Hi guys

Is this slideshow, I guess it's a WP plugin, available for Drupal?

It's so beautiful! I would love to implement it.

Hi again

Thanks again for the link to the developers site of cu3er.

However, I don't succeed to embed this on my website. I simply don't know how to start and can't find any step-by-step tutorial (the one on the developers' site app. isn't enough for me).

If someone could tell me exactly how to do this I'm happy to make a Drupal video screencast of this.

Thanks so much!

its pretty easy - but implementation really depends on your desired control level.

For example if you want to be able to modify it through Drupal.

If you do you will need to create a new content type and a view that displays as xml.

if not - you can just embed the script right in page-front.tpl.php

Hi Willhall

Tx! Through views would be really awesome but I 'm happy with your last solutions as well. So let's keep it simple and start with embedding in the page.tpl.php. I'm testing this on http://www.webtvinvlaanderen.be but nothing happens.

So this is what I'm doing:

I've downloaded cu3er,
Using transmit (ftp) I transmitted the cu3er-v0-1 folder to my root folder.
I opened my page template in my Drupal theme folder, and copied the script code (as mentioned in the Embedding documentation on your website) in the head section (step 1 and 2), and the other code in the body section (step3).

I didn't change anything to the slides or transitions because I just wanted to see if the example slides would show up on my website.

So this is my test site: http://www.webtvinvlaanderen.be/

Thank you for your answer. As a video producer I'm happy to make a screencast once it's clear to me how to embed the cu3er in (Drupal) websites.

Warm regards

Els

You might want to check in the scripts you copied to see that the path to the files it is using is correct.

Since Drupal is loading out of index.php, sometimes you need to have a / in front of any files being referenced. For example (not necessarily cu3er specific):

If the script is referencing a file like "banner.swf" and the file banner.swf is located at "cu3er-v0-1/banner.swf", then try changing the script in your template file to be "/cu3er-v0-1/banner.swf" instead of just banner.swf.

Also, if there are any xml files that the swf is reading from to get to the images you may need to look at those paths as well. So if there is an images folder inside of cu3er-v0-1 the xml file might well be referencing those images as just "images/img1.jpg" but you would need that to be the full path from your Drupal root, like "/cu3er-v0-1/images/img1.jpg". Changing the paths in the xml might be necessary as well.

I haven't downloaded and looked at how cu3er is put together but I have been wrapping flash components in modules lately and that seems to be something that usually comes up.

Good luck!
