Hi there -

Our Cabaret team is working with a designer to get their website ready for their next season. They were hoping to use Flex Slider to set up a rotating banner image where the images were clickable to go to their shows.

The current site is still in Drupal 6. We learned that Flex Slider is only for Drupal 7. Is there an equivalent module for Drupal 6 that they could try? Any help you can give us would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

You can use Views slideshow. There are instructions for how to do this here http://d6-support.yale.edu/books/drupal-how-guide/creating-header-banner…

You will need to add a URL field to create the link, then on this page in the view http://d6-support.yale.edu/books/drupal-how-guide/creating-header-banner…, #7, you will need to build out a link using <a href=”[token with link or url]”>[field_image_data]</a>

You can also download a sample content type and view to import http://d6-support.yale.edu/books/drupal-how-guide/rotating-banners
