I have tried several settings; however, I cannot get the pager to work. At first I had something like:

previous pause next

Which was good, except there were no links. I went in and tried some other settings, but now that text doesn't even show, nor does anything else related to a pager. I turned off all the settings that were there, but the previous... text never came back.

I just need something that I can style to show up, whether it be "previous" and "next" or "1" and "2" or whatever. I'm going to style them via css to be images of arrows going each way, so the actual text doesn't matter. All that matters is that something be there that has a link with it.

Could someone please help me get the correct settings for the slideshow so that some sort of pager will show? I'd greatly appreciate it. If you need any more information about my setup, please let me know and I can do screenshots, exports, or whatever it is you need. This pager is the last remaining thing I have to get this slideshow up and running.

The site I am working with is at http://dev.artsed411.org/

Thanks for your help.

Ok, if I use the alpha version, I can get the text "previous pause next", but no links. If I switch to the dev version, the same settings get me nothing - no text, no links.

Even though the "previous next pause" don't look like links, have you tried clicking on them? When you clikc, you should still get a transition.

They aren't rendered as links, merely text within divs, that you need to style to have the appearance you want.

I had this problem for few weeks, I searched and try everything and was about to give up and try another module, and then it hit me...

When I downloaded the library from http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/download.html, there were 2 options. I used the lite one, assuming it will work.

What works for me finally was when I:
1. Downloaded the full version https://raw.github.com/malsup/cycle/master/jquery.cycle.all.js, renamed it to jquery.cycle.all.min.js, and placed it in sites/all/libraries/jquery.cycle
2. Followed the instructions on the tutorial by Ciril Tharayil, at http://www.brightwebsitedesign.com/how-to-install-views-slideshow-module...

Hope this can help.

shaisamuel,

Thanks so much for this solution. Works perfectly now.

We also have a problem with the library being named differently now (no min.js). There is a patch in the queue that I need to add that fixes this by allowing both. But make sure it gets named to jquery.cycle.all.min.js

Finally after several cache clears and such on the site, everything works fine. Apparently something just wasn't showing right.

Status: Fixed » Closed (fixed)

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

shaisamuel, I can't thank you enough! I've been trying to get this to work for the past 2 days and your suggestion worked.

@bcerny, you are very welcome and thank you for your feedback. This is one of my first little contribution to this amazing community. I am using Drupal for some months already. I dont have much development knowledge, but I do use many modules and I learned to search and study for solution. Since I use many of these comments myself, I do my efforts to give back when I can.
Hope many will keep doing so.
