How To: Rotating Home page images in Drupal 5.x with Views Rotator

Joined: 09/05/2008

I put together the steps necessary to create a home page rotating image/advertisement in Drupal 5.x (as seems very popular among church websites these days) using Matt Farina's very own Views Rotator module.

The Recipe can be found here:

Examples:
http://www.astoriachurch.org
http://calvary.cbcnyc.org/home (this website is in development but the views rotator section should remain there throughout development.)

Question/Issue:
I ran into a problem that the first image/view that loads (using views rotator *item* style) is being displayed as a list item

  • while all subsequent views are display:block (or display:none when not visible). It seems like the type of display should be consistent among every view. Being different makes it trickier to style in the same manner.

    huh?

    When you talk about the first image do you mean there is a bullet before it and not the rest or are you referring to the html inserting a li for the first and not the rest.

    I didn't see an issue on your two examples sites. Could you take a screenshot?
