Our Drupal Views Slideshow Class is Live
We’re delighted to launch our latest class, “Drupal 7 Views Slideshow“.
This class is taught by Brian Lewis from Modules Unraveled and will show you how to create great slideshows in Drupal.
The Views Slideshow module is one of the most popular modules for Drupal. It can be used to create a slideshow of anything that can be displayed with Views!

What’s in the Views Slideshow class?
In Part 1 of this class Brian introduces us to the Views Slideshow module and walks us through the installation of all the necessary modules.
In Part 2 we create a content type, the necessary views and work on how they are displayed on the resulting page.
In Part 3 we add both text and image pagination to the slideshows and learn how to place them in different positions.
In Part 4 we create a slideshow from content items, overlay text and learn how to use arrows instead of text for our slideshow controls.
Finally, in Part 5 we learn about the Flexslider module, which when used in conjunction with Views Slideshow, is a powerful way to configure your slideshows.
