Hey Guys

I have also been working towards building a wrapper module for the nivo slider.

I decided to try and implement my wrapper as a CCK formatter because from what I can tell the Nivo Slider only supports images.

Anyways, my code is still not working, but I have posted it to github so we can collaborate our efforts:

http://github.com/mdance/nivoslider

The problem I am trying to resolve at the moment is how to instruct CCK to let me process all of the filefield/imagefield multiple values, instead of passing me each value individually.

I can do an ugly hack to circumvent this, but I keep thinking there should be a better way.

I would also like to provide a function so people can render the slider with a single function call.

For example:

nivoslider_create($images, $options, $sliderid);

Anyways, I have attached my code to this issue as well...

My version is now working with imagecache support using CCK formatters.

I have fixed a minor bug that was causing the non existant settings screen to crash, improved the imagecache support, and added the latest nivo slider functionality settings (thumbnail navigation, etc.)

Instead of constantly attaching zipfiles its changing enough to warrant pulling it from github :)

Hi that issue has been addressed on the latest version on github.

I have attached the latest version to this comment. Please note, my module is completely different from the one on the project download page.

thank you! yes, i did not use one at nivo slider project page, instead i also tried the alternative view nivo slider but did not manage it to work, maybe i created some wrong fireld or content in views...
ps imagecache and jquery update are the developers ones, updated as per requirements...
