Is it also possible to use two view_name at the same time for the advanced dynamic display block slideshow?

Yes! it is possible to use two view names. Normally when using more views for ddblock content we use two separate if statements in the preprocess functions. You also need to change the view_name and field names in the example files to the view_name and field names you use in order for the slideshow to work. After you make your new view you need to: • Enable the view for the dynamic display block module. • Create a ddblock instance for the view • Configure the ddblock instance • Adjust both preprocess functions in the template.php file • Replicate the if statement of the first view (probably the news-items view) • Rename news_items to your view name • Uncomment the drupal_set_message lines • Place ddblock instance on a page/region • The result of the drupal_set_message lines tell you what fieldnames CCK has generated • Adjust the field_names • Reload the page • Comment the drupal_set_message debug lines again If this does not help, please make an issue in the issue queue and send a copy
