I take it you have gone through the installation instructions at http://ddblock.myalbums.biz/installation or http://ddblock.myalbums.biz/node/749 for advanced slideshow. If you are using a wysiwig editor like CKEditor, you have to disable it for the node you are building the DDL block. You will also use the css files to change the look of it, i.e. width, height, colors and font styles.

Can you be more specific

Can you be more specific about what the problem is?

Went thru the installation

Went thru the installation instructions and followed these tutorials: http://ddblock.myalbums.biz/tutorial
Advanced slideshow tutorial: http://ddblock.myalbums.biz/node/747.

Under site config/dd block I created a block. Under config image type is image folder, image folder is sites/default/files/images/ddblock. This folder (ddblock) contains the images to be used.

Go to settings, select banner under content type, under blocks not sure what to check, nothing seems right. Go to page specific visibility, select show on only listed pages, enter . Go to site building/blocks, enable dd block on right and then tried content bottom. After all this I have no images. Hopefully this is enough info for someone to help me out. Thanks in advance.

Basic settings of ddblock module using image folder.

When your images are in the folder sites/default/files/images/ddblock and your default filepath is set to sites/default/files you would need to set the setting folder to:

images/ddblock

to make the images show up.

The folder setting is relative to the default file path.

When you post issues about module in the issue queue of the module you will probably get quicker answers.
Just found this issue by a search.

Hope this helps you further.

from my experience

Just to clarify, you used "banner" instead of "news item" as your content type? You have also changed it in the pre-process functions in the theme template.php file? Have you tried to make the "drupal set message" visible to see what might not be working?
