@chillin411 Rotating Banners in Drupal (there is more than one way to do it)
There are actually ~15 ways to do it Content Glider Dynamic display block Views Rotator Views Cycle Views Slideshow Views Slideshow DD Block Views Slideshow ImageFlow Source: http://drupal.org/node/418616 @chillin411 Featured Content Slider Slider Views Carousel Ajax Slideshow Views Accordian Couloir Slideshow Frontpage Slideshow CCK Multimage
What are we dealing with? Nodes View Javascript Plugins Assisting Modules @chillin411
Nodes Use a separate node type Imagecache will make things easier Node Reference > Link CCK Nodequeue Trigger/Actions solve sorting problems @chillin411
Views Use relationships to hook into nodequeue and node reference Unstyled fields let you theme with CSS Allows you to export the view – great for features, etc. @chillin411
Javascript Plugin Drupal includes jQuery Most mature jQuery rotating plugin -> jQuery.cycle Flexibility between jQuery and Drupal/Views -> Views Slideshow @chillin411
Rotating Banner http://drupal.org/project/rotating_banner D7 only, in alpha release (currently on Drupal Gardens) If you don't need views on your site for anything else, use this on D7, without question Very solid option for D7, especially if it adopts jQueryUI @chillin411
Thanks! @chillin411
