Description

I'm currently rebuilding my photography business website into Drupal and am wanting to use the Slider module, but on the front page of the installation as there will be no other items on the front page, I'll be relying on the Slider to contain all the business information pages.

I understand that there could be issues with two Slider occurrences on the same page but my feature request would be that it could be allowed IF the "number of posts on main page" on the Post Settings page were set to "1". Is this possible? Or is it to become possible in v2.0?

If not, I'd be happy to edit the module to override this function completely at my own risk... but as I'm quite new to Drupal and not a software developer (though I was many years ago), could you e-mail me with a clue as to where I need to be looking in the module to make any changes?

As I say, entirely at my own risk.

Thanks

Michael

I just did this by hacking the module - change line 55 of slider.module to read

if(TRUE) {

This is very very very very hacky, but works ;)

Thanks for that, it does just what I need it to do now. All I need is a single slider in the whole site just describing my photography business, now I can do that.
