Slide show on the front page

Hi

 

I successfuly installed md-wedding template and made some basic pages on the drupal site. How do I include a slide show on the front page, as is shown on the front page of the demo of md-wedding. I am a newbie to drupal development, so pardon me if it is a trivial question.

 

Thx

Hi,
You can try with md-wedding documents here: http://support.megadrupal.com/docs/md-wedding-documentation

Hi

 

The link you mentioned are the installation instructions. I was able to install all the md-wedding modules fine. Then I went to structure->blocks and moved the 3D slider into the slideshow box (please see screen capture).  I saved everything. But am lost about what is the next step?

Next, try to add some "photo album" image (click to "add content" on shortcut bar) you'll find a field called "image for slideshow" there

Thanks for your reply Neo.

 

When I click "add content", I do not find any field to add photo/album. It just give me four basic options (like basic page, article, etc.). So I decided to check if there is a content type "photo_album". Indeed, there was a content type photo album. So, I am confused why I could not add a photo_album from "add content". I edited the "photo_album" content type to add a new image field (shown in screen capture). Can you show me what fields you had in your photo_album content type? Also, may be I am completely wrong, but do I need to include the photo_album in a "view"?

it's here:

actually, md_wedding_feature module will create content type & fields for you. I'll check this module again. By the way, you can add 2 fields like about picture. (Field photo album to show in album node, I used unlimit for this field)

Thanks Neo. I will not create the above fields manually, instead I will wait to hear back from you as to why md_wedding_features module did not create the fields automatically.

I'm not sure what's happen with your site. I checked code, it's fine. I also tryed to install and it created content type, fields & views for me.

Can you please create fields manually?

I think my manual installation was buggy. I redid the website from scratch and did the automatic install. Everything works now ... its beautiful.
