Hi,

I'm trying to theme my Views Slideshow so that node titles in the breakout teasers section are concatenated. Appearing beneath embedded video field thumbnails (awesome module and functionality going on between these two modules, btw), which I'm presenting in a grid, the longer titles make up several lines of text and look ugly. I'd like to create a function akin to the function that the Views theme wizard creates for simple list views, so that I can create a template for the breakout teasers, and shorten those long titles.

Any help on what function to use and how to set it up would be appreciated, or ideas for other ways to shorten the titles.

Thanks,
Alex

Excuse me, I meant truncate, not concatenate, in the above message.

Same problem here. When using the 'View type: Slideshow list', *tpl.php files (as created by the Views theme wizard) are disregarded. Is this a bug, or should we theme slideshow views in another way?

(Almost) the same problem for me (and even on D5 + Views1). The tpl.php is not exactly disregarded but views_slideshow is showing only teaser version of the node in Views2 whatever settings are. It is especially annoying now as I can't select a CCK field to display. (In D5 I could pick one). Hm...

I think I'm having the same problem. I made sure that my view was a list view, and then used the theme wizard to generate the tpl and css and data for template.php, but none of it seems to matter. It is all totally disregarded.

In D6 this seems to work. If you still have this issue feel free to reopen.

I am having this problem. I need to create a template for my slideshow view to display image URLs as images. This works with a simple list view, but not a slideshow list.
