Block with rotating quotes?

Nimo - June 15, 2009 - 15:54

What is the best solution for adding some kind of jQuery-based slideshow of rotating quotes?

In the header of http://dagen.se there is box which automatically slides through different quotes - how would I do to implement a similar functionality in Drupal 6?

As always, it depends

In a prior site, I found it most convenient to simply paste a handy javascript into the page.tpl file. Another option would be to do the same thing in a block.

There are a couple of Quotes modules, but if you want a purely Drupal solution (and I have not tested this) a CCK-created content type and the Views Slideshow module might be just the thing.

Let us know where you end up.

Views Slideshow indeed

You can easily get what you want with this module. Just form a view that graps the quotes you want and chose "slideshow" as style plugin. Works like a charm.

This might help
