[D7] Views jQFX

This is great James, only I cannot seem to get D7 to enable it. I've tried putting the unzipped directories in sites/all/modules/custom sites/all/modules/ sites/all/modules/views I checked the permissions, tried to see a loose wire in your code but my understanding is still pretty thin.
I cannot see the modules listed in /admin/modules and so I cannot enable them.

I'm probably missing something stupidly obvious.

Well that's what I thought so I just tried installing your modules on one of my VPS accounts:

drupal-7.0/sites/all/modules/custom$ ls -la
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 7 user user 4096 2011-02-02 16:18 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 user user 4096 2011-02-02 20:51 ..
drwxr--r-- 2 user user 4096 2011-02-02 16:17 views_jqfx
drwxr--r-- 3 user user 4096 2011-02-02 16:17 views_jqfx_cycle
drwxr--r-- 5 user user 4096 2011-02-02 16:18 views_jqfx_galleria
drwxr--r-- 5 user user 4096 2011-02-02 16:18 views_jqfx_imageflow
drwxr--r-- 4 user user 4096 2011-02-02 16:17 views_jqfx_nivoslider

Everything looks right, but they don't show up in the Drupal 7 Modules install page. I can install other modules OK. I even went as far as to write my own test info file and that shows up.

Hello. I just tried installing this, and got it working.. But i somehow get a php error:

Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in template_preprocess_views_jqfx_nivoslider() (line 23 of /Users/benjamin/Sites/slidertest/sites/all/modules/views_jqfx_nivoslider/theme/views_jqfx_nivoslider.theme.inc).

Im bad at php, so could you help me solve this?

Nice thanks for the quick reply. I look forward for the function to link the different slides to nodes.

Great work James thanks for all your work. I will test it out and let you know how I go.

wow very good work!
maybe git solves your problems :)

Hi there,

I just installed your module (Nivo Slider) and it is working great, also after installing the patch for Chrome. I really like the way it works and would like to see some further development on it in the future. It would be great to have a feature where it is possible to give each slide/captation/image an extra link, so that it'll be possible to redirect users to different locations (maybe via CCK Link?). I know it is possible to add an overall link, but thats just a solution for the moment (for me).

Anyway, thanks for all your work and I hope to see more from you in the future. :)

Kind regards,

YuCom

Okay,

just found a problem, and I dunno where it is coming from. The Slider shows up as intended in Chrome. But after refreshing the page the slider disappears (only the formating and the images, the navigation "dots" and the title is still visible and it is also running) . I have to flush the cache to get it back. It only happens after refreshing the page in the browser, but not if you visit the page by typing in the url/or by using a menu link.

Not quite sure where this is coming from, and also not if it is a problem with me or with drupal/nimo slider. As mentioned before I applied the patch to display images correct in Chrome.

Any idea? I am using Chrome 10.x (Beta).

Thanks in advance,

YuCom

Thanks James, I've had this working nicely on my localhost this morning. I'll be interested to see how it develops. Hope you figure out the CVS/Git stuff with drupal.org

Hi. Please read all the following and the links provided as this is very important information about your CVS Application:

Drupal.org has moved from CVS to Git! This is a very significant change for the Drupal community and for your application. Please read the following documentation on how this affects and benefits you and the application process:
Migrating from CVS Applications to (Git) Full Project Applications

• The status of this application will be put to "postponed" and by following the instructions in the above link, you will be able to reopen it.
• Or if your application has been "needs work" for more than 5 weeks, your application will be marked as "closed (won't fix)". You can still reopen it, by reading the instructions above.

Guys,

The Cloud Carousel is already existed for Drupal as 3D Views Carousel :)
Any patches are welcome for Drupal 7 port.

#24
Saw a temporary solution across the web.
If you "inspect element" slider in Chrome (after refresh), you'll notice the slider's actually collapsed with width: 0 and height: 0, so to get it not to collapse, modify the nivo-slider.css's class of:

.nivoSlider {
	position:relative;
	min-width: ?px; // to be the same width and height as your original banner
	min-height: ?px;
}

It might be Chrome's cache, but I have no idea how to really solve it other than doing the above =(

#24
I made two blocks of nivo slider with different set of images, only then noticed the .class CSS changes made affect all sliders on site.
So I modify it's id by "inspect element" of the div container to check the id number (as per shown in the module of views_jqfx_nivoslider, under theme/views-jqfx-nivoslider.tpl.php)
Then include a CSS of the #id, e.g.:

#views-jqfx-nivoslider-images-? {
	min-height: ?px;
	min-width: ?px;
}

I've applied the patch earlier, same as Yucom at #24.
But it doesn't seem to solve the browser refresh problem, image styles are still 0px.

Actually, with or without the patch, slider's image styles still load on the initial page load, problem occurs only on page refresh.

Thanks.

Thank you actually for integrating this beautiful neat module.
Everything on your site demo is fine, even after a page refresh on Chrome beta 10.

I've checked every single element after I made a same duplicate as your demo, whether page view or block.
The worst thing now is I think it's my own (#24 Yucom didn't follow up so I've no idea of his/her status) Drupal problem/localhost thing or what not, since the page-refreshing issue will not go away.

I am fairly new to Drupal and am working on a Drupal7 site that will utilize Nivo Slider. I thought a straightforward way to do it was to call the nivo scripts via the .info file and place the Nivo slideshow code in a block (I don't get why a module would be required for something that should be so simple). Problem is, there seems to be a conflict—by process of elimination I identified the drupal.js as the culprit—if I comment drupal.js out (using source) or temporarily remove it from misc/ the slideshow runs as expected. I'm not sure what critical functions drupal.js provides, but I'm sure removing it is a bad idea. Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Tom

I think this is postponed until the code is posted to a sandbox.

But really, if these are all ports of modules to Drupal 7 then they belong in the issue queue for that module and, perhaps, as a request to take over maintenance if the modules are abandoned.

@greggles, the code is in sandbox projects
The list is here:
http://drupal.org/user/772762

They aren't ports for existing D6 modules as far as I can see.

Updating title.

Sandbox link (posted in #34): http://drupal.org/sandbox/jamesbenison/1076606

Updating priority according to the new project application priority guidelines. The application's priority should be set back to normal once a reviewer responds to your application and the application review process has continued.

Seemed to me like obstacles kept being put up regarding official project status. Kinda felt like a slap in the face. Didn't make sense for me to continue investing my time.

Sorry to hear you feel that way ... however, keep in mind that from February to June, this application sat idle due to it being in the obsolete CVS queue, and was not moved to the Project Applications queue as per the instructions referenced in comment #29. There was additional confusion caused by the fact that this issue contained multiple modules, while only one module is required for the review process (after which the submitter can publish the additional modules without mandatory review). Lastly, your sandbox link was buried in the middle of a support discussion which had nothing to do with this review process (and would have been better served in the sandbox project's issue queue instead of this application thread.)

You state you felt that roadblocks were being put up regarding official project status. The reality is that there are currently over 175 projects awaiting review (some of which date back to last summer), and another 200+ projects in some sort of 'partial review' state ... and a very small pool of dedicated reviewers actively trying to clear the backlog. We recognize that there are some definate issues with this process, and are diligently working to improve the situation - but in the meantime, we must work within the system we have; and as there was a number of issues with your application (as referenced in the first paragraph of this response, not in reference to the code itself!) it happened to fall though the cracks.

On the positive side, we've rectified those issues and got the application into the proper queue ... so while it's a long process, at least the application is back IN the process. Unfortunately, it now falls back to a waiting game, as response time in the queue is currently over 6 weeks for some projects.

In the meantime, if you'd like to elaborate on the obstacles you are referring to, or chip in a few reviews of your own to help clear the backlog, then feel free to drop by and provide your feedback in the "Code Review" group on g.d.o.

@jamesbenison
great news that you are picking this up again

I'm changing the status because it's not clear to me what's up for review here. Please clarify and set the status back to "needs review".

In #1 (4 March 2011) you said:

DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY FILES FROM THIS PAGE. THESE ARE ALL NOW OBSOLETE.
See: http://drupal.org/sandbox/jamesbenison/1076606

Then you went on to attach zipped copies of modules in issues #1, #3, #9, #10, #13, #15, #16, #17, and #21.

I took this statement to mean you wanted us to ignore the sandbox and only look at the zipped modules. This was reinforced for me by the fact that you kept posting new zip files in response to issues raised in this thread, but you haven't updated the sandbox even once.

There has been a lot of activity in this thread, but the last commit in sandbox was on 28 Feb 2011. Does the sandbox reflect the current status of the code that you want reviewed for your project application? Is all of the feedback you've received above incorporated into the sandbox code?

March 4th was an update, telling folks to not pay attention to the zip files ... instead, look at the sandbox. Even though it's #1, the comment date comes after any of the referenced zipped files added later in the thread.

This used to be a CVS application, which used zip files for review ... after it was moved to a Git application, jamesbenison started using the sandbox as per the new guidelines.

Sandbox link (http://drupal.org/sandbox/jamesbenison/1076606) is posted in #32 and re-posted in #42. Application has already been set to postponed once due to someone missing the sandbox link ... let's not put james through that again!

Updating priority.

Despite the number of comments in this thread (and due to a comedy of other errors/issues), the Views jQFX module still has never received an actual review.

Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with Nivo slider using Drupal 7. The slider is misaligned and i'm trying to figure out why.
My images are all at the same size 900x284 and I'm using the default theme settings.

Any idea?

Many thanks
