Create a view just like the Advomatic example

Unfortunately, I had to hack the ImageFlow plugin to be able to achieve that.

 // HACK at line 512 of imageflow.js:
// It will display the portfolio item's description in the breakout on the right.
$('#slideshow-breakout').html(Drupal.settings.slideshow['slideshow-' + (imageID + 1)]); 

You would also need to send the HTML you want, such as titles/links/teasers, in the Drupal.settings.slideshow[], and create a 'breakout' div for the text, which would be at #slideshow-breakout.

Hope that's useful; if not, bug me and I can write a tutorial. Though I'd like to create a more generic solution at some point.

Hello, I'm trying to replicate the same functionality, but getting no where...

On line 512 of the imageflow.js I only got {

		/* Set scrollbar slider to new position */
		if (thisObject.MouseDrag.busy === false)
		{  >>>------- line 512 -------<<<
			this.newSliderX = (imageID * thisObject.scrollbarWidth) / (thisObject.max-1) - thisObject.MouseDrag.newX;
			thisObject.sliderDiv.style.marginLeft = (thisObject.newSliderX - thisObject.sliderWidth) + 'px';
		}

So I think I might be placing the code in the wrong line.

Also I'm having some difficulty even displaying the information. Don't quite get this line:

You would also need to send the HTML you want, such as titles/links/teasers, in the Drupal.settings.slideshow[], and create a 'breakout' div for the text, which would be at #slideshow-breakout.

Do I need to create a MY_THEME-views-slideshow-imageflow.tpl.php and make some changes? I've tried adding a <?php print $rows['field_body']->content; ?>, but that didn't work.

So while we wait for a more generic solution, I'm "bugging" you to please right a tutorial :-P

Thank you very much for this module!

subscribing. kinda strange to link to a demo that doesn't really work that way out of the box - but i'm sure it got us all thrilled ;)

I tried again to make this work...
From what I understand, the dynamic content of #slideshow-breakout won't come from view, it would have to be written in script.js for example. Is this right?

I thought this would be acomplished by assigning a field in the view for the caption content, but after I analized the advomatic example I'm guessing this isn't so.

Another problem I came across was the slideshow would not load, when I changed it to use imageflow.js insted of imageflow.packed.js and so I wasn't able to add the code to line 512.

This probably would have to be something that Views Slideshow supports and then Views Slideshow: ImageFlow takes advantage of.

Subscribing - ditto asak!

Really aaron, thanks very much for this module. Looks amazing.

I've been scratching my head trying to get the Advomatic type functionality using views attachments and arguments but - while very instructive - I ain't been getting that far, at all.

Would really be amazing to be able to display node textual content as you have done on the Advomatic example.

Hi aaron,

I try to follow your instructions, but I'm not be able to achieve that.
Can you explain precisely what we are supposed to do, please ?

Actually it wouldn't be too difficult to pull content from a view. Using hook_views_pre_render() you could look at $view->result and add your custom content to Drupal.settings that way.
I'm going to try this in the next few days. I'll share my results.

Update: So the project i was referring to got canned. Sorry people.

Hello dear Aaron Hello drupaler,
At first thanks Aaron for the good job that you do for us :)

I found this modul and read the open issues about imageflow and advomatic homepage on your website. I found it looks really nice.
So i tried it out.

And immediately I run in problems :

my first question is ,links the picture from image flow only to the original image or to the content?
My imageflow links only to the orginal image !

To fix this I replace the code in your modul( views_slideshow_imageflow.theme.inc) on line 21-to-32 with the following code

     preg_match('/href=\"(.*)\"/Uis', $item, $matches_link);
     $image_links=$matches_link[1];
     $url = $base_url.$image_links;

now the pictures links to the content.
Did I run with tis in problems that I can't see?

The second Question is, I will use the imageflow on sites like:
function mytheme_preprocess_page(&$vars, $hook) {}

at first I created a views named myviews to test it :
function mytheme_preprocess_views_slideshow__myviews(&$vars) {code from imageflow modul}
and it works really nice.
But if I created a views like for example named:
mytheme_preprocess_views_view__myviews(&$vars) {}
it does not work.

And I get the error with foreach, which comes from the variable $raws.
So I found out that on
function mytheme_preprocess_views_slideshow__myviews(&$vars) {}
the raws variable is an array and on
mytheme_preprocess_views_view__myviews(&$vars) {}
the raws variable is an string.

Can you teach me which content of your slideshow module I have to copy to my template file to get it working.

Third question is, it is possible to get the imgeflow working on a site like
mytheme_preprocess_page(&$vars, $hook) {}
and printing there out dynamic content from views.

I now many letters but I hope that you and other drupaler have a look on my issues.

I thank for all comments.
