#Slideshow block
###This block creates a slideshow that will appear in the heading section of a course page or front page.
It works with all core Moodle Themes except "Clean" due to an issue with the theme's ability to load Jquery correctly (MDL-41516)
**Update** With the release of Moodle 2.5.2, MDL-41516 has been fixed and this block will work with Clean theme.
**Tested with:**
* Afterburner
* Anomaly
* Arialist
* Binarius
* Boxxie
* Brick
* Formal White
* FormFactor
* Fusion
* Leatherbound
* Magazine
* Nimble
* Nonzero
* Overlay
* Serenity
* Sky High
* Splash
* Standard
(it may work with some third party themes, but most likely not with any bootstrap based theme due to [MDL-41516](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-41516). If you have a third party theme and it doesn't work, send me a link to your site and I will update the code.)
**Installation:**
Download, extract, and upload the "Slideshow" folder into moodle/blocks
**Global Configuration:**
* Set maximum number of slides in a slideshow
* Set maximum file size of slides
**Instance Configuration:**
* Title - Set title of slideshow (leave blank to hide block's heading)
* Height - Sets height of slideshow and images **NOTE** this block will not rescale image files, it will only change the display size
* Transition - Choose from various slide transitions (some are a bit clunky, but most work well)
* Delay - Sets the time for which a single slide is displayed
* Background color - Clicking in this textbox triggers a colorpicker
* Transparent - Clicking this overrides the background color setting and makes the background transparent
* Image selector - Will only accept gif, jpg, or png files
