guys,

i rewritten the module (many parts of it):

* there is no slideshow node type anymore
* there is no settings anymore
* it doesnt look for atached files anymore
* it doesnt have and .install files

features:
* i implemented the slide show as a filter. you can use it in any node using (in the node's body)
[slideshow:VERSION,ROTATE_SPEED,|IMAGE_URL|LINK|TITLE|DESCRIPTION|,|IMAGE_URL|LINK|TITLE|DESCRIPTION|]
* i added a auto rotation.
* use css to format the style
* nodes can have more than one slideshow
* version control: if someone invent a new way to filter, with new parameters, old slideshows will work

to-do festures and know issues:
* add fade in/out (cross browser)
* multiple slideshows in the same node has some problems if javascript is off (easy to correct)
* image size is not fixed (if two images have diferent dimensions, the slideshow grows and reduces)
* documentation still incomplete
* not well tested (may have other bugs)

i think that way gives more freedom to drupalers. comments apreciated.

regards,

massa

ps: again how to use this module:
[slideshow:1,4,|http://drupal.org/drupal.png|drupal.org|Drupal|The ultimate CMS. Download it now!|,|/files/images/mysql.gif|http://www.mysql.com|MySQL|Free and reliable SQL server and client.|]

Ah, okay? And what do you expect me to do? And by the way, the filter is too complicated for clueless users.

hey Konstantin,

calm down and think: if the filter is too complicated to be used, lets work on it! my documentation is not good and i know (i dont write modules/module mods for publish, but i use myself)

if you see the new features: dont need a specific node type, auto rotate, can be used anywhere and with any image (from other sites also), you will find some cool things that can be added.

i dont want to create a new module that have the same objective! its a wast of time and energy.

best regards,

massa

Well, I think that's too late. You have already done that.

Let me get that clear: I am not opposed to introducing new features into slideshow.module. But I need patches that add the functionality, not entire module files that do something completely different. If you provide a patch that adds the functionality you suggest rather than *replaces* the functionality what it does now, I'm fine with it. I'll review it, probably make some changes or criticize something and commit it to this module once I think it's okay. All that can be read in README.txt as well.

If you don't know what "patching" means, please read that: http://drupal.org/node/22568

Konstantin,

jezz! ok ok, you won. just forget about it ok?
as long i think it adds good new stuff, i will, someday, when i have some time, publish as a new YET ANOTHER SLIDESHOW module. whada waste. well, but not now...

i m really sorry coz you aparently even tested to see if you like. you are linked to your creation instead its functionality. (it could be used as drupal 4.8/5.0 maybe...)
well. sorry to bother you anyway. you can close the topic.

best regards,

massa
