I am trying to find a way to have a major promo image slider. Similar to what's here within Drupal but have the client be able to update by only using the admin tools. http://www.urbangreenmedia.com - This is one I made in drupal although I can't think of a way to allow it to be easily updated by the client. Right now this is just code hardcoded into source mode of the wysiwyg editor. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good way to achieve this effect dynamically?

Hi bcrigler,

There are loads of was to achieve this in Drupal, one of most used ways is to use http://drupal.org/project/views_slideshow.

You could have a content type called 'slideshow image' for your client that has a field for an image file. Then create a views slideshow that shows all the images.

You'll need to be familiar with CCK and Views, but it shouldn't be hard to set up.

You can accomplish this with http://drupal.org/project/views_slideshow. It is a plug in for the views module
It is a very solid and versatile module that works really well right out of the box.
With very little tweaking a display like the one at http://www.urbangreenmedia.com can be easily created.
With some major tweaking, you can set up a display like the one at http://www.one.org.
