Views/Views slideshow confusion I am trying to create a slideshow that would be showing 3 instances of my custom contant type "Slideshow Image".
After spending hours without any success I've decided to seek help! I noticed that Views changed a lot when I updated all modules, and it seems as if Slideshow is not among the options for display under "Format" in the control panel of my view. I have Grid, HTML list, Jump menu, Table, Unformatted list but no slideshow. Now, I think I remember seeing "slideshow" as an option before "Views" changed! My questions are:


Have Views changed so that Slideshow is no longer an option for display? Am I going insane?
If it has, what is the new way of doing things?
If it hasn't, what could I be doing wrong?
There is a module called "Views Slideshow". It seems to not be fully ready for Drupal 7 yet. Do I need it? Is that my only option (as a Drupal &amp; web programming newbie)?


Can anybody please help me clear this out?
Views Slideshow does not come with the views module. Therefore you will not see it by default.  You have to download and enable the views_slideshow module to see this option.

There is alot of other contrib slideshow modules as well

Related modules


Views Slideshow Menu
Views Slideshow Slider
Views Slideshow Imageflow
Views Slideshow Dynamic Display Block  (My Favourite of this list)
Views Slideshow Galleria
Views Slideshow JCarousel Thumbs
Views Slideshow Xtra


Most of these module does not have a supported Drupal 7 version,  however most of their Drupal 7 dev version will be stable enough to use.  I know I have used views_slideshow_ddblock without any troubles.
