Better documentation #1

Open argiepiano opened 4 hours ago

Thanks for putting together this module. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use it. Can you please post more detailed documentation, or perhaps an example of how to configure the View to create a slider block? The github Wiki may be a good place for this.

OK, these are some pointers for someone looking to make this work:

  1. Create a content type that contains only an Image field (the slider image to be displayed). You may also want to turn off "Display author and date information" in the content type configuration.
  2. Edit the Default display mode for the content type, or create a new one, that only shows the image field
  3. Create content with photos to be displayed.
  4. Create a view. Select "Block" (not "Page") for the content type you created above, and select TinySlider in format. Show: Content | Full content (or another display mode you created in 2 above).
  5. Play with the Settings for the slider
  6. Place the block in any layout, for example, Home, or Default layout

That's it.
