its not that hard, its probbably better if you do it in javascript (jQuery())

Found exactly what I was looking for on Professor Cloud:

Cloud Carousel - a jQuery 3d carousel plugin

http://www.professorcloud.com/mainsite/index.htm...

Excellent stuff!

Hi, I am resurrecting this thread in the hope you can help me, I'm implementing a Cloud Carousel into one of my c5 sites at the moment and though it works fine (basically hard-coded in) the client would like to be able to go in and change the images.

How did you implement the carousel on your site profp?

Would I need to build a custom block? (Not something I've done yet, though I have made minor tweaks to blocks in the past...) Can someone suggest a good starting point?

Thanks very much for any tips

Jordanlev has a standard starting point for gallery blocks that is open on Github with instructions on his blog.

You can probably do most of what you want by taking that and putting the script for your carousel in the view.

You could also use the file set list block (free add-on). I posted a thumbnail template for it on the block's own forum. Again, this makes an easy starting point for adding your own script to put up a carousel of the images listed by the block.

Thanks John! And thanks to 1db who pointed me in the direction of the Designer Content add-on, which did probably 95% of the coding for me. Only took a few tweaks to the view.php and edit.php code that Designer Content produced, and I have a block that does pretty much exactly what I wanted. Brilliant!
