There is a single hook necessary to implement an additional slideshow skin.

Drupal 7:

/**
* Implements hook_views_slideshow_skin_info().
*/
function mymodule_views_slideshow_skin_info() {
  return array(
    'pager_right' => array(
      'name' => t('Pager Right'),
      'class' => 'pager-right mymodule-slideshow', //You may chain multiple classes.
      'module' => 'mymodule',
      'path' => 'css',
      'stylesheets' => array(
        'mymodule_slideshow.css', // General styles to apply to all your skins.
        'mymodule_skin_pager_right.css', // Styles specific to the selected skin.
      ),
    ),
  );
}

Hi

Where to find an example of an starting skin or a module with skins?

Thank

Julian Mancera

Wrong example

The example is wrong, the correct one is this way:

function your_module_views_slideshow_skin_info() {
return array(
   'skin_name' => array(
     'name' => t('Name'),
     'class' => 'skin-class',
     'module' => 'your_module',
     'path' => 'skins',
     'stylesheets' => array('skin.css')
   ),
);
}

So, I'm wondering if your example can help me.. But I don't know how test it... I don't know where put the function ... Please, help me :)
