DDBlock does not display in region

For the advanced ddblock slideshows the cycle plugin needs to be used.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

I have this issue also. Installed according to the instructions and was able to follow all the steps in Quick configuration in 10 steps.

However the slideshow simply does not appear. Tried putting it in Highlighted, Footer, and Content blocks to no avail. Nothing related shows up when viewing the page source, nothing in Firebug. It's as if the module is simply not installed.

I am happy to provide more info if the developer can provide some trouble shooting pointers.

Are the content type and the view used enabled in the settings tab of the ddblock configuration page?
Are the nodes published?
Is a dynamic display block instance created of the views block display used for the slideshow?
Is the dynamic display block instance configured with setting to cycleblock?
Is the dynamic display block instance placed in a region?

Do you have a link to the site with the slideshow?

After reviewing the Quick configuration page I have succeeded in making this work by following the instruction which I had initially overlooked. Perhaps this should be promoted to the 11th step as it seems pretty much mandatory for most installations?

When you want to give anonymous users and other registered users rights to view the ddblock slideshows configure the permissions to view ddblock slideshows at: administration > people > permissions TAB.

I would have spotted this sooner if I had tried to view the slideshow from my logged-in browser, but I am using another browser (not logged in) to view the results. Traps for newbs I guess.

Hi,

Actually, I have the same issue : I only see the block title and no slideshow at all (the slideshow works in views perfectly).
Weird : When I set the block setting from 'blockcycle' to 'default' it shows up! but with no theme, though themes are availables in the block configuration.

I'm lost here, I followed exactly the steps and don't get any results.

Probably ... You Used Views Slideshow: Cycle Module at the same time.
Try with Views Slideshow: Cycle Disabled.

i have the same problem, my slideshow was working fine but it has suddenly stopped and i cant figure out what went wrong. i didnt change anything i just found it like that in the morning. you can check it out at www.mti.gov.bw

Looks like there is no image in the HTML on your site.
Have a look at the preprocess functions in the template.php file for ddblock for Drupal 6
you can uncomment the drupal_set_message lines to see what should be there for the image.

Hope this helps you further.
Please let me know.

thank you for your reply but i am sorry am relatively new to drupal, i cant seem to find the template.php the only drupal_set_message i get is a function in ddblock.module just below the preprocess functions.

There should be a template.php file in the directory of the Drupal template you use.

Hope this helps you further.

P.S.
For Drupal 6 it is easier to use the views_slideshow_ddblock module version 2.x
It is easier to install and configure and there is an example module available which creates a content type and views

this is teh massage that i get..

'news_items'

stdClass::__set_state(array(
'nid' => '840',
