Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
I propose that the slideshow folder (sites/all/themes/danland/images/slideshow) be pointed to for the slideshow, and to not use specific file names. The benefit would be that page.tpl.php would not have to be edited, and so when updating the theme, nothing would be overridden. It would also be very easy to just ftp files to the slideshow folder and be done.
Does anyone else think this would be a nice feature? If so, I will figure out how to do it.

I am absolutely with you, especially as I am planning to change those pictures on a regular basis. If you could figure it out I would really appreciate your commitment to this issue.

Brainwrap CreditAttribution: Brainwrap commentedYep, I love the theme, but it'd be very nice to be able to swap out the home page slideshow images, display order, etc. via a simple web-based interface instead of by having to manually upload them and changing the raw page.tpl.php code.
