Does someone know any way to present a slideshow in content?
I am loking for a stable way to present some kind of sldeshow in a column wen i have several fotos for a news.
Look at this examples:
Slideshowpro integrated in a cms, loading images form a xml file
Some kind of JS script lading images from the article with prev/next at cnn.com
JS Slideshow in a popup at bbcnews
Another example, in nytimes
The easy solution would be a swf loading images from a xml file, but putting this by hand in the article code woul be lot of work and a danger in the future.
Some kind of easy solution for this would be a must have in joomla, i woul gladly pay 50USD+ for a more reliable image solution for J! - twitter.com/ruigato

Fadded images its very limited... (at least for the result i wanted)
Slidemambot from xe-media is also a good solution for small sites, but i dont want to put mambot tags in 100+ articles a month. Unfortunately, its very usual to be released very good scripts and all of the sudent dev stops. I'm sure almost all people saw old mambot tags in some J! or "M" sites.
Using the regular mosimage bot, i'm secure im wont have backcompatibylity problems (at least 90% j! + mambo sites uses this).
LightThumb its probably a good solution:
-It uses mosimage tag
-the slideshow is made with the same alt tag in the bot
The only cons i see are:
The thumb images are created in the mambot directory, if we unpublish the mambot and revert to the defalt mosimage bot, the images referenced in articles are the big ones and not the tumbs and the content structure will break. So in a site with up to 10 slideshows the solution is simple, but in a big site dificult to update the images articles.
The thing i'm realy looking for is a mosimage compatible replacement that uses mosimages defenitions to output something like Joomlart's regulus header image.
Maybee a bood idea for a paid component:
- Check the same alt in mosimage to make the slideshows
- possibily use mosimage captions to make slideshow captions
- new parameters in bot like slideshow styling - twitter.com/ruigato
