The module uses the player dewslider of alsacreation and modules image, image_gallery and taxonomy. Diaporama is a content, so it’s created like an article or a page (called node). It uses node’s properties.
An administration interface allows you to change defaults values of player’s properties, and each slideshow have it owns properties. Properties and images’s diaporama are shared in the drupal’s database, but player uses xml. I choose xml rather url because xml allows to show titles in slideshow and not url.

So at the creation of slideshow, modifications are done both in database and in xml file. Of course, when viewing the slideshow, only xml file is used.

INSTALLATION
I use drupal 5, so the module is only for this version. I will update it for drupal 6 when I will have installe it.
To install, extract the archive in sites/all/modules and add it in your modules via the administration interface.
As has been said before, you will need the image modules, image_gallery (available here) and taxonomy.
You have to download dewslider too (I use version 5) and put it in files/diaporamas repertory.
