Here's a comparison of Drupal slideshows: http://drupal.org/node/418616.

I recently used this one: http://drupal.org/project/fpss, after reviewing the offerings in the above list. The 22 euros seemed worth it, considering the time I would have spent making the ones above look good.

Cheers!

Hi, have a look at views_slideshow, you need a view to do the db stuff but this module provides a plugin for the scrolling display

Hi all. I really need to display a number of images of the same dimensions on the main page, each image should remain for n seconds then be replaced by another from the database.

I also need to display some text over the image and change that every n seconds. Is there a module that permits display of images sequentially or selected at random from the database? Is there a module that permits timed text quotes on a page?, once again random or sequential.

Failing this can someone point me to some php code that I could modify for the above. It's years since I used php so the whole thing is a significant learning curve.

Many thanks Roger

Thanks, Malcolm. I've been looking for something like this for Quevin.com (instead of my Flash movie).

I recently used jCarousel (http://drupal.org/project/jcarousel) and themed my View's (block) style output:

<div id="oxygencarousel"> <ul> <?php foreach ($rows as $id => $row): ?> <li> <?php print $row; ?> </li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> <div class="jcarousel-control"><a href="#">7</a> <a href="#">4</a> <a href="#" class="active">1</a></div> </div>

// Probably a better way to automate the controls here, but there are always going to be three sets of three (9 items).

<?php jcarousel_add('#oxygencarousel', array('horizontal' => TRUE)); drupal_add_js('sites/all/themes/oxygencloud/js/jquery-script.js', 'theme'); ?>

------ in jquery-script.js ------

//this function creates the control links and binds them function mycarousel_initCallback(carousel) { // now bind the controls jQuery('.jcarousel-control a').bind('click', function() { carousel.scroll(jQuery.jcarousel.intval(jQuery(this).text())); $('.jcarousel-control a.active').removeClass('active'); $(this).addClass('active'); return false; }); }; //create the jCarousel on the #mycarousel element with the initCallback above jQuery(document).ready(function() { jQuery("#oxygencarousel").jcarousel({ initCallback: mycarousel_initCallback, }); });
