Looking for a slideshow module like the bbc news web site

rgracia - November 17, 2008 - 16:21

I have been looking for a module that will allow me to do what you can see on this bbc section highlighting the elections, the slideshow is done with fade in/out in the jquery fashion:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/americas/2008/vote_usa_2008/default.stm

I know there are several modules that allow me to create slideshows, but which ones allow for this effect with controls to move forward and pause/play the slideswhow as needed?

Bump. No suggestions?

Isn't there a module that allows to create a gallery by telling it where the images are, and then we can call the gallery inside content the way you can do it with Views [views:vews_name]

Dynamic display block module

Hi,

You can try the dynamic display block module.

For Drupal 6.

With fading and a lot more effects.
A pager to go to the different slides.
Can use a directory as input for the images.

You can see a demo at ddblock.myalbums.biz
