Hello:

This is a follow up my last post and thank you, beng you were correct about jcarousel/view carousel it works with text. I am stuck at a problem (picture) the carousel loads 'node: title by title'. When I click on the right button I would like to display maybe 'most recent topics' and when I click on the left button it goes back to 'node: title by title'.

I have tried create a two blocks when block for 'node: title by title' and the other block for 'most recent topics'. I have also tried to import another view, but both of these do not work.

If this is possible? Maybe, there is some coding to do or something I over looked.

Hi,

> When I click on the right button ... and when I click on the left button

Do you mean the left and right mouse buttons, or do you mean the left and right arrows shown in your screenshot?

If it's mouse buttons ... you're looking at some very custom javascript and special Views integration code. However, the behaviour is also something I'd not recommend because of usability and accessibility issues.

What I mean are the left and right arrows. When I click on the right arrow I would like to display maybe 'most recent topics' and when I click on the left arrow it goes back to 'node: title by title'.

Arrows

The arrows are designed to allow users to scroll through more content than can be seen in the block; for example, if the block is set up to show three items at a time, but there are ten items in the list, then clicking on the arrows allows users to scroll the items so they can view the rest of the items in the list.

But if you want the arrows to change the view to a completely different list -- then that is way beyond the scope of what Views Carousel can do; you'd probably need a custom module written for you.

News_designer is right.

News_designer is right. You'll need some custom javascript and Views integration code to do this switching as you've described. I very much doubt there is a module out there that does exactly as you want.

Thank you, News_Designer and beng for your posts.

This is going to be a project, indeed. Hopefully, I can get this going.

Cheers,
