Hello,

I have searched the forums and modules but was not successful to find a module that can achieve the following:

I would like for users to be able to upload a number of images with a CCK imagefield and then upon saving the node would show an autogenerated slideshow with these images. The slideshow should look like what the module FANCY SLIDE offers.

Unfortunately, Fancy Slide does not allow the integration of the slide show into a node (see also http://drupal.org/node/577872).

Does anybody have an idea how (i.e. with which modules) a slide show within a node created from CCK imagefield images could be done?

Thanks,
Roger

If I understand correctly, you want tu run slideshow automatically, when user visit a node?

I do not know solution via Drupal, but you can set tu run slideshow after clicking on any image. And with jquery function "trigger" you can simulate click on image. The trigger would be run after whole document is loaded.

Hello Tomas,

Thanks for your message.

The slideshow does not have to run (i.e. swap photos automatically) but should be more static with thumbnails of all CCK imagefields at the bottom row. If one moves the mouse over one of these thumbnails, the larger image should be automatically shown above the thumbnail row. It is something similar like at ebay when a seller uploads several photos of his item and then users see a large photo of the first image and on a column at the right clickable thumbnails of the remaining photos.

This thumbnail / image should be part of the node (i.e. text underneath the images and possibility to comment).

Regards,
Roger

Hi saepl,

Thanks for the links! Yes, ddblock is very close to what I want to achieve. I think it is, however, not possible to integrate with CCK imagecache (out of the box).

I will study the comparison of rotator and slide modules. Thanks.

Cheers,
Roger
