hi,

i would like to use the "nodes slideshow" in an OP frontpage.

For example, 2 websites use it : http://www.tnr.com/ - http://www.nrn.com/

See my image attached below.

1) is this a single specific module for OP ? in OP ?
2) is this a specific development used with a "views" module ?
3) how to use it in an OP 2.3 ?

Thks ;-)

You can make it with

You can make it with different modules.

One of the best is the Dynamic Display Block which can be found at http://drupal.org/project/ddblock with loads of information in it.

The other one is views_slideshow (which I think is used on TNR) which is located at http://drupal.org/project/views_slideshow .

Both have good resources, but views_slideshow can be manipulated easier for your purposes i think

So to answer your questions:

1) No
2) No
3) Enable and create a new view which has a block in it and enable it in context.
