-- NODE GALLERY SLIDESHOW -- SUMMARY ------- The node_gallery_slideshow module extends the Node Gallery module 3.x branch with a simple jquery based slideshow. It uses the API of node gallery to retrieve images and their related information and is intended to be an easy-to-install and integrated solution specifically for node gallery. You don't need to create or adapt Views, or download additional jquery libraries. Everything required is contained in the project, and the code is small and concise. After enabling the module, Gallery nodes will show an additional tab for slideshows, Image nodes will contain a link in the Node Gallery navigator to start a slideshow starting at this node. Because this module is integrated with Node Gallery, it does not require that all images are already attached to the DOM, like most other slideshow modules. It retrieves the image information per JSON requests and creates and attaches the HTML elements on demand, keeping memory requirements small for the client. If desired, the module can preload a specified number of images.

Also have a look at the included stylesheet. The default markup offers IDs for all fundamental parts of the slideshow, e.g.: #node-gallery-slideshow (a div around the whole slideshow) #node-gallery-slideshow-controls (the
