Probably not a very commonly used situation, but I would love to be able to combine two different image fields for one slideshow in a ssp view. I tried adding both fields in my view, but right now it seems that the module just finds the first field and stops after that.

I had a very specific use case scenario so I did a bad thing and just hacked up the ssp_views.module directly for my specific fields :P

As you can see below, the slideshow shows my floorplans images first, then it shows my generic images field next. I don't know if this will help you or not, but it did what I needed in a pinch.


 $result = $views->result;
  $images = array();
  $nodes_seen = array();
  foreach($result as $node) { 
    $node = node_load($node->nid);
    if($node->field_listing_floorplans['0']) {
 
   foreach ($node->field_listing_floorplans as $image) {
        $src = $base_path.$image['filepath'];
        $description = $image['data']['description'];
        $desc_alt = $image['data']['title'];
        $title = $image['data']['alt'];
        $thumbnail = ssp_imagecache_generate('ssp_thumbnail', $image['filepath'], TRUE);
        $largepic = ssp_imagecache_generate('ssp_large', $image['filepath'], TRUE);
        $slidepic = ssp_imagecache_generate('ssp_medium', $image['filepath'], TRUE);
        if(is_array(file_validate_is_image($image))) {
            print '<img src="'. $slidepic .'" fs="'.$largepic. '" title="'. $title .'" caption="'. $desc_alt .'" link="" target="_blank" pause="" tn="'.$thumbnail .'" vidpreview="" />' . "\n";
        }      
    $nodes_seen[] = $node->nid;
    }
    }
    foreach ($node->field_cimages as $image) {
        $src = $base_path.$image['filepath'];
        $description = $image['data']['description'];
        $desc_alt = $image['data']['title'];
        $title = $image['data']['alt'];
        $thumbnail = ssp_imagecache_generate('ssp_thumbnail', $image['filepath'], TRUE);
        $largepic = ssp_imagecache_generate('ssp_large', $image['filepath'], TRUE);
        $slidepic = ssp_imagecache_generate('ssp_medium', $image['filepath'], TRUE);
        if(is_array(file_validate_is_image($image))) {
            print '<img src="'. $slidepic .'" fs="'.$largepic. '" title="'. $title .'" caption="'. $desc_alt .'" link="" target="_blank" pause="" tn="'.$thumbnail .'" vidpreview="" />' . "\n";

        }
     $nodes_seen[] = $node->nid;   
    }

You shouldnt need to hack the ssp_views.module

You can override its theme function.

Yeah, good point. That function is easily overriden in template.php
