TOTAL items should be display.
NOT number of simultaneously displayed items in the carousel.

it keep showing only 2 items. It's defined by 'visible' below. But not cool as I have to hard coded. I may use different number for other site which share the same codebase.


          'settings' => array(
            'animation' => 750, // Animation speed.
            'auto' => 0,  // Autoscroll.
            'easing' => 'QuartEaseOut',
            'scroll' => 4, // How many to scroll. SO NOW I CHANGED TO 4
            'size' => $total,
            'vertical' => FALSE, // Direction. (horizontal / vertical)
            'visible' => 4, // Visible items. SO NOW I CHANGED TO 4
            'wrap' => NULL, // Wrap style.
          ),

oppsss ... it's a themeable function. So, it can be overiden in template.php for different sites (which uses different theme). But not sure if I should put the whole function MYTHEME_views_view_carousel($view, $nodes, $type) if I simply want to change the 'visible'. Only taking $settings = array( ... not work.
