How to show fid with slideshow image

Question

I have very specific requirement. I want to show images in slideshow. I have created content type "User Slideshow Snaps" and two fields

• Slideshow Snaps
• Node Id

I want to show slieshow of images in field Slideshow Snaps which belongs to Node Id passed in URL.

The slideshow is working perfectly and I have used Modules Views Slideshow & Views Slideshow: Cycle for this.

Now I want to link Slideshow to external page which will pass FID of current image in slideshow like this:-

But I am facing problem in passing fid of clicked image in slideshow. This configuration is always passing FID of first image in slideshow even if user clicked on 8th image in slideshow.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

You may use views template files. If your view name is gallery and it's machine name is block_0 then in your theme folder create a file and name it views-view-fields--gallery--block-0.tpl.php.

There are two fields in the content type, an image with the machine name field_image and a text that is address of some where else with the machine name field_link.

In the views-view-fields--gallery--block-0.tpl.php file the following variables are available

1. $fields['field_image']->content;
2. $fields['field_link']->content;

To create a slideshow like this

with a string on it you can easily use html tags and css absolute positions to set the string on the image. Anyway you can display it in any way you want. Don't forget to clear the cache.

1. Try creating view for files entities (not for nodes).
2. Add relationship to parent node
3. Add contextual filter for node id using "relationship to parent node"
