I am loving the Carousel module, but I have one small feature request. Could you find it in your heart to add the option to designate a starting column other than column 1? I'm not sure how difficult that would be, or if there's another way, but here's a scenario:

I have a photo club that has a contest every month. The winner of the contest ends up on the home page in the Carousel with the older ones behind it, so the newest winner (column 1) is the first thing people see when they go to the site. Right now I would have to move all the code in the rest of the columns over each month to put the newest winner in the first column. If there is any easier way to do this, I'd absolutely love to hear about it. I see so much potential for this module and with this one added features, even more.

Thanks again for all the great templates!

Hello

The only solution I can think of that is possible with this module is to reverse the carousels displayed. This way the first carousel displayed will be the last entered. You can do this by adding the following to your modules default.php (../modules/mod_j51carousel/tmpl/default.php)...


// Reverse array

rsort($image_ref);


You can add this just after the following (approx. line 67)...


// Toggle Shuffle Images

$image_cnt = count ($image_ref);

if ($j51_randomize ) {

		shuffle ($image_ref);

}
