Hi All,

My Drupal skills are a bit rusty, I need some helpful suggestions to accomplish the following two tasks...

1. I need a sexy (jQuery or other) carousel that can accommodate a short written blurb to go along with a photo. Ideally the blurb and photo are managed through the back-end. If should also link to content. Here's an example of what I am looking to do. http://iava.org/
(I suppose it could be simpler to use an image rotator that can link and put all text into the image.)

2. I need to have a block that captures an email and a user selectable drop category. This will be saved preferably for later mailings and minimally needs to be aggregated some how into a list. The list should be downloadable and viewable by an admin only. (I'm thinking this can be done in CCK and Views... Perhaps there is a module already built that can do this?)

Thanks for your suggestions.

For 1 you could use the view slideshow module plus theming.

For part 1. i'd definitely recommend using views slideshow and putting the text on the images prior to upload. An excellent explanation on how to achieve this is here:

I've just worked through the steps and worked a dream.

I rediscovered the webforms module for the second part of my question, I think that will take care of it.

There's always a way.
