Field Roundabout

Overview

Field Roundabout is a module for creating slideshows and animations from a field on a single entity.

Provides a jQuery Roundabout formatter on a single entity for multi-value Image, Media, or Field Collection fields. Currently only works for image fields but may be expanded to work for other field types.

Features

All functionality of the Roundabout plugin has not yet been implemented.

Currently supported features are:

• Image style (original size, thumbnail, medium, large, etc)
• Choose a shape path when the Field Roundabout Shapes sub-module is enabled.
• Autoplay on/off
• Autoplay duration
• Pause on hover on/off
• Duration

See the Roundabout and Roundabout Shapes plugin pages for documentation on these settings.

We hope to implement as many of the options as possible and include jQuery Easing, Event.drag and Event.drop support in the future.

Requirements

• Libraries API 7.x-1.x version
• jQuery Roundabout plugin by Fred LeBlanc
• jQuery Roundabout Shapes plugin by Fred LeBlanc is required to use the jQuery Roundabout Shapes sub-module to display different shape patterns.

Similar Modules

• Views Roundabout: Utilizes the Roundabout plugin using Views. Useful if you want a roundabout created from more than one entity. (Views Roundabout can also be used on a multi-value field for a single entity, but as a formatter, Field Roundabout is more efficient for this purpose.)
• Field Slideshow: Creates a field formatter using the jQuery Cycle plugin.
