I’m using Expression Engine to manage my site (http://jamminjava.com).  I want to create a slideshow with a images sized 500x320px and short descriptions. 

- The image should link to specific weblog entries such as http://jamminjava.com/home/events/marcus-foster
- The slides should also expire form the slideshow at a certain time. 
- You can see an example of what i am trying to do here: http://highlineballroom.com/ 
- We are already uploading the images I’d like to use to weblog entries such as http://jamminjava.com/home/events/marcus-foster

I hope this makes sense!

I am using version 1.6.8 but could potentially upgrade if needed.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Luke,

There are plenty of ways you can build this out in ExpressionEngine. One good solution would be to Pixel & Tonic’s Matrix. It’s still available for ExpressionEngine 1 and provides you with a path to upgrade to EE 2 easily.

Since you are running 1.6.8, I would encourage you to update to ExpressionEngine 1.7.2, the latest release.

If you would like to get the broader input of the Community, I’d be happy to move this into Community Help!

Cheers,

thanks Dan. is there a free solution you can point me too?

thanks.

Hi Luke,

How about Image Directory Gallery? There might be a solution you can build using that.

Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Cheers,
