Hi,
I transferred all the contents from 'localhost' to remote server.

Now I can see my header, drop down in left sidebar as designed and as intended.
ONLY I CANT SEE SLIDESHOW AS INTENDED!

Instaed of slideshow with slides on each image, I see all images in slideshow apprearing to be one below another....
(please see screenshot)

I did necesssary settings in settings.php (for db_url) , tranferred complete database correctly to remote database.
transferred all drupal folder (with all directories files: themes, modules. .htaccess files). I think, all foders, modules tranferred properly. I read some comments so I disabled and again enabled ddblock module. but No gain!!!!

Note: This Advance DDblock slidehow still working perfectly on localhost (on local pc)

Dont know where did I go wrong. Isthere any specific setting that needs to be done when on remote site but not on local site?
(Please check screenshot showing my slideshow messed up!)

Also checked other similar issues but cant locate the solution for this... so posting it here.. thanks in adv.!

First you can try to clear the cache at administer > site configuration > performance.

When this does not help, maybe you used the block display of the view, instead of the dynamic display block instance of the block display.

After changing to the dynamic display block instance again clear the cache if necessary.

Do you have a link to the Internet site?

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Hi,

I really appreciate your prompt response.

I checked clearing cache today around 20 times by now... so I dont think thats going to help.

Considering second solution: yes, that might be the case.
but I dint get what it means by 'using instance'? I created ddblock, view also in settings page created instance..
thats why I can see "views-news item slideshow" in my blocks list and I enabled it...

So after creating instance, does it need to do anything else than this?
Thanks once again!

When you followed the tutorial you have made a view news_item and a block display "News item slideshow"
Then you create a ddblock instance of this block display and called it: "ddblock-News item slideshow"

You need to use this "ddblock-News item slideshow" ddblock instance instead of the block display "News item slideshow"
The block display "ddblock-News item slideshow" should also be in the list with disabled blocks.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

right. I understand what you are saying but am unable to locate that "instance" in my list.
the steps you said, are followed by me.

so you mean to say these both 'things': "ddblock-News item slideshow" with block diaply and the instance "ddblock-News item slideshow": are both available in blocks list?

but I can only see only one "ddblock-News item slideshow" which I enabled. (I mean I dont see two seperate things like block display and instance in my list)

thanks.

Hi ,

I mean to say, upto creating instance everything is ok.. bit confusion after that..
I dont see two different things like 'instance' and 'block display' in my list? how to identify that?
thanks. sorry for asking again.

The instance would have ddblock in the link when you click on the configure link in the blocks configuration page: http://sitename/admin/build/block/configure/ddblock/1

Did you also install the ddblock themes and did you add the preprocess functions to the template.php file?
Do you have a link to the Internet site?

yes when i click "configure" link for that block, it takes me to following configuration page as you told:
admin/build/block/configure/ddblock/2 -> this is the link i see when it goes to configuration page..
where i select necessary custom template, custom pager etc...

yes i downloaded themes for ddblock (upright 10, upright20,.... ,upright50 etc). you mean these right?
using upright40. that exists in custom folder of my zen theme.. (same location as that of my localhost /local account)
also added preprocess functions same as I added on my localhost site...

also thing is I checked all files./settings by exactly one by one basis and compared evrything to my localhost i.e. local account...
On localhost slideshow is sucessfully running!!! but on remote server it doesnt. :(

I compared view settings, block specific settings they are all same to that of my localhost account.
but still it does not work on remote server.

thanks.

Can you attach your template.php file, the result of the debug lines when uncommented and a link to the site?

Have exact same issue with my site. Have been using ddblock (modest-grey40p) without issue for almost a year. I recently upgraded the local site to 6.2, created a few posts and pushed the site to the production site. FTP'd entire drupal site to production, overwriting the production folder, as I have done before. Now the localhost site is exactly as I would like it to look and the production site is a hot mess. The images are stacked outside the container, similar to the way sam's images are displayed in his post.
No settings are different, db and directories are the same with the exception of the settings.php file entries for the db. I've flushed caches, ftp'd over and over replacing the themes folder, then all folders, to no avail. Any idea what is happening?

Philip -
appreciate you getting back to me so quickly.
I uncommented the drupal_set_message in the template file, did not see any output on the production site, I do on the local version.
Site is http://bit.ly/i9hdvF

Regards,

Bill

I see the error:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)
http://cadentgroup.com/v1/sites/all/themes/psd2css/custom/modules/ddbloc...

This is a permission issue on the server, drupal is not allowed to read the file.
You need to give permissions to read the file on the server.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

#13 Your readmore-hover button has the same problem

/v1/sites/all/themes/psd2css/custom/modules/ddblock/images/readmore-hover.png

A tip:
I would keep the slidetext always in the front (not fading in and out).
You can do this by setting the slidetext container to div.slide-text1 instead of div.slide-text

Hope this helps you further.

Title: Advance DDblock Slideshow does not work just after transferring the site to remote server... works fine on localhost.. » Somewhat similar problem

I have been trying to implement the dd block slideshow on my site. However it's not even working on my localhost properly. I have followed the tutorial exactly but all my images are being presented one after the other similar to the previous problem except not on actual site but on localhost.

Please help me fix this, I have followed the tutorial to the word.

I don't have a link to the site, the site is not up but I've attached a word file with images.

What I did differently is, under the blocks region I enabled "Instance title" which is the name I gave to my dd block view instance (to differentiate clearly). When I enabled that all i got was a line that said Instance Title in the region no pictures nothing. Then I enabled the block "News Item slideshow", that's when the images and slider text... showed up but of course not as a slideshow.

Do you see a javascript error at the page, when the instance is enabled?
