Supersized is a fullscreen background slideshow built using the jQuery library.
More information at BuildInternet Supersized.
This module requires:
- Views
- Views JQFX
- Libraries
Typical usage:
- Create a content type, bg_images, with an image field.
- Create a new view of the 'content' type with an output of 'block'.
- Limited the view to your new custom content type, bg_images.
- Have the view only output the image field.
- Set view to use JQFX as the display mode & configure Supersized options.
- Save your view and enable your block on the page(s) needed.
It is recommended (not necessary) that you setup the view as a block, and then add a region to the bottom of your code for the block to live in. However, it should work in just about any region that isn't set to 'overflow: hidden;'.
Please Note: By default supersized uses a very low (negative) z-index to make sure that the images are indeed in the background. Therefore if your theme (including Garland) uses a full window page wrapper with a background, you will not be able to see your images.
