Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Mini D7 requires some additional work to get field_slideshow pumping. I'm missing a step. Please, help me fill in the blank! Thank you.
Mini D7 install:
1) Extract to the sites/{sitename}/modules directory.
2) Toggle field_slideshow and Field UI at /admin/modules. //Added "field UI". It's off in mini.
3) {Missing step}?
4) Create a new content type in /admin/structure/types. Be sure to include a multiple image field. //Added step. there are no content types in mini by default.
5) {Missing step}?
6) Go to /admin/structure/types/manage/{content type}/display and switch the format of your multiple image field from image to slideshow.
7) Click the settings wheel in the slideshow-formatted multple image field to edit advanced settings.
The issue, as you can see, surrounds step 4. It seems that by default, there is no option to add "multiple image" fields. Only "image" fields can be added. So, maybe there's a step 3, where an additional module needs to be toggled? Or maybe there's a step 4, and there's some setting I'm missing which turns an image field into a multiple image field? Anyway..., I can't figure out how to get multiple image fields. It would be very nice to have this step documented.
Thank you,

Fohsap commented1) Extract to the sites/{sitename}/modules directory.
2) Toggle Field UI, Number, and Field Slideshow at /admin/modules. //Added "Number". It's off in mini and is required to create a multi-value image field.
3) Create a new content type in /admin/structure/types. Be sure to include an image field. Edit the image field to make it so that multiple image files may be added. //Added 'edit image field'. It's important to turn the image field into a multiple image field. With only one image, the slideshow format is meaningless.
4) Go to /admin/structure/types/manage/{content type}/display and switch the format of your multiple image field from image to slideshow.
5) Click the settings wheel in the slideshow-formatted multple image field to edit advanced settings.

Fohsap commentedHere's an image detailing the better half of the solution. The module toggling is brainless and shouldn't require an image.
Location of 'image edit' is admin/structure/types/manage/{new content type}/fields/field_image, as shown in the attached.

jdanthinne commentedThanks, I've updated the doc in the DEV version (see http://drupalcode.org/project/field_slideshow.git/blob/ce3363a:/README.txt).
The only thing I've not included is the Number module requirement, because it is not, I confirm (I had a doubt, but tested without it, and it works fine).
