Does Views Slideshow support the Image module? I've tried to make a view selecting image nodes, but can not find any field to select the image.
Thanks for a very nice module!

chadcross commentedI just started using this so I am not an expert but I believe it does support the image module. That is what I am using in my view.
In my view I just add the field: Banner Image(field_banner_image). This field was defined in my CCK type that I created for banner images.
Hope that helps.

roald commentedThen you are using CCK and Imagefield, right? I want to use the images stored as nodes within the Image module.
Comment #3
akahn commentedroald, as long as you can create a View that lists your Image nodes, you should be able to set the display for that View to be a Slideshow. Can you get a simple listing of your Image nodes?

metabits commentedI have the same problem.
I am new to views and to views slideshow, but as far as I see, there is no way to set images nodes in filters and/or in fields. They simply don't get listed. And therefore no way to make a view list of them.
Am I missing something or is this feature with images nodes still not working?
I was very excited to find out how views and views slideshow work and I hope to be able to handle my photos with them...
Thanks!

akahn commentedpsc, this doesn't have to do with Views Slideshow. Views Slideshow can present any data that you can get output by Views as a slideshow. Like I said above, if you can create a listing of images using Views, you should be able to set that View to display as a slideshow. If you can't create a View that displays your images, you're doing something wrong, and it doesn't have to do with this module.

momo18 commentedShawn Effel has a very nice tutorial titled "Views + Views Slideshow Screencast" at drupaltheraphy.com, which covers exactly this subject, however I'm having a similar problem because I don't want a slideshow based on "thumbnails" which are generated by the image module. Instead I want to create a slideshow that's based on the "original" image size I uploaded through the image module.
The problem I'm having is that I can't select any "field" options for the view, because the view is based on a view of type "slideshow" and (image) field options are not presented when that's selected. That's when the Filter I'm required to use uses the Taxonomy: Term ID which was generated by the Image module.
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on ways of getting around this or if there is something I overlooked?

mths commentedI can't get the 'breakout' option working with a picture/thumbnail. How do I do this? I set up views with a slideshow, mode: 'Thumbnail hover'. What kind of content do i need to get the thumbnail? I can now only hover the title or I can include a huge picture from one of the content fields. I want to have the thumbnail it uses for teasers too.

dragonwize commentedAs akahn explained views_slideshow can display most any data display by views. Image module is just an image content node so it should work fine. If it does work properly it is most likely something image module is doing to change out it works with views.
To do thumbnails you can do several options most of which you need to select in your content type display settings or your field options. The imagecache module is a great compliment to generate your thumbnails if you need them.

Fayna commentedYou can only do those things if you download the latest dev version of the Image module for 6.x.

HS commentedYup no way to display full images uploaded via image.module in views. You can pull the full post with title teaser and comment links but not the uploaded image.
