Description
Hi,
I appreciate some help here... Can someone possibly tell me how can setup and run this NodeCarousel step by step (like a handbook)?
I believe the readme is too technical (in depth). I'm trying to get a series node displayed in a carousel (something like this http://www.bosticks.com/). So far, I've not come close to the example at all...
Anybody care to explain what I should do?

#1
A handbook page or other documentation is planned - but I've been some five kinds of busy lately, sorry. Working on one!
#2
I am having the same problem and a handbook would help.
So far I've only been able to get the node titles (with a link to the associated node) to appear in the block. No images, no descriptions, no other fields.

If you want other nodes elements you must print them yourself
Probably a nicer way of doing this but I copied everything from this function
function theme_nodecarousel_nodePasted it into my theme's (clean) template and changed "theme" to "clean" (my theme's name) giving
function clean_nodecarousel_nodeThen added this line to print the thumbnail
$content .= '<div class="node-carousel-image"><img src="'. $node->images['thumbnail'] .'" alt="'. $node->title . '" /></div>';If you want tags or comments or any other piece of node you must add it yourself
Now I'm just trying to get it looking nice with CSS!
