Slideshow inside Catalog - how..?

[perdy]

Thank you for an excellent extension, tutorials and more !!!

Anybody how can help me integrate a slideshow (Slideshow2, Coin Slider, ...) in a catalog, instead of just one image.

From this topic:

it seems like Ben managed to do it on this side:

Example on use of the catalog on the site i'm working on:

You will have to build this manually (e.g. yourself). I have built a slider using the input from the catalog's images as it's values. Normally you just have to render the content identical to the "normal" way the slider does it in your catalog template and then of course also include the slider scripts (using $GLOBALS['TL_JAVASCRIPT'] and $GLOBALS['TL_HEAD']) to insert that code into the header. Then you should be set. It really depends on the slider that you want to use and how it expects the elements.

You will of course have to use the $data['raw'] (or similar) in the template to get the raw list of images. I found that the gallery produces a good enough output that can be "slided".

Thank you, thyon !
This was exactly the kind of help, I was hoping for...

I didn't realized until now, that I could point to a folder, rather than a single file, and then get a list of images. ops:
And with your description I think I'll find out, how to get it "slided"
