Hi all
I have built a new content type using CCK, and placed a multi value imagefield on it.
On the node, I'd like to have a slideshow of images, but I haven't understood how can I do that.

I saw jcarousel, thickbox and lightbox2, but haven't managed to have them working.

Any idea on what kind of module can I use, example, documentation?

Thanks

lightbox and such as display options made available on nodes or teasers by using the display fields tab in administer -> content types

another module which comes to mind worth investigating is the views_slideshow.module

Might be worth taking a look at http://drupal.org/node/418616

I think a lot of it comes down to how you want the slideshow to display the images... the node suggested in the previous comment is a great starting point though.

Me personally, I like Views Rotator. It allows CCK images to be placed within a view, then a panel pane can be created to display within a panel. PERFECT for home page image slide transitions! The great thing about Views Rotator though, it isn't limited to images. It can be used to "slideshow" anything that can be pulled into a view.

I have a great example up on buymyasphalt.com showing the image of various posts along with the title of the post. If only that module had been around back in 2007, it would have made my life a lot easier :)

The only downside to Views Rotator I see... it seems to be seasonally maintained... I use it, love it, haven't had any problems with it but haven't seen any updates to it in quite some time... I'm hoping (crossing fingers) that it gets ported to D7...

With the dynamic display block module you can create this functionality

Have a look at the (howto/tutorial) How to create an Advanced slideshow with multiple imagefield images in a node

When you have no experience with the dynamic display block module you can have a look at the
demo site, other tutorials or the video tutorial first.

Also have a look at our working examples and sites using dynamic display block module showcase page.

Hope this helps you further to make this work or get some ideas from the tutorial.

If you can not make it work or have more question, please make an issue in the issue queue of the module so I can help you better.
