The back-end looks very well designed... I'm curious though about where the slideshow would be on my home page... is it a fixed position in the center column above the 'latest products' or will we be able to choose any location?
I would like to place the banner on the right side of a two-column table... is this possible?
Would be great if we could see a demo of what the front-end looked like.

To insert into your own template, just grab the code from the default template home.tpl file provided and then put it in your template where you want it to appear.
If you need the slideshow in the header, or just after the navigation, then you'll need to grab the code from both the home.php and the home.tpl files.
Yep, the admin section is tight - if you're a coder, then look at the source of the admin tpl files to see what tinkering you can do to make it work the way you want. You'll see that I'm already planning enhancements by the parts I've commented out.
I 'locked' this module to use images for now, because I've made it for a few users that are non-techies, but you can easily insert any content and it will still display as a slideshow

Only one picture and it doesn't move. I put it on the homepage.
Also the sort order doesn't work in the admin. It stays on "0".
What can I do??

I had a small problem though - In Admin, whatever value I enter in 'Speed' gets ignored and it take the value of 'Delay'.
I changed slideshow_delay to slideshow speed in:
admin/view/template/module/homepageslideshow.tpl
at:
<td><select name="slideshow_speed">
<?php if (isset($slideshow_speed)) {
$selected = "selected";
?>
<option value="1000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='1000'){echo $selected;} ?>>1000</option>
<option value="2000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='2000'){echo $selected;} ?>>2000</option>
<option value="3000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='3000'){echo $selected;} ?>>3000</option>
<option value="4000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='4000'){echo $selected;} ?>>4000</option>
<option value="5000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='5000'){echo $selected;} ?>>5000</option>
<option value="6000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='6000'){echo $selected;} ?>>6000</option>
<option value="7000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='7000'){echo $selected;} ?>>7000</option>
<option value="8000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='8000'){echo $selected;} ?>>8000</option>
<option value="9000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='9000'){echo $selected;} ?>>9000</option>
<option value="10000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='10000'){echo $selected;} ?>>10000</option>
The save then works okay but it doesn't seem to take much notice of the values even if I hardcode then in:
catalog/view/theme/default/template/module/homepageslide.tpl
eg.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#slideshow1').cycle({
delay: 7000,
speed: 3000,
pause: true
});

In catalog/view/theme/default/template/module/homepageslide.tpl
I think:
delay: <?php echo $delay; ?>,
Should be:
timeout: <?php echo $delay; ?>,

delay: <?php echo $delay; ?>,
Uses $delay to set the delay before the first transition
timeout: <?php echo $delay; ?>,
Uses $delay to set the delay between transitions (which is what I was expecting).
