CU3ER \kju:bər\, an image slider initially conceived to create 3D transitions between slides, turned out to be a convenient and multifunction solution that can be applied in a range of website building areas, from content slider to feature slider and image & banner rotator. Consider using it when you want to grab the user’s attention, and you’ll be delighted by the results!

There are no special requirements for setting it up and running other than a limited knowledge of web authoring:

* Flash Player 9+,
* XML Basics,
* SWFObject (embedding .swf files into web pages),
* Applications for image editing (especially for creating & exporting slides).

Yes i noticed this cu3er is very cool and i was curious if there's not a drupale module yet for this. I did a google search and here I am, agreeing with your post :).

Hi Jahmika,

Do you have a write-up of how you accomplished this in Drupal ?

Thanks!

Yeah I too am looking at this... would be great if there was some kind of views 2 integration. I need to do a little more research into it first though :-)

There's no doubt cu3er is awesome, but I think the license commands attention, mainly:

  • SWF containing CU3ER may not be embedded as part of a template, application, and / or web site where stated template, application, and/or web site is re-sold and / or re-distributed for independent use by third parties, without specific prior written permission.
  • SWFs containing CU3ER may not be embedded in a template, content management system, and / or online web service in a manner where the SWF is replicated and used as a slideshow viewer for photos contributed by more than one party.

I realize it's already widely used in Wordpress and elsewhere. In fact, Themeforest and others unabashedly market templates with cu3er baked in. But considering the intrinsic social functionality of Drupal, and how frequently it's deployed in / as a social networking environment, combined with the impeccably high(er) standards of the Drupal community regarding the licensing issue, writing a module for it appears to create a potential problem. You know what mom said; if you have to ask the question, you probably already know the answer...

I would strongly recommend anyone considering cu3er use to visit this post. It seems Stefan takes this issue very seriously, and the first course of action would best be to contact Stefan regarding Drupal module integration. Better safe than sorry.

My slideshow does not show up in Firefox. It does however, show up using IE7 and Safari...

Here is the code I pasted into my drupal page (I did set the Input format to Full HTML)

................................................................................................................................


<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.issfestival.com/js/swfobject/swfobject.js"></script>


<script type="text/javascript">
		var flashvars = {};
		flashvars.xml = "http://www.issfestival.com/config.xml";
		var attributes = {};
		attributes.wmode = "transparent";
		attributes.id = "slider";
		swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.issfestival.com/cu3er.swf", "cu3er-container", "570", "200", "9", "http://www.issfestival.com/js/swfobject/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, attributes);
</script>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { margin: 5% auto; text-align:center;}
#cu3er-container {width:570px; outline:0;}
-->
</style>


<div id="cu3er-container">
    <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
        <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
    </a>
</div>

JC, did you resolve the cu3er issue you encountered?

Thanks for the input everyone - I saw this implemented on another site and found it fascinating. I understand putting the code for the html portion in a node would work, but I don't understand where I'm supposed to put the JavaScript portion. Any help?

I really feel like I should know what to do with it, but ultimately for the moment I'm just stumped.

Piece maker is an open source version(licensed under MIT) of Cu3er and has a drupal module that is now available. Http://drupal.org/project/piecemaker

Check it out.

Piecemarker is very cool but it's not working anymore (somewhere from drupal 7.35).
