Views + Views Slideshow Screencast
- Pharmacology:
Here is a fast screencast on creating slideshows using the Views and Views Slideshow modules.
Views Slideshow provides a new display style to any view called "slideshow". It uses jQuery to display screens of content on a rotating basis. Slideshows can be text, photo, video, or any sort of node, comment, or user. Users can even pause the slideshow just by hovering the mouse over the slideshow area.
To make the best use of this screencast it would be awesome to have some prior exposure to the Views module for Drupal 6. You should also have working knowledge of Drupal including the installation of contributed modules.

Great screencast! I have
Great screencast! I have seen a couple other videos on views, but none were as simple and straight forward as this one. Great job and happy December.
Your tutorials are great.
Your tutorials are great. Before seeing this I thought views was just a useless module, but now I know better. I managed to add views slideshow: imageflow and got a cool gallery.
Great stuff. Very nice
Great stuff. Very nice explanation and covered most of the things one would like to do.
But i also have a question: i have 2 - 3 days events (like conferences) and i am trying to display the date as : December 2 - 4th, 2009 instead of "December 2nd, 2009 - December 4th, 2009 " which is the best i could do so far.
If anyone has any idea how to achieve this, please let me know.
I'm glad I found your site.

Great screencast to short-cut
Great screencast to short-cut the learning curve for Drupal-newbies like myself! However, I am struggling to get a slideshow block View setup using image nodes created by the Image module.
Ultimately, I want to have the image slideshow embedded in my home page content. I can get it working for a View as a Gallery Page by itself. Looks very nice. But I can't get the block view working. Since I can't pass the tid/2 gallery url to a block, do I have to make that happen with php?
How does a block view know where to get the images from?
Thanks,
Marshall

Dude, you ROCK! I have been trying to get a slider going for awhile now. There's some good modules out there, especially Dynamic Display Block... but man, they're SO difficult to config. I didn't even try this one because, honestly, Views is a major pain in the a!! to me.
But you made it so simple. I think views isn't really as difficult as most think, but the big problem is that there isn't good, simple, down-to-earth docs on it. If tutorials were made like yours, Post Traumatic Views Syndrome, as someone mentioned, would happen so often!
Thanks a million, Sean!!!

Hi,
Is there any way to create a reoccurring event? So I don't have to create a new event for something that happens every week at the same time.
The video was magic for me getting this calendar up and running. Please keep 'em coming! Thanks.
There is a module included
There is a module included with the Date bundle that allows you to set repeating dates in one operation. You will have to enable it from your modules list. There is good documentation on the Date project page on Drupal.org.
First rate! Thanks.

Turns out I am missing something somewhere.
No matter what I change the delay and transition speed to, it seems to take the same amount of time... which is a bit too fast for me. Is this indicative of some common mistake people make?

Hi Sean Thanks for this
Hi Sean Thanks for this awesome tutorial.
I want similar kinds of slideshows but not of different nodes.
I want it on cck fields of a same node, is it possible?
I've a content type project and it has project_images field where we can have multiple images and another field is case study.
now i want slide show on images and case studies of a particular node.

Superb tutorial there. Every time I watch one of your videos I feel reassured that I made the correct decision by selecting Drupal.
I'm going to use this for my site www.ishigaki-japan.com (after I've finished the translation to Japanese that is).
Keep the quality tutorials coming! Extremely helpful and professional.
Thanks,

Wow Sean, another great
Wow Sean, another great tutorial! I'm not new to Drupal, but I am to Drupal 6 and Views2. Today I needed to get a calendar working which is how I found the first video of yours here. It was outstanding, clear, and professional! I had the calendar working in minutes. And for fun I thought I'd watch another one and chose this, Views Slideshow. Wow...not only have I now learned a very useful way to present info, but I have a much better grasp of using Views which I see as a key to building great Drupal sites.
Your command of Drupal and excellent videos have really helped me a LOT! Thank you, Sean!
is it possible to add
is it possible to add multipul views into one slide show? it starts to get uglier the more slideshows you have on your site, if i could just get one that would randomly rotate say recent blog posts, forum topics, comments, etc... that would be awesome.. is this possible?
If you do not filter your
If you do not filter your view by content type then you can certainly get blogs, stories and pages into your slideshow. I would even recommend that you create a new taxonomy term called "slideshow" and create a view that filters out anything not tagged with that term - that way you can control on a node per node level of what items appear in your slideshow regardless of their content type.
How's that for flexibility?

I'm using SlideShow to, in combination with ImageFlow. Mine problem is, ImageFlow allows just images to be slided, but this example did it together with a text!
See hier: http://www.advomatic.com/ (Featured Work presentation).
How can they do it? Imageflow slide with picture and text?
Have you idea?

Thank you for this screencast. I fast-forwarded a bit, but especially your last comments about ImageCache working well with views slideshow are very useful to me. I will try it out soon.

Hi Sean Thanks for the great
Hi Sean
Thanks for the great screen cast, it has got me up and running with both views and views slideshow.
Following on from your comments at the end I have managed to use imagecache and taxonomy to create a view that has all the images tagged with a certain term resized and cropped to the same size and displayed in a page page view as a slideshow.
Now I am having trouble implementing this. What I would really like is to have a normal page, with a title and some text, and have my views slideshow displayed as an image on this page.
Any chance of some pointers on how to achieve this.
Cheers
Phil
