This plugin is used to extend the administrator table to add user address fields.

NOTE: You must run setup after enabling or disabling this plugin to cause changes to
be made to the database. (Database changes should not be made on an active site.
You should close the site when you run setup.) If you disable the plugin all data

An adaption of the jQuery Cycle2 script.

The theme file slideshow.php is required witin your theme's folder.
A slideshow.css is optional. Required special css should best be incorporated into the theme's css.
