Slideshow Creator

Slideshow Creator's integration with CCK is recommended since it gets really easy to build slideshows.

Installation

1. Just copy the folder to your sites/all/modules/ folder
2. Activate the module in your Drupal installation. Go to administer > modules (on Drupal 4.7) or administer > site building > modules (on Drupal 5.0)
3. Go to administer > input formats (on Drupal 4.7) or administer > site configuration > input formats (on Drupal 5.0) and add slideshow filter in any filter type your site have.

Usage

But you can insert it in any node, adding the string:
[slideshow:VERSION, img=|IMAGE_URL|LINK|TITLE|DESCRIPTION|TARGET|, img=|IMAGE_URL|LINK|TITLE|DESCRIPTION|TARGET|]

where:
VERSION: REQUIRED the slideshow filter version: currently 2

than, for each image you want to insert, use:
IMAGE_URL: REQUIRED the image itself
LINK: if you want to provide a link to some page, put the URL here
TITLE: often the bold text over the image
DESCRIPTION: often the text under the image
TARGET: where the linked page will show: _blank (default) will show on another window, _parent and _top is only used when pages have frames, _self shows on the very window or you can use a window name.

Or automatically extract images from a given directory. You can create a normal slideshow, but you can scan for more images using dir=|DIR_IMAGE|DIR_RECURSIVE|DIR_LINK|TITLE|DESCRIPTION|TARGET|

where:
DIR_IMAGE: REQUIRED the slideshow filter version: currently 2
DIR_RECURSIVE: "yes" if you want to scan recursively or leave it blank
DIR_LINK: "yes" if you want link all images to their own path or leave it blank
TITLE, DESCRIPTION and TARGET are applied to all images

example: (you can copy and paste for a test)
[slideshow: 2, img=|http://drupal.org/themes/bluebeach/logos/drupal.org.png|drupal.org|Drupal|The ultimate CMS.
