Changes picture slideshow through webinterface

I have modified the theme to allow for creation of slider images through content. You can see an example site at http://bluemasters.chrislock.info/. You can download the code in the bottom right corner of the home page. It includes a modified theme and a features module. All changes to the theme are in page--front.tpl.php and 4 new tpl files are included to theme the views content for displaying in the slider. I have included the tgz file here, Sorry I did not put instructions in the file but they are on the site.

Thanks Clock, this was a much needed addition. I was able to install & enable both the module & theme just fine. One question however, my slideshow does not continue to cycle once it reaches the end. Is there an adjustment I need to make somewhere? Thx

I should also mention that I'm unable select an image using the navigation circles. I noticed that there were 3 new "View: Rotation Image:" blocks, but adding them to a region made no difference.

the blocks are pragmatically add to the home page.

I have this theme installed on three site, the images continue to rotate, and the selectors work. (D7.2 and 7.4)

Let me know if you find something I did wrong, or if you can't find whats going wrong.

Will this be rolled into a future release of bluemasters?

Clock, I've retried on a clean install with no success. I'm using a Bitnami-Drupal installer, version 7.4 on a Windows XP host machine.
I've tried viewing in three diff browsers (IE, Firefox, & Chrome). The problems are no image rotation (only the most recent image uploaded displays), selectors do not work, & the image title does not display. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, any suggestions?
Oh, also I'm using Ctools 7.x-1.0-beta1, and Views 7.x-3.0-rc1

@goosefists
Steps I took:
created windows xp vm (virtual box)
downloaded bitnami Drupal 7.7-0 (this is a first for me)
Ran Setup
downloaded Ctools 7.x-1.0-rc1, and Views 7.x-3.0-rc1
downloaded bluemasters_views.tgz
downloaded features 7.x-1.0-beta3
downloaded 7zip to extract tgz file
extracted above files
placed ctools, views and features in modules dir
moved bluemaster_views to C:\Program Files\BitNami Drupal Stack\apps\drupal\htdocs\sites\all\themes
moved bluemaster_views_feature to C:\Program Files\BitNami Drupal Stack\apps\drupal\htdocs\sites\all\modules

enabled 'Blue Masters Feature' and 'Views'
enable and set default 'Blue Masters with Views' theme

Added content of type 'front page'
added another so we can test selectors

RESULTS
It works in firefox 5.0.1 on windows xp
in IE 6.0 the slideshow works but we have no selectors to click on. (this looks like a css problem in bluemasters)

side note: This is the first time viewing bluemaster in IE, and it needs some work before its ready for a production site, Or we need to ban IE :)

IE 6.0 is discontinued. It's a 10 year old browser.
Even Microsoft is Campaigning for an end of IE6. Global usage of IE6 has reached below 10% and North American users have dropped to below 2%. Supporting IE6 would mean you have to sacrifice heavily on the look, feel and the functionality of your website, therefore don't worry about IE 6 compatibility, check it under IE 7 and above.

For more information on IE6 Countdown by Microsoft, please visit www.ie6countdown.com

The web address above with the example is a dead link. I need to change my slide show images and really need to figure out how the module was configured in order to change the slide content.

Can anyone please help?

@iflex
sorry its hosted on a free vpn.net server and goes down sometimes. Its running now though, let me know if you have any questions.

Install
1. Unzip the files.
2. Move the bluemasters_views_feature directory into you sites/all/modules directory.
3. Move the bluemasters_views directory into your sites/all/themes directory.
4. Enable the "Blue Masters Feature" module at your_url/admin/modules.
5. Enable and set default the "Blue Masters with views 7.x-1.1" theme at your_url/admin/appearance

You now have the "front page" content type. You add images to the home page by adding front page content. The title will display as the caption text and the image will be re-sized and cropped to fit.

By default all "front page" content will be included in the slider with the newest content appearing first. You can change the view to display a set number of items. There is a glitch that is noted at http://drupal.org/node/1128798 when you have move than 12 images in the slider.

Have fun,
Clock

Is this slideshow interface available in version 6?

Thanks worked like a champ on the first try. By way on the site http://bluemasters.chrislock.info/ #3 has a typo (vies). Thanks again!

Thank you for dropping a note, and for finding the typo.

@nagapampa - I have not done any work on for it on D6 but it should be easy to setup with views. Sorry it took so long to get back to you!!

Thanks so much for making this.

Just an fyi to everyone, you can drop all of this in the themes directory, but this should be used as a subtheme still with bluemasters as the base theme.

Hi,

Changes slideshow picture through page--front.tpl.php file.

Thanks!
