Slideshow within a news item [#601492]

Thank You for this great module. Makes life soooo easy. One feature request. Please consider the option of using a slideshow within a news article like this http://tinyurl.com/y9s72wh

I saw your video tutorials and it is possible to do this with the module already. What I am requesting is to formalize this feature for a particular content type without the need to tamper with the page template file and adding css.

I believe this module need to be in core.

Thanks,

What would it cost to sponsor this functionality and of course release it to the Drupal community?

Thanks gmasky, I'm honored.

What do you want to spend does not matter, what counts is the intention.

Let me know exactly what idea you have, what has to make this sub-module?

Regards

Hey jcmc,

I do not want a sub-module.

My feature request already exists on your test site (partially) here http://simple.puntolatinoclub.de/content/discos However to achieve this you have added css to wrap the text around the image and you have adjusted the template file.

What I am asking for is
1. Similar functionality as your example with the option of displaying one image or a grid of images
2. There should not be any need to adjust the css and the template file. It should work out of the box
4. I should be able to have the image/grid either on the left or right of the page with text wrapped around the image/grid
5. I should be able to enable or disable this functionality for any gallery content type.

While I can adjust the css and template file for a particular node as you have detailed in your tutorial, a normal user on a production site needs to use the system and does not have the skills to adjust css and the template file for each node he may create.

I am suggesting a generic system that works out of the box for (say) a newspaper site.

Hello this future request is very old but now it is possible with the help of the views integration to achieve this functionality.
You can see an example at http://www.assist-series.com
