This is a pretty simple example that illustrates the use of Lightbox2's slideshow feature. In the example, we have an imagefield that allows an unlimited number of images. We only want to render an imagecache version of the first image which, when clicked, will provide a slideshow with the rest of the images in the field. In the example, our field is called "field_product_images".

Many components in Drupal have an optional title or description field. This text usually displays when a user hovers over an item. We had an interesting request: a client wanted to have a box that displayed text which would change every time you roll over a menu item. This can be accomplished using just a small amount of jQuery, and Drupal's built-in menu handling. The menu system in Drupal can handle descriptions on each menu item, however you have to do this through the menu admin.

You'll be editing (and un-commenting if necessary) your theme's preprocess_page function. This basically lets you modify the variables that are available in your page.tpl.php file(s).
