Textpattern's homepage Slideshow and assorted contraptions
Does anybody know how that gorgeous slideshow in the homepage was achieved?
Was it a custom job or did it used some existing/available plugin?
And what about the sliding blocks in the left column?
And, once again, I would like to congratulate the developers for having created this beautiful site!

/*
* jQuery Cycle Plugin (with Transition Definitions)
* Examples and documentation at: http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/
*/Markup required for the slideshow can be done with any of the main gallery plugins, with current changeset or with out plugin, expecially in TXP.com’s case where all images are all the time same.
Next, previous and the speeddial links toggle cycle’s pagination events.

Definitely recommend jQuery’s Cycle plugin – and it’s very flexible and easy to implement so can be used for a wide range of uses, not just slideshows.
I’m also liking this (non jQuery) script and am using it in my next TXP project.

I implemented the slideshow. The basic slideshow functionality is just jQuery.cycle. The little pager boxes and the speed dial functionality was custom, but like Gocom said they just fire off the pagination functions.
The expando boxes are custom but it’s just coordinating built in jQuery stuff.
Happy to help if you have any questions about it.
