Re: [support] Flash based 'rotator' for front page?
This is really vague, sorry, but I know someone has done it. I remember seeing a demo of it some time ago. It might be worth a look through the modules page to see if you can find it. I know that doesn't help a lot knowing it exists but not knowing where, but at least you know it's there somewhere. :) Michelle On 9/10/2007 8:32:21 AM, Jody Cleveland (cleveland@winnefox.org) wrote:
Hello,
I have a website that has a number of items on the front page. Is there a module out there, or does anyone know of a way to have a block cycle through items promoted to front page? I'd kind of like to do what the Steam does:

Have a block where every few seconds, a new story appears. But, having little blocks you can click on as well to move around those stories.

I don't have the code handy, but the jQuery to cycle through the list items in an unordered list is maybe 15 lines if you're verbose about it. I did that for a client recently. On Monday 10 September 2007, Michelle Cox wrote:

If you could share the code, I'd greatly appreciate it. I know nothing about how to code for jQuery. Thank you! - jody On 9/10/07 7:15 PM, "Larry Garfield" <larry@garfieldtech.com> wrote:

I did find this site: http://www.renmenbi.com/ The East Meets West box is exactly what I want. It's absolutely perfect. I did a search on drupal.org, and I believe they are using the ViewsCarousel module. But, it has absolutely no documentation, and I can't figure out how to get it to work. - jody On 9/10/07 2:33 PM, "Michelle Cox" <mcox@charter.net> wrote:

The ViewsCarousel module doesn't have any releases from what I can see. But there's a pointer to the JCarousel plugin at http://drupal.org/project/jcarousel which has a bit of documentation on how to use it in the readme text as well as a link to get more options. .s Jody Cleveland wrote:
