Introduction to the Rotor Banner

The Rotor Banner module allows you to create blocks with 'rotating' content. This can be very useful for advertising or highlighting information.

  • Multiple rotor blocks
  • Per rotor block configuration
  • Ability to rotate through any content, not just Rotor Items
  • Dedicated 'Rotor Item' content type for easy setup
  • Clickable Rotor tabs
  • Configurable tab position (version 6.x)
  • 25 transition effects (fade, shuffle, zoom, scroll etc.)
  • Pause on hover
  • Random node selection
  • imagecache support
  • nodequeue support

Getting Started:

  1. Upload the module to your sites modules directory and enable it on your Drupal site.
  2. Create rotor items at Create Content -> Rotor Item.
  3. Place the Rotor Banner block into one of your themes regions.
  4. Configure the Rotor banner through the Views UI
  5. Create and configure additional Rotor items through the Views UI

This module is very interesting but let me say something.
The measure in px doesn't accesibility, maybe you should be add another measure since a checkbox for choose it.
I had edit the line at the rotor-view-tpl.php and add this measure at the style.css.
Maybe you can add functionality for the parameter height is out.

Sorry for my english.

Did you read all the documentation? Including the page where I describe how to configure additional rotor baners? Well, actually that page only really describes how to tweek the existing one, but all you need to do is to create a new vew, and set it up the same as the one that came with the module. Or, even simpler, you could just clone the default Rotor view and edit that.

If you need more help, please open a support ticket in the Rotor issue queue.

I understand that I can create additional views that use rotor, but what I dont get is the content type.  If I use the content type that rotor creates then all the images get sent to both views.  If I try to create a new content type, I can't get it to include the "rotor image" section.  So my question, how do I setup a view that has its own rotating images rather then duplicating the already existing rotor images?ThanksBryan
