Sorry I haven't started this yet; too many things on my plate. Feel free to make a patch, I'll be glad to commit it. Otherwise, it'll probably be a few weeks before I can get to it.

Thanks,
Aaron

Please have a go timmillwood. I'd love to see it going under D6.

+1 for the port to D6.

Please let me know if I can do anything to help test the patch.

from the comments it looks like I have pretty much assigned myself to this, but I haven't started yet and will be on holiday next week. So expect the patch early October.

Is this what we are looking for?

I contacted the author of "views rotator" and he is not going to
display more than one item at a time. Views slideshow is different
in that it can display some range of items at a time (more like a small gallery).

Hopefully this will start you on the right track...

I used the Coder module to help make Views Slideshow work in D6. All that really changed (apart from lots of syntax corrections) was the implementation of hook_theme() and the updating of hook_menu(). I tried to follow as best I could off Angie Byron's video and from looking at how other core modules implemented hook_theme(), but not sure if I got it right, so you may want to check that.

You can install and configure the module in D6 now, however I can't find how to set the 'slideshow' type. I'm guessing it's meant to be an option in the new 'Style' section of Views 2. I'm not sure if it just needs a small tweak to integrate properly with Views 2 or a total re-write...

Anyway, this is my first attempt at a module patch, please let me know if it's ok :)

thanks for the great start, BWPanda!

with my book about done, i should have some time this month to get this, although i need to wrap up emfield first.

i'll probably just do a straight port (fixing for new views 2 api), then finish up the work to integrate w/ jcarousel for a new & improved version.

I *think* the patches applied ok. I made one or two minor tweaks and installed it.
It appears to install ok and I enabled it, but aren't the slideshow types supposed to
show up somewhere in either views->list or views->add? I don't see it anywhere.
I'm running Views 6.x-2.0-rc2 on Drupal 6.4.

Attached is the patched version of Views-Slideshow I rolled up for Drupal 6.

Care to share what you 'tweaked'? :)

mm..
Can anybody tell me how to create a new views slideshow type through views ui?

There is no slideshow option either on views type or views display.
Or am I looking @ the wrong place?

slimandslam commented

Well, I don't recall but why would that matter? As I pointed out in my posting, I still don't know how to actually add a slideshow view using views (but I'm guessing that's because that part has not been written or ported). Still, it does seem to install and run, so anyone can use that as a basis for further development.

It'd just be good to see what I missed... I haven't done a lot of patching before, so it's good to get feedback for future reference :)

Not sure about your version (depends what you changed), but my version will only let you install and enable the module, not use it.
I think because Views underwent a major re-write, some (or a lot) or the Views Slideshow code will also need to be re-written.

Any progress on this aaron?

The API for Views 2 is completely different. Had to write a new plugin handler for this. Also cleaned some things up, made the module lighter, moved things to included files etc.

The down side is there is no upgrade path from d5 to d6, due to no upgrade path for Views in general.

Nice side is that making a Views Slideshow in d6 is considerably easier.

Need some folks to test! Please open new issues if you find bugs; I'm closing this one.
