Description

Great module... just what we wanted. I know it's not "feature complete" but thought I'd ask if one of the features to come would be enabling the item's so-to-speak parent to be hidden or highlighted. That is to say: in our usage the Rotator will be on the front page above the Teasers, bringing the sticky ones of the current day up to the top by turns, and someone wants to highlight, down in the teasers, which one is currently up there. Hope I've managed to make that comprehensible. Thanks.

Further thought leads me to figure you may not have foreseen that use, and we might be the only ones who would ever want it. If so, I'd instead ask for help in finding out where to insert the appropriate jquery code to accomplish it.

But perhaps in the template override, it could be a setting that you could integrate into your jquery code?

The Views Rotator module just provides a way to display information from a view. It doesn't do any selecting of items.

From reading this it looks like you need to setup some filters and maybe use the node queue module to select what's being viewed.

Does that make sense?

Thanks, no. That wasn't what I meant. Selecting is all taken care of. It's basically an interaction between the Rotator and a view of the same nodes being rotated through: to highlight (in the view below) the one currently active in the rotator.

Knowing a lot more jquery now, I'll may be able to accomplish this myself whenever I get back on that project.
