and also supports embedded videos. It also automaitcally creates thumbnails for embdeded videos. It displays the slider like this one: http://www.cirm.ca.gov/ out of the box when installed. Note:We have not tested contrib custom slider working together with the main slider yet.
A permalink, or permanent link, is a URL that points to a specific blog or forum entry after it has passed from the front page to the archives. Because a permalink remains unchanged indefinitely, it is less susceptible to link rot. Most modern weblogging and content-syndication software systems support such links. Other types of websites use permanent links, but the term permalink is most common within the blogosphere. Permalink is a portmanteau word made from permanent link.
This module allows you to add a permalink to any node type. The link will be displayed as text that is easily copied from your site so that someone can link to the node. The link text is to /node/NID or ?q=node/NID instead of an alias.
