Sequential presentation of any of your site nodes, utilizing user chosen effects based on ajax asynchronous calls.
Why?
Indeed there are plenty of slideshow modules out there. So why creating one more?
We had to provide a good answer for the following requirements:
* Show a series of content items as slides using transition effect.
* Allow the user to navigate across slides using tabs and/or navigational buttons.
* Allow the content manager (non admin role) to fully control the contents & layout of each slide.
* Allow the content manager to easily publish / unpublish the slides and set their order of appearance.
* Allow the content manager to set the slides intervals, transition intervals and other slideshow relevant settings.
* Ensure the performance is content-agnostic i.e. allow the slideshow content to grow (number of slides and their weight) without impacting the slideshow page load time.
We could not find a module which fully suffice the above requirements (see comparison). Hence Ajax Slideshow was born.
