Allow custom styles in NivoSlider

styles are hardcoded. see views_nivo_slider_style_plugin.inc

you can workaround it:

1. add a new option for the new style
2. put your new style in the styles folder in the view nivo slider module folder (or patch the module to allow picking styles from other folders as well)

being a quite ugly workaround (especially the second step), I'm changing this issue in a feature request :)

attached patch take care of step #2 in the above comment.

Complete patch:

1. It add an hook to add a new style:

    * Hook to register a Nivo Slider style.
    *
    * your root css file inside your style folder shall be named
    * custom-nivo-slider.css
    */
   function hook_views_nivo_slider_styles() {
     return array(
       'path/to/your_style_directory' => t('Style name'),
     );
   }
   

2. Allow putting your style folder wherever you want (that means it includes the patch at #2)

enjoy

Your patch in comment #3 is not available on d.o, naming problem I believe.

Default themes/styles from Nivo Slider is now available in the 7.x-3.x branch.
For custom theme, could select None for the style and you can theme it via .theme-none

But still would like to have #3 patch to go in to support other folders such as theme.

here it is. there is room for improvement :)

trying again

Make sure you are patching against 7.x-3.x branch, you are working on old branch.

need more time for that :)
