Hi,

i guess, you need to solve two issues:
1. Wrap-Around:
Loading the first image, after the last image ist shown. I think, that shouldn't be too hard, as the current template grays out the "next"-button, when you are at the last image; so you can re-use that code.

2. Auto-Forwarding after n seconds:
Actually, this is what most user (and customers) expect from a "slideshow". If you solve this, it should make its way into the ez distribution ;)
I'd try these things:
2a: Redirect the browser using a javascript, which waits n seconds and the overrides the location of the current window. This will load the next page. But it need JS.
2b: Have a look at the new eZpublish features, which allow a template to modify the HTTP headers, which are sent with the page. I _think_ you can achieve the loading of the next page with HTTP headers (redirect-to, including a delay). If this works, it would be better, as it does not rely on JS code, which is always a pain. Unfortunately, i didn't find a link for that feature right now, but i'm sure, i read about it somewhere ;)

Maybe this helps
