Ajax Slideshow http://drupal.org/project/ajax_slideshow View CVS instructions Modules · Content display udig - October 17, 2009 - 12:05 Sequential presentation of any of your site nodes, using fade effect based on ajax asynchronous calls. Why? Indeed there are plenty of slideshow modules out there. So why creating one more? We had to provide a good answer for the following requirements: Show a series of content items using the fade effect. Allow the content manager (non admin role) to fully control the contents & layout of each slide. Allow the content manager to easily publish / unpublish the slides and set their order of appearance. Allow the content manager to set the slides intervals. Ensure the performance is content-agnostic i.e. allow the slideshow content to grow (number of slides and their weight) without impacting the slideshow page load time. We could not find a module which fully suffice the above requirements (see comparison). Hence Ajax Slideshow was born. Differentiators Node based (vs. image based) - Differently then most of the slideshow modules (e.g. Couloir Slideshow), Ajax Slideshow is not necessarily about sequential presentation of images. Actually Ajax Slideshow is completely indifferent about the content it presents - each slide presents a complete node that may have any layout and content. Non Gallery-like - the term slideshow is a bit over-used. This module does not provide Gallery functionality. It only does what its name states - presenting a slideshow. A more gallery like alternative, if that's what you're looking for would be the views slideshow module. Performance & Scalability - Differently then Views Rotator it does not pull up all the presented content before the page loads but rather pull only the necessary content for the coming slide. This means that your slideshow page load time is not dependent on the amount and size of the slides created by the content manager. Features Instantly setup a nodes based slideshow
