Building a nice slideshow with Drupal views and jQuery

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

For one of my projects at One-Agency, i had to build a slideshow with images of one of my content types.

I started to make my promotions content type with CCK and make it possible to upload an image and add extra information on the promo.
After that, i could start with the real work.

I made a block-view with the settings to show only promotions that are published, and show the nodes in this view as a node. Once you have this set up, you can start to prepare you’re template file.

Introduction to Jquery @ Drupalcon Szeged2008

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

Because i am considerably new to drupal, I learned a big deal at the DrupalCon in Szeged. I am also new to jquery because untill now I preferred prototype with scriptaculous to do the fancy javascript in Onegana’s content management system. A couple of sessions handled jquery, jquery in drupal and even advanced javascript techniques and patterns in javascript.

Javascript has always been a lot of fun when writing, although programmers have to make sure that different browsers give the user the same nice experience they want.
