Howdy all - I've been using MSS for a while and would like to contribute back the start of a Drupal module which allows you to use it with Drupal's image.module and image_gallery.module. This is somewhat developer-oriented, but basically it makes a theme function available so you can easily embed a slideshow where you want it (in nodes, template files, etc.). Here's the package:
This assumes you put swfobject.js and monoslideshow.swf in /modules/monoslideshow along with the files in the zip archive. I did not include those files in the zip archive for obvious reasons.
Once installed, there is a configuration page under admin -> settings -> monoslideshow that you'll want to visit.
In your template files or in a node (with PHP enabled), you can say: print theme('monoslideshow', 3, '100%', '240', '#FFFFFF');
The first argument (after 'monoslideshow') is the ID of the image gallery you want the slideshow to display (this is the same as the taxonomy term id for that gallery). Only the first argument is requird; the others are optional. The second and third arguments are width and height (either percentage with % sign or pixels). The fifth is a background color in hex. If you omit the optional values, then the site-wide defaults (as configured on the config page) will be used.
Some basic limitations:
--only global preferences supported (will affect all images) --only one album/set of images is supported. does not allow you to navigate through all of your site's image galleries in one interface --description and link are not supported, only title --does not automatically replace the image.module's image gallery pages
If I make more additions I will try to bring them back here. Feel free to use and modify at will, though I would appreciate credit for starting it.
Haven't tested it yet, but that rocks Jesse! :) Hopefully Drupal users can implement Monoslideshow easily now. I'll make a little post in the "notifications" category.
Improvements: -- better admin settings -- supports $node->body as description="" -- links to image nodes' files directly instead of going through the image/view/NID path; I found that the old method was not caching correctly
Hi there, Thanks for this module. Unluckily it produced invalid code. Somehow it puts the image filename in the title and omits it in the src. do you know why this could be?
Look like a great addition to Drupal. I can't seem to get it working. I install the module but I not shore where the pictures should go. I read the manual but It escapes me how to get started. If you mange to walk me through it I will create a video module to explain it to other challenged people.
