I have just started using Display Suite and have the following problems:
- In Modules when I click "Configure" it takes me to "admin/structure" and I don't see DS listed there anywhere.
- In "Content type/Manage fields" I tried using 2 column-stacked, the only one available, and when I TRY to move fields to any region, NOTHING happens.
- In "Content type/Manage display" I tried "Add custom field" and when I select any one of them, I get "An AJAX HTTP error occurred.
HTTP Result Code: 200"
Any ideas how to get around these problems???
Thanks.

Your jquery/ajax/magic stuff
Your jquery/ajax/magic stuff seems to be messy. You can look in firebug or any other devtool for script errors and such things. Most likely you are using different libraries which interfere with each other. Are you using jquery update or other modules with suspicious names? They are most likely the reason for this.
Or you didn't install the module correctly. And of course before doing anything else: flush the caches and see if the problem persists.
edit: are we talking D6 or D7 here?
Thanks for the info
I'm using D7.
All of the modules I'm using came from Drupal so don't see any suspicious names. As far as doing the install, I just let Drupal do it so it should have been done correctly.
I cleared the cache and then DS and other modules showed up.
Do you know where I can find info on using firebug? I seem to keep getting Ajax errors.
I'm coming from a Visual Studio/VB environment where I can just drag and drop fields so it is taking some getting used to using Drupal & PHP. Just found the "Arrange Fields" module and that seems to do the trick of what I'm trying to do.
Thanks again.
Showing nodes in Colorbox
Hi,
I use display suite to manage my displays.- I´ve one node type with entity reference fields.- With DS I show these fields as links. So far everything is OK, but now I want to have the same behaviour, as with images: if I click on the link, the node should be opened in a colorbox.
do you have an idea, how to manage this?
thanks!!
best,
frank
jquery_update may be your AJAX-affecting problem
I found that the jQuery Update (module) causes many, many AJAX errors, but not all of them, and ultimately only a few unused modules of my hundreds of uploaded modules require it, so try disabling jquery_update if you have it installed and enabled. Doing so allowed panels AJAX to work again but at times I do still get some AJAX errors though they may be server timeouts or RAM-ceiling hits.

Similar issue but unique to hosting environment
Drupal 7, DS 7.15 AND 7.20 (I've tried both).
First, DS works, the fields and Custom Block Fields all show up.
BUT, I have set up the website (8 custom content types, 40 fields per type, up to 200 Custom Block fields in DS) on 3 different hosts and on my dev server.
On iPage and my dev server, I can do anything. At Hostpapa and another host, I am unable to modify any field on my "Manage Display" page. The "throbber" spins for literally 24 hours. Or, the widget gear throbs for 15 seconds, and then reverts to no change.
I am even unable to change the display format aaway from DS - that is, I cannot change the display from 2-col stacked to "none". Simply put - no changes allowed. BUT, only at on 2 hosts - the other host and dev server, it is fine.
All sites use exactly the same code and drupal modules and database - all mirrored and duplicated.
Disabling jquery-update changes nothing. I am told (hah!) by "support" that i have the same php memory available at all hosts (128MB), and the php.ini settings are the same for all (memory and time).
I just don't get it. Any experienced advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
