The code calls a function that doesn't exist: basepath(). It should be base_path() which isn't working very well either. It is returning a link http://node/932

 if (isset($result->nid)) {
            $slider_items[$key1]['slide_read_more'] =  l('Read more...', basepath() . 'node/' . $result->nid);
            $slider_items[$key1]['slide_node'] =  basepath() . 'node/' . $result->nid;
          }

Thanks for reporting.
Strange that base_path() does not work.
Will upload new version soon after some more testing.

New version uploaded without the base_path() in the l() function.
It is not needed here. The l() function will take care of the path.

Well, there was another problem. In the link for some reason 'node/' is being 'tokenized'. I'm getting the URL plus the node's title. Not sure why. So instead of http://example.com/node/384, I getting http://example.com/title-of-node???

I solved it by editing the CCK form. I removed the name of the body so I don't have a body anymore. Then I made another text field with a machine name 'rotator_link' which I labeled 'Read more link.' I wasn't sure if I was supposed to add a field to the view so I did anyway. This way with just a drag and drop I can link to any content on my site. Much nicer.

Here is the code in the template.php file:

 // add slide_read_more variable and slide_node variable
          if (isset($result->nid)) {
			$readmore_link = $result->node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_rotator_link_value;
            $slider_items[$key1]['slide_read_more'] =  l('Read more...', $readmore_link);
            $slider_items[$key1]['slide_node'] =  $base_url . 'node/' . $result->nid;
          }

I also changed the css to make the frame longer and shorter. With the funky Image Crop widget http://drupal.org/project/imagefield_crop anybody who adds an image has to, mandatory, crop it the correct width, height ratio. Very cool stuff.

When I get paid for this project I'll send you a Sunday donation. Thanks for the development!

http://example.com/title-of-node

is the alias for 

http://example.com/node/384

which is good

The solution and code you use now is similar to: How to link Read more... button to another page instead of the node

Have a look at it. It also adds a little bit more flexible option to use the link you have in textfield and if not available it uses the link to the node.

I used the imagecache_actions module for automatic actions on images but not the imagefield_crop module. Will have a look at it.

Thanks again
