Hello, I set up successfully this module and i would clone the "ddblock_image_field_example_item" content type to create my own one.

my personal content type uses:

  • field_ddblock_if_slide_text
  • field_ddblock_if_pager_item_text

yes, they are the same of default "ddblock_image_field_example_item" content type.

and more, as image, i set up a new field "field_mycontent_img" different from "field_ddblock_if_image" (i need to crop the image before using it).

Then using a clone of "upright50" view (a clone that filters all the "my-own-content" nodes insted of "ddblock image field example" ones and that uses my new Image field insted of "field_ddblock_if_image"), I see the block with title, description...but without my new custom image.

How can I show the image(s) from my own image-field?

thanks in advance for helping me!!

I just wanna clone "upright50" view using my own content-type (different from "ddblock_image_field_example_item" content type).

Any ideas about how to show images?

Thanks.

In the Views settings for the block you need to make sure the field you want to show for your image is listed in the Fields section (if it is a custom field it should be a Content type). Once you have exposed the field, you should be able to map it to the slide_image and/or pager_image in the Slideshow settings for your block.

ye ppblaauw, but unfortunately his suggestion didn't help me...my own content-type files was already in the view fiels section.

what I need is to personalize the "upright50" settings for my content-tipe....and the problem is that my image-field is different from the original "upright50"..

I saw that "field_ddblock_if_image" is used in the module code to create the uprightXX...
( /views_slideshow_ddblock/vsd_if_examples/vsd_if_examples.install lines 36- etc )

I would try to understand if i can replace that default field with my new one.

please tell me if my problem isn't clear enough.
thanks to everone for help.

ps: sorry for my bad engl.

The best option is to create a new view for your own content type
Add a filter to select published nodes and your content type
Add the field you need (make sure you select field from your content type)
choose slideshow for the display style and configure the ddblock settings.
Select a slideshow theme.
Select the field of the view you want to map to the theme fields
and configure the other settings.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.
