At the meetup last Wednesday, there were three different modules presented for displaying multiple rotating images in a block, with one central image and the others listed as tabs on the side. One was ddblock, and the other two were using Views based modules. Could someone mention what the two views based options are that were shown? I think I might now, but I'd like to make sure.
Thanks,

From my notes, the modules
From my notes, the modules mentioned where: Views Slideshow, Views Cycle and Views Carousel, as well as JQuery Cyclers and ddblock.

Comparison of rotator / Slideshow Modules
You might want to check out the drupal.org article that compares several of these module. The article is located here:

I hope this helps.

Another option
There are a few free jquery tools that I'm using for advanced navigation and content rendering.

It requires custom code to implement. These components also require a newer version of Jquery than the current D6 version (even using Jquery update doesn't bring the site up to the latest version). So if you use these - beware that you'll have to develop a work around for loading the current version of Jquery as well. But the results are outstanding if you have the time to work through the custom coding and JQuery version issue.
Can't get anything to display
Thanks for all the help. I decided to go with the views_cycle module, but I can't get it to display anything at all. I have the required jquery.cycle.js file in sites/all/modules/views_cycle, but when I set the style type to Cycle, nothing gets displayed. I've checked the query generated by views in MySQL, and it returns the data correctly, and I get the data displayed when I use a standard style (like Unformatted), but I just can't get anything to display with the Cycle style set. Does anybody who's used this have suggestions for what else I can look at?
Thanks.
What about regular galleries
Is there a comparison page for regular galleries - for grouping images of video shots?
