Hello,

I am a newbie in the Drupal world. I am finding it difficult to follow the installation instructions. Maybe this is because I am not well versed with nodereference.

Can anyone please help me out.

I have cck installed, with nodereference turned on.
But I do not understand whether I should create a new 'content type'?

choose a node type that will have the "field_slider_content" field: Also, I dont understand the noderefernce part.

I tried to look up for documentation on nodereference also. But couldnt find any.

Please help me out...if possible, please give me instructions on within which menu would i find what.

Thanks in advance...

Sure, let me try my best:

1) Create a content type called slider.
2) Add a CCK nodereference field called "field_slider_content" to slider.
3) When you set up this "field_slider_content" field, make sure you tick the types of nodes that can be referenced. If you want story nodes to appear within the slider, make sure that story is ticked.
3) Save the slider node type and go back to your home page.
4) Go to admin/settings/slider and put a tick next to slider and save settings.
4) Go to Create Content -> Slider or /node/add/slider and make a new node of type slider.
5) When making the node, you will see a select box with a list of all the nodes that can be individual slides within the slider. Select those that you want for this slider.
6) Save the node, and you're done.

Node reference is a CCK field. It's part of the CCK drupal project package and must be turned on along with the "content" module on /admin/build/modules.

Thanks a lot Mark...I got it...

I think this post should be named "Slider Installation for dummies" :)
