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.

Sean,
I really enjoyed this piece. I'm going to come back and look at the rest of your screencasts. I appreciated several things that I don't often see - firstly, you didn't move your mouse around randomly while you were talking. I really appreciate that. Secondly you took the time to explain what you needed to - giving background that made it much clearer than what I usually see.
Thanks,

Sean, excellent job. I've been wondering how to do this in drupal since first seeing this technique on some of my favorite wordpress sites i.e revolution themes, I even installed WP on one site just because of it. Will have to give it a go with future drupal installs from here on out. Anyway to throw up a semitransparent teaser block on top of it? (see Revolution's corporate theme) keep up the good work. I've been watching your stuff for almost a year and have just started getting over the big hump in the learning curve :)

Great tutorial, got it up and
Great tutorial, got it up and running. I tried creating a video gallery using the Views module, but it seems as though the Jquery module won't do it's magic. Have you had any luck creating a video gallery with the Views module?
Here's what I did:
1- create new view called video_gallery
2- make it a page
2- filter on content type, video
3- select the field called filefield
4- give it a url (http://www.alextestsite.com/video)
5- save
When going to the video gallery page it simply shows the video file icon, like Jquery never existed.
Any help would be appreciated.

In your View, inside the
In your View, inside the Fields box, what does it say next to the name of your filefield? If it's "Generic files", then there's your problem. Click the name, and then change the Format to whatever works for displaying videos.
Alex, If I were making a
Alex,
If I were making a video gallery then I would make a content type with two extra fields, one for a media file (to be played back with jquery_media like in my screencast) and another for storing an image thumbnail (like with imagefield and imagecache, like another screencast I have). To make the gallery I would make a view of these nodes and display the thumbnail field on the view. To play the video, I would simply load the node by itself.
Hope this gives you a starting point.

Sean,
Thanks for your work.
I am displaying my products(pictures) from ubercart for slideshow in my home page. It is showing the slideshow and works good when I login as admin but once if logout I can only see the block name not the slideshow. I am not sure how to make this work for all users. Please help me. Thank you.
Maybe you haven't assigned
Maybe you haven't assigned permissions for anonymous users to see your new nodes? Are your nodes published? Do anonymous users have permissions to access a slideshow altogether? Maybe you have set a restricted access through the view itself so that only admins can see it?
Just a couple of places to look.
Thanks Sean, Since the access
Thanks Sean, Since the access is unrestricted I thought I don't have to select users in admin/permission. It works now.
Waiting to see more videos.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the screen cast -
Thanks for the screen cast - I learnt a whole lot. It was a bit difficult to follow the first because I'm a bit new to Drupal and you did a few things behind the seen i.e. create content type and content etc. I did eventually figure it out. My question for you is how do I stop the "posted by" bits from displaying in the block? It fine for the actual quotes page but I would not like it to show in the block (sideshow). Thanks again.
To hide the "submitted by
To hide the "submitted by user on date, time" line from the display, you can choose to display only field values in your view that you created for your slideshow. Granted, if you are new to Drupal then this is just jargon, but the skinny is do some research about displaying individual fields as results in your view rather than whole nodes. This way you have more control of what appears in your views and slideshows.
Great screencast, makes it
Great screencast, makes it look simple and easy.
This is REALY helpfull!!!
This is REALY helpfull!!! First, I've got some ideas to implement in the site I'm developing now. Secondly, for some reason and althought I'm programming for years, I didn't understand that "views" in drupal is simply the views that I know from databases, and you helped me to understand it AND to understand how to manage views in drupal. So thank you for all the help!

Enjoyed the screencast. Can't wait to play with this module.
