Supersized is a fullscreen background slideshow built using the jQuery library.

More information at BuildInternet Supersized.

This module requires:

The Supersized 3.2.7 library is available here. The 3.2.7 version is required and should be extracted in /sites/all/libraries/supersized so that the path /sites/all/libraries/supersized/slideshow exists.

Typical usage:

  • Create a content type, bg_images, with an image field.
  • Create a new view of the 'content' type with an output of 'block'.
    • Limited the view to your new custom content type, bg_images.
    • Have the view only output the image field.
    • Set view to use JQFX as the display mode & configure Supersized options.
  • Save your view and enable your block on the page(s) needed.

It is recommended (not necessary) that you setup the view as a block, and then add a region to the bottom of your code for the block to live in. However, it should work in just about any region that isn't set to 'overflow: hidden;'.

Please Note: By default supersized uses a very low (negative) z-index to make sure that the images are indeed in the background. Therefore if your theme (including Garland) uses a full window page wrapper with a background, you will not be able to see your images.
