Views Slideshow

Views Slideshow can be used to create a slideshow of any content (not just images) that can appear in a View. Powered by jQuery, it is heavily customizable: you may choose slideshow settings for each View you create.

NEW!!! Must see! Drupaltherapy's Views + Views Slideshow Screencast! (Thanks seaneffel!)

After enabling the module, to create a Views Slideshow, choose "Slideshow" for the "Style" option under "Basic settings." Clicking the gears icon next to "Style" link presents settings that control the slideshow. (In Drupal 5, you only have these as global settings, available at /admin/build/views/views_slideshow. However, you can override them in Drupal 5, by reading the advanced documentation on that page.)

Quick Setup

(For Drupal 6)

1. Install this module and the Views module in your /sites/all/modules directory
2. Enable the module at www.example.com/admin/build/modules
3. Create a new view at admin/build/views/add, choosing fields and filters that select the data you want to include in your slideshow.
4. Set Style to "Slideshow".
5. Select settings for the Slideshow
6. You can now view the slideshow as a page if you enabled the page checkbox on the view or as a block by enabling the block in your Admin/Site Building/Blocks area.

Potential uses

• News item slideshow (such as the title, image and teaser of the last 5 news articles submitted)
• The Last X number of X submitted (images, videos, blog entries, forum posts, comments, testimonials, etc.).
• Rotate any image, based on any filters you can apply in views.
• Hottest new products for any ecommerce drupal site.
• Rotate contact links, share links, etc.
• Heck, you could rotate entire nodes, categories, image galleries, etc. I wouldn't suggest it, but you have that power.
• Its also a great space saver. Places where you had multiple images or multiple items such as RSS feeds or category listings can now be presented in a slideshow.

The possibilities are really endless, as the more ways you can think of to categorize and add to views, the more you can rotate.
