Description
Hi there,
I am using imagefield/imagecache/filefield successfully in D6.
I am now testing views slideshow with this, to create a block in the sidebar, which cycles though the pics.
This is working great with views_slideshow, to the point where it displays the node where there are more than one image. Instead of just one little thumbnail image, you get for example, 10 little thumbs beneath each other.
Imagefield supports the upload of multiple images in a node, this is a little bit better when having to upload multiple images, but not having to create a new node each time. But in the view slideshow, this is a problem, you'll get multiple images instead of 1.
What can i do about this, or should i stick to the one-image-per-node theory?
Thanks

Multi-value fields are currently not supported. Marking this as postponed and will fix for a later release.
As a temporary solution you can check out this nice method http://raincitystudios.com/blogs-and-pods/hubert/a-simple-ajax-image-gal... It doesn't do automatic cycling but if you don't need that it is a quick solution for a single multi-value node.

I'm not positive that this is something that views_slideshow should handle. The point of this module is to slideshow a listing from views. If you want to slideshow a listing from attachments I would look at something like http://drupal.org/project/galleria or something like that.

Might be nice, actually, to have Views Slideshow work with File views, which might offer another alternative (though no reference to nodes, because of dropping nid from the files table in d6).
It's a larger question, that I've encountered in other types of views than Views Slideshow. Not sure of the best answer at this time.

One of the things I'm hoping to work on soon is to implement field support in breakout hover mode, where you can assign which field(s) goes to the main view and which field(s) go to the breakout mode. This would allow you to uncheck the "group" setting for the multiple image field and have those entries show up as separate rows. That would do what you're describing, I think.
Unfortunately it's not built yet :D
