Drupal 7 version

There will be a drupal 7 version of this module.

Is there any time schedule for releasing a D7 version?

I'd be really interested in that too.

No, don't have a timeschedule when the drupal 7 version will be ready.

You guys can always try Mediafront for Drupal 7. I built functionality to have it as a slideshow for images much like this module, but with the addition of Audio and Video including YouTube and Vimeo. It is worth a shot. ;)

Thanks,

Travis.

Oh... disregard that. I didn't see that ppblaauw has a D7 version in the works. My apologies for the shameless promotion. :)

Some updates on porting to drupal 7.

The port is working on my testserver.
Its also used by one site: http://www.snowbrite.co.uk/

Why it is not released yet?

Because I am working on some improvements of the module.
Eliminating the preprocess functions (adding mapping of fields).
Using themed views data instead of raw data, so all views functionality is available.
Adding scrollable pager functionality.
Adding an extra previous next pager.
Automatic discovery of installed slideshow themes.
Writing documentation.

It takes a little longer because of these additional improvements.
Hope the waiting is worth it.

Hopefully can release this version before end of Jan 2011.

Great Job! Looking forward to the release!

This is the only module holding me up from an upgrade to D7...so the faster the better for me. Although I will appreciate the improvements, perhaps some of these new features can wait for future releases.

Can you attach a patch to the cvs head meanwhile?

maybe an unnofficial, no strings release!?

can then carry on developing and update with latest version, site not live yet

snowbrite version looks great, just what i need

Drupal 7 version of the Dynamic display block module and slideshow themes for drupal 7 version can be downloaded from http://ddblock.myalbums.biz/download.

Will release later on Drupal.org

I got the ddblock running on D7 here http://www.crystalvoyages.co.uk/boat.html, need to style and format yet though so looks how i want.

Is the template used on http://www.snowbrite.co.uk/ available for download for D7?

The themes on this site http://themes.myalbums.biz/theme, are any compatible with D7?

One issue i have noticed, not a biggy, is that if you try and delete or edit a ddblock when in Structure > Dynamic Display Block it just takes you to the main Configuration page, where you cannot do either. Also, when on Structure > Dynamic Display Block area, if you click Configure Block it takes you to the Blocks page, but not direct to the relevant block, you have to scroll to find that and click Configure again.

Might only be issues with my installation, but thought i'd let you know.

#21
The template used on www.snowbrite.co.uk is a customization made for a client.

There are no themes ported yet to the drupal 7 version. When you need a theme ported you can contact me on my contact form, so I can give priority porting the requested theme to drupal 7.

The wrong redirects is a bug, was in drupal 6 config now structure and some redirects remained.
Will post a new module soon

excellent, great work

I would just like to be able to display thumbnails of the image to use as pagers, instead of just prev/next. I am using the standard D7 templates you had alongside the D7 download of this module on your site, have tried each one but they don't offer the option to have thumbnails as pagers.

Do you know how I might go about this?

#23 The slideshow themes upright40p, upright50p and upright60p have images in the pager.
You will need to map an image field to the pager_image template variable in the mappings setting.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Thank you so much for this!!

I've got this setup now on a site, and have a customized version of upright40p. I'm having an issue with the images for the pager. Right now, it shows the images below horizontally. BUT, there's a black box that moves vertically as it cycles through.

Any ideas on what I messed up?

You can see what I mean here:

Thanks again!

#25 Looks like each pageritem has 3 times a <a href="#" title="navigate to topic" class="pager-link"></a>
Probably you have set: link to the node in the image field in the view.
You could add the image field again in the view fields and give other settings than for the image in the slide (e.g. not using the link to the node, not using all the extra markup) and than map this field to the pager-item-image

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Thank you so much! You are my hero!!
