Slide Shows


By Tom Hale - Posted on 02 April 2010

My first blog entry will have to do with creating slide shows.  I have worked with a number of scripts over the years and there are now several I would recommend.

First - this client is using a slide show by Visual Lightbox (www.visuallightbox.com) which is relatively easy to configure and install.  Check it out here.

Second - using Drupal, there is a nice slideshow feature that works with Views.  Here's a sample of how that looks - check it out here!

Third - using Drupal, there is a version of Lightbox (Lightbox2) that offers much of the same results as the Lightbox version above.  Example here:  www.aliveness-test.com/dol-photos.

Fourth - using Flickr (www.flickr.com), I can upload photos and then using an api I can link the Flickr account to Drupal!  It's a great solution because the client can upload their photos to Flickr, and then I can link them into their Website with Drupal.  Example here:  www.aliveness-test.com/flickr
