The following Drupal modules are required:

• Bean
• Field Collection

One or more of the following javascript libraries is required for the slideshow functionality:

   • View Mode - Beans may have various view modes, however the Default mode should work best for nearly all uses.
   • Title - The title of your Bean Slide block.

   • Slideshow plugin - The javascript library to use for slide transitions. Changing the plugin may enable or disable additional settings.
   • Image style - The Drupal core image style to apply to images.
   • Transition duration - The time in milliseconds that it takes for each transition (e.g. fading into the next slide).
   • Timeout - The time in milliseconds that each slide is shown before transitioning to the next slide.
   • Pager - Setting this will provide a control to allow users to manually select slides.
   • Navigation Controls - Setting this will provide the user controls to manually advance slides.
