This post explains about creating slideshow in drupal. There are many ways and plugins available to create slideshow in drupal and I am going to discuss some methods which will be very efficient and useful.

1) Using Views slideshow module

2) Using jQuery cSlider plugin

3) Using Bootstrap carousel

1. Using Views slideshow module:

The modules required for this method are:

  1) Views

  2) Views slideshow

  3) jQuery cycle plugin ( Download here and place it at sites/all/libraries/jquery.cycle/)

Enable the added modules. To create views slideshow, create a new content type for instance "Slideshow" with an image field which can be used as slideshow image.

Add multiple slideshow nodes with images. Then, we have to create a view block with slideshow content. Select "slideshow" as required format and configure transition effect in the Settings link.

After saving this view, place this view block at neccessary region at admin/structure/blocks.

2. Using jQuery cSlider plugin:

1) You can download this plugin from here. There is also a demo file in this plugin which can be used as a reference.
