If you scroll down to "With Thumbnail" demo here - http://nivo.dev7studios.com/demos/, I'm not sure if it's already in it, but I haven't been able to find it in the view or been able to configure it to do this.

Is it a feature being considered, or is it already in there but I just haven't found it? If it's not in it, could we have this feature in the settings for the module? I'm probably overlooking something, but it's a feature that I'd love to have in the module.

How would you do this with CSS? Or would you have to work on this into a php file? If so, there should be an upcoming documentation on explaining how to theme it. That would be great!

Thanks pedrofaria for the great module. This is one of the better sliders modules have to offer.

I need this feature too. Perhaps configurable thumbnail position as well (top/bottom of slider)?

PS: A little off-topic with this question, but does it play nice with Views 3.x ? I am asking cause I need to replace the Views Galleriffic module with one that actually does. Nivo seems to be the perfect candidate.

Hi all,

I will update nivo slider js library to 1.9 and find a way to implement thumbs on module.

I guess that the only way to make it real is using Imagecache module together to select a preset to use as thumbnails...

send me more ideas to implement it...

The way Views Galleriffic does it is it lets you choose an ImageCache preset for thumbs and a different one for the main slideshow.

There is also a field you can select for the slideshow title (usually Node Title) and one for caption (either image alt text or description).

While you're at it, please consider adding an option for how thumbs should wrap if they exceed the slideshow's width/height (depending on where they are placed related to it: right/left or top/bottom). Again, using Views Galleriffic as an example, it implements 'pagination' of thumbnails. So you have a pager underneath the thumbs, but there is no way to customize the number of rows/columns for the thumbnails.

In the case of the single, one-liner thumbnail stripe, I kinda like the idea of using a 'fish-eye' menu (if people don't think that it is too 'bloated'). Please have a look here:

CSS Dock Menu (uses jQuery library)
Pure CSS Fish Eye Menu (uses the ':hover' pseudo-class on li tags)

a collection of implementations:
9 Opensource Fisheye Menus

...and a very nice example of what I mean:
Fisheye Component v0.3 & example

Ok guys,

I updated nivo slider lib to 1.9 to support thumbs but i have to force some changes on this module.

Imagecache now is a dependency and you have to select a preset for image at slider at View Style screen.

The problem is that you need to create CSS on your theme to style your thumbs as Nivo Slider library creator do... unfortunately NS dont use any class when you are using thumbs on Navigation Control... maybe we need to create a issue at NS project page to build it.
