I am using this excellent module at http://stanislausbandra.in

Is there any way for users to manually control the slideshow like in cck slideshow which I have used http://stanislausbandra.in/stanschool/node/270 or in cck multiimage which uses an arrow to go forward and backwards

Thank You

I would also be interested in this.

Thanks!

Also interested in this. From digging around a little bit.. I think its possible to override the theme function theme_views_slideshow_div_js() then you could add in a onclick event and call views_slideshow_switch() from the js lib. Just a guess. If I have to go this route I'll update the issue.

I got the functionality I required with the diaporama module http://drupal.org/project/diaporama

However views slideshow is much easier to work with. Hence i would like to see manually control through forward-pause/start-back buttons as well as the ability to add captions to individual images. Daiporama does all of this.

Of course the easiest option is to just embed a picasa web albums into a drupal node as a slide show

This will be much appreciated. While I could use other slideshow modules, this is the only one I've found that supports displaying any content besides just images.

+1 for adding this manual functionality. Would be really helpful.

I'll check out diaporama though.

I also agree that this functionality (plus captions) would be great.

In drupal v6, pausing, playing, and forwarding to the next image can be done in the theming for your slideshow view. I assume the same functionality is available for the dv5 version.

Create a template file from the views-slideshow.tpl.php template to start.
Add a JS script with some jquery to call the functions that are built into the slideshow module.
Add your controllers and style them as you wish.
These were the 3 functions I found to use within my template...
views_slideshow_switch("1",views_slideshow_next_div("1"));
views_slideshow_resume("1");
views_slideshow_pause("1");

Do you have an example of this?

Thank you,

An example would be really great. I feel like I've got a good handle on CSS and even some basic tpl.php modifications but I'm at a total loss when it comes to Java scripts.

Much appreciated!

I'd also like to see an example of pelicani's implmentation, if possible. Anyone else have example code they are willing to post?
