Nivo Slider provides an easy and eye-catching way to showcase featured content.

Nivo Slider gives administrators four important tools:

* A simple method of adding slides to the slideshow.
* An administration interface to configure slideshow settings.
* Simple slider positioning using the Drupal block system.
* Integration with the Drupal image system to automatically crop, scale and
style slide images.

REQUIREMENTS
------------

Nivo Slider has eight dependencies, most of which are related to the image
module.

Drupal core modules
* Block
* Field
* Field SQL Storage
* File
* Image
* Menu
* Options

Contributed modules
* Libraries API

INSTALLATION
------------

To install Nivo Slider:

* Copy the Libraries API module to sites/all/modules or sites/sitename/modules
as you require.
* Download the latest version of the Nivo Slider jQuery plugin
(http://nivo.dev7studios.com/pricing/) and extract it to
sites/all/libraries or sites/sitename/libraries as you require. The
extracted folder must be named nivo-slider.
* Enable Nivo Slider and all of the modules that it requires.

PERMISSIONS
------------

Once a user role has access to sub or sibling menus, Submenu Tree becomes
immediately useful.

Submenu Tree provides three permissions:

* Administer submenu tree
Allows a user to configure the display of sub or sibling content and the
default options when editing content.
* Administer submenus
Allows a user to edit sub content options when editing content.
* Administer Siblingmenus
Allows a user to edit sibling content options when editing content.

USAGE
-----

Nivo Slider provides a block which will determine where the slider is placed.

Administrators or users with the Administer Nivo Slider permission will be able
to configure slider settings by visiting the Structure administration page.

Nivo Slider provides two configuration pages: slides and options.
* Slides
The slides page provides an interface for managing the content of the
slider. Slider content can be given a title or description, made into a
link, reordered or restricted to displaying on a specific path.
* Options
The options page provides an interface for configuring the slider. Slider
options include general options, transitions and navigation.
