Hi,

An article about adding image rotator functionality to the ss site.

http://erhanabay.com/2009/01/30/image-rotator-for-your-silverstripe-application/

Comments and suggestions are welcome...

Cool writeup , would you mind creating a recipe in the Silverstripe Wiki as well ? That way , all info will be centralized.

See http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=recipes:start&s=recipes

Nice one. I'm going to use the JW player in an up coming project and this will be a great help since i'm a SS newbie.

Thank you.

I am going to add it as soon as I have time.

Very nicely architected, though I'm not sure that a flash object is necessary. I usually do this with a few lines of javascript, as seen here:

Different approach, nice job!

But flash rotator can handle swf files as well. ;)

another example with javascript

JQuery Cycle Plugin

Hi UncleCheese

I have in Page.php created a function
function FrontPageRotator() {
return DataObject::get("Image", "`ParentID` = 31");
}

And in Page.ss the following template code
<% if frontPageRotator %>
<% control frontPageRotator %>
$Link<br />
<% end_control %>
<% end_if %>

I wanted to have $Image.setWidth(140) instead of $Link, but I dont seem to be able to refer to $Image.
Can you help?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards Trym
