<h2>Features</h2>
<a name="any_content"></a>
<h3>Any content</h3>
With the views slideshow dynamic display block module you can show any content in a slideshow.
<table>
<tr>
<td with="50%" valign="top">
<ul>
<li>Images<li>
<li>Video</li>
<li>Text</li>
</ul>
</td>
<td with="50%" valign="top">
<ul>
<li>Buttons (read more, play, view etc.)</li>
<li>Links (links to pages or other sites)</li>
<li>Combination of the above</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<a name="content_options"></a>
<h3>Multiple content delivery options</h3>
The views slideshow dynamic display block can get content from:
<ul>
<li>CCK\\Views for filtered content</li>
<li>Nodequeue for content in time and custom ordered content</li>
</ul>
<a name="multiple_slideshows"></a>
<h3>Multiple slideshows</h3>
You can make an unlimited amount of slideshows. The slideshows can also be placed on the same page. Javascript Slideshows are by definition CPU intensive. It is advisable to make the transitions as short as possible and the timeout between the slides as long as possible.
<a name="slideshow_config"></a>
<h3>Configuration per slideshow</h3>
All the settings of each slideshow can be configured separately. Settings are e.g.:
<table>
<tr>
<td with="50%" valign="top">
<ul>
<li>Content selection</li>
<li>Theme layout selection</li>
<li>Transition effect selection (25 different effects)</li>
<li>Option to add custom transitions</li>
<li>Multiple transitions in one slideshow</li>
<li>Speed: time of the transition</li>
<li>Timeout: time between the transitions</li>
<li>Order of slides</li>
</ul>
</td>
<td with="50%" valign="top">
<ul>
<li>Pause: stop slideshow when hovered</li>
<li>Next: go to next slide clicking slide</li>
<li>Pager selection</li>
<li>Pager position</li>
<li>Pager event: click or mouseover</li>
<li>Custom Cycle plugin settings, for advanced usages</li>
<li>Slidetext Effects</li>
<li>Slidetext Position</li>
<li>Slidetext speed and timeout</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<a name="pagers"></a>
<h3>Number-, prev/next-, text-, image, scrollable-pagers</h3>
For selecting the different slides the views slideshow dynamic display block module provides a number pager, a previous/next pager, pagers with text, images and a combination to select the different slides. A scrollable pager can be used when you want to show more slides in a slideshow while limiting the space for the pager items.
<a name="themes"></a>
<h3>Free and commercial layout themes</h3>
With the views slideshow dynamic display block module you get several free theme layouts which are licensed under GPL. Other new themes are developed and you can purchase them at <a href="http://themes.myalbums.biz">Themes.myalbums.biz</a>. If you want to request a theme layout you can contact us via the <a href="http://themes.myalbums.biz/contact">contact</a> form.
