Seek ideas for linking rotating images to a specific link target using either JW ImageRotator/SWF Tools or Views Slideshow

Posted by webel on March 18, 2009 at 10:15pm

I've recently trialled the JW ImageRotator in SWF Tools, and the amazing Views Slideshow (and I also looked at Coleur Slideshow).

I would like to link the rotating images to a specified target (not just to open up the image, or an Image's node, or the node of a CCK ImageField). Most of my images are handles as CCK ImageFields, however I am happy for this purpose to use a folder of images, if necessary.

The idea is that each image should stand for a given project area, however the image node is not the node of the project, so I need to be able to link to a separate specified project target node.

Glad for suggestions,

Webel

thanks for tip, but the dependencies are broken (I'll report it as an issue for that module, too).
