Views Slideshow not working...

Posted by thepocketgeek on April 20, 2010 at 3:46pm

I created a view that works fine. It displays the image attached to the node, the title and the teaser. Sweet. But when I try to get that same view to display in a slideshow, nothing happens.
It still shows up in a list.
Now I am getting the feeling that I am probably missing a jQuery file in the appropriate place. Has anyone had a similar problem when trying to get Views Slideshow or Views Showcase working?

The only thought I have without seeing it is to make sure the $scripts are being printed in your theme template.

Assuming they are, what javascript files are you seeing included?

Is that in the theme.tpl.php

Posted by thepocketgeek on April 20, 2010 at 5:36pm

Is that in the theme.tpl.php or in the page.tpl.php?

EDIT:

Okay, I saw it in the page.tpl.php inside the tag.

Here are the files called by the tag

<script type="text/javascript" src="/misc/jquery.js?p"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/misc/drupal.js?p"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" defer="defer" src="/sites/all/modules/admin_menu/admin_menu.js?p"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/panels/js/panels.js?p"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/views_slideshow/js/jquery.cycle.all.min.js?p"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/views_slideshow/contrib/views_slideshow_singleframe/views_slideshow.js?p"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/views_slideshow/contrib/views_slideshow_thumbnailhover/views_slideshow.js?p"></script>

No dice

Posted by chrisparsons on April 20, 2010 at 5:52pm

That looks like what should be included... my only other thoughts are possibly a caching issue, but I really doubt that's the solution. Couldn't hurt to try it though.

I'll keep thinking about it in case I can come up with something else it might be.

Okay!

Posted by thepocketgeek on April 20, 2010 at 6:14pm

Thanks. I cleared all of the caches but all I get when I preview the view is a list. I did a view export. Maybe looking at it will help.

EDIT:
Wow... I need to lay off the dummy pills. I loaded the view into a block and created a page to test it on. Worked. Total Duh moment. Thanks for helping...

No worries - we all do that

Posted by chrisparsons on April 20, 2010 at 6:22pm

No worries - we all do that from time to time. Glad it's working!

Just in case some one else does this

Posted by ron_sparks on June 27, 2010 at 2:39am

Okay I was looking through the forums and saw this and well I didn't make the same mistake as thepocketgeek I made an oh duh move and this made me check my settings.

i had the photos grouped ... so check your settings! in the field where i was putting images from cck, so simple :)

Another reason why it wouldn't work...

Posted by chichilatte on October 5, 2011 at 6:52pm

It wasn't working for me, and i figured out eventually that the Views Slideshow module wasn't happy having Chaos Tools module installed. That's Drupal 6.22, Views Slideshow 2.3, CTools 1.8.

Kee-riyst!

Hi I'm new to Drupal and have an existing site www.ecarclub.co.za that has a big image on the homepage thats suppose to be a slideshow. I've used the Advertisment module to load the image and have used the taxonomy slideshow to show it. The problem is that even though i've added two images its not showing up. You'll see on the page it says 1 of 1, when there's two images in the backend assigned to this.

I've checked my settings and both images are published and active.

I'm really at a loss to try and find the issue, any help is much appreciated

Thanks

Does your view's preview show both images, or just one?

Hi Albert, thank you for your reply.

Ensure that you don't have a filter that's blocking the other image.

Tested the filters and doesnt

Posted by dzinergal on November 2, 2011 at 7:04pm

Tested the filters and doesnt look like it...

Correction - i deleted the filter that checks the scheduling to see if its expired = true or false and it's now working.
The images are now showing but the entire page shifts down and up while loading the image, why is this?

Thanks for all the help ;)

Glad you got your source

Posted by Albert Volkman on November 2, 2011 at 7:11pm

Glad you got your source sorted. For the shifting, a lot of people will have it hidden from display until the page fully loads, then update with some js.

Ah, I see what you're talking

Posted by Albert Volkman on November 2, 2011 at 7:14pm

Ah, I see what you're talking about specifically. In your CSS, try adding the following statement-

block-views-advertisement_slideshow-block_1 { height: 500px }

I've added it to my

Posted by dzinergal on November 2, 2011 at 7:52pm

I added it to my views-styles.css and it seems to have stopped the shifting but now it goes behind all my other blocks...? :)

Thank you :)

Sorry, I should have been

Posted by Albert Volkman on November 2, 2011 at 7:55pm

Sorry, I should have been more specific. That is an ID, not a class. So replace your '.' with a '#'.

Thanks its working now :) How

Posted by dzinergal on November 2, 2011 at 7:59pm

Thanks its working now :) How do i hide it till its fully loaded? Its loading it underneath all my other blocks at the moment. Making it look kinda weird

Alright, got it.

Posted by Albert Volkman on November 2, 2011 at 8:48pm

Alright, got it. Set-

block-views-advertisement_slideshow-block_1{height:504px}

Then, in ecar_black.css (line 553), change-

position: static !important

position: absolute !important

i dont understand ...pls solve my problem

What version of Views are you

Posted by Albert Volkman on November 7, 2011 at 1:35pm

What version of Views are you using? Also, more importantly, what version of PHP are you using?

Please move to Forums

Posted by Albert Volkman on November 7, 2011 at 1:51pm

Further, could you please post this question in the Forums (http://drupal.org/forum/22) as this question isn't Florida-specific? Also, it will gain greater visibility and hopefully get you a solution even quicker. If you feel that this is a bug with Views, you can also post an issue in the Views issue queue-

http://drupal.org/project/issues/views

Might be a bug

Posted by stevenator on November 7, 2011 at 4:21pm

Hi there, I was working in a class with views last week and this came up several times. The error is non-fatal and is views way of reporting that the Views Slideshow module needs more info and won't automatically go to the setup detail region that you would expect after selecting it. The view will work though as long as you finish the setup. If you go back up to the Basic Settings in the left column and click the little gear next to the slideshow style, you will get all of the settings you are looking for and that weren't saved to the view during creation.

Just to test, you should just take all the default settings and click update. Either look at the live preview to see that you are getting results (may not rotate as slideshow because you need javascript to load on the page) or save the view and go to the page it is on.

If that works for you, you should be so kind as to look it up in the Views Slideshow issue cue and report it as a bug...

got the solution

Problem with slideshow

Posted by Antony Jekov on September 19, 2012 at 10:19pm

Hello guys,

I have a wierd problem. I am using nodequeue + views slideshow to show 4 audio tracks on my front page. The audio tracks are served by sondmanager2.
Problem is I have 4 tracks, but I get 8 slides, and every other slide is blank. The slide counter sais 1/4 and ends at 8/4?

I am using 4 as a limit for the nodequeue and for the views block and 1 for the slideshow.

Any ideas?

Well, you got everything in

Posted by greta_drupal on September 20, 2012 at 2:55pm

Well, you got everything in there (screenshots) but what I really wanted to see: your contextual filters* and relationships. :-)
[*I see that you have no contextual filters.]

But, it seems that nodequeue # of items is being added to the views # of items for the pager. So, there lies the problem. I don't use Nodequeue, so don't know what config options are available in the views relationship. But, if there is an option there to show pager, disable that.

Try these things to troubleshoot, and report back:

For pager, set that # to the actual number of total slides. Or, set its offset to 4...or really any lower number to see how it affects the pager.

On the slide settings, set the OFFSET to some number lower than actual number of slides.
