Overview

The Views Slideshow Examples module is a sub-module of the Views Slideshow Xtra project. The module serves as a "Starter Kit" in that enabling the module creates working slideshows, which can be used as a starting point for your slideshows. Currently this includes three example slideshows. The first example is of a basic slideshow created using just the Views Slideshow module. The second example uses the Views Slideshow Overlay module, providing an example of a slideshow that has multiple overlays. The third example is of a single slide slideshow.

Installation

To install the Views Slideshow Examples module, download the Views Slideshow Xtra module (https://www.drupal.org/project/views_slideshow_xtra, currently 8.x-4.0 Alpha), and install the Views Slideshow Examples module in the normal way from admin/modules, or using Drush (drush -y en views_slideshow_examples). DO NOT install the Views Slideshow Xtra module, it is just a placeholder module for the included sub-modules.

When the module is installed, it creates a Slide content type, Slideshow taxonomy, Slideshow view, and example Slide content. The Slideshow view has three displays, one for each of the example slideshows.

The Slide content type is pre-populated with Slide nodes for the three examples. The Slideshow taxonomy has a term for each slideshow.

The basic slideshow example will be found at the path /basic-slideshow. The overlay slideshow example will be found at the path /overlay-slideshow.

Un-installing

Removal of the Slide content type, Slideshow taxonomy, and Slideshow view was omitted from this module's uninstall process, with the idea that users could enable the module and use them for their own slideshows, after deleting the example content. Thus, uninstalling this module does not delete the Slide content type, Slideshow taxonomy, or Slideshow view. The example slide content may be manually deleted from Admin >> Content, and the Slide content type may be deleted from Admin >> Structure >> Content Types. The Slideshow view may be deleted from Admin >> Structure >> Views.
