I've stepped it to help some fellow drupallers, and have become stumped. Though I found all sorts of problems and corrected them, the issue still exists.

The syntax filters fine, but only the first image in the directory is shown. The directory has 4 images, and whatever one I name to be sorted first is the one that displays. Also, there are no buttons to scroll manually.

Here is the syntax:
[slideshow: 2, rotate=2, blend=1, height=200, layout=bottom, dir=|files/shawntest|yes||TITLE|Description||]

I haven't been involved with this project until very recently, so there may be something I'm not seeing, but if anyone has had this experience please help a guy out!

Shawn,

i need more information:
1* you said no navigatino links ("previous next"). this happens only on layout=bottom or on any layout?
2* your images have which extension? any capital letters?
3* Do you have a newer version of jQuery?
4* Which browser you use?

regards,

massa

Here you go...

i need more information:
1* you said no navigatino links ("previous next"). this happens only on layout=bottom or on any layout?
any setting. The title and descriptions move to top or bottom with the settings, but no navigation links. The readme says the links will show up if javascript is not enabled, so I assume it is enabled.

2* your images have which extension? any capital letters?
jpg. Names all lower case. The original images have pretty long names with spaces and mixed case, so i renamed them to eliminate that as a possibility.

3* Do you have a newer version of jQuery?
The jquery file says v 1.6. I'm am assuming that this is the file that came with the 5.1 install, but I'm not actually developing this site, just helping out.

4* Which browser you use?
Firefox mostly, but safari does not rotate images either.

Shawn,

thanks for reporting.
well, everything i asked seems ok (except jquery version: the last version is 1.1.3.1, but you said it is the version that comes with drupal, so its ok too). One thing i think is wrong: your path doesnt end with "/". i guess i forgot to check if the path has the last "/" or not.

regards,

massa

Yes, I have tried including the trailing slash with the same results. The first image in the directory loads and that's it.
My Drupalling thus far has been largely void of and javascript/jQuery work, so I'm not so skilled with jQuery. It seems that may be where the problem lies. I noticed there was a jquery update module that claims to add newer jQuery functionality to the 1.0.1 version supposedly included in drupal 5. I'll give that a shot and report back.

Thanks for your support on this!

I am adding to this post again since I am having almost the exact same problem as clockbroke. The images are loading fine but they do not seem to be rotating automatically. The details follow below:

  • using version 5.x-1.24 of the Slideshow creator module
  • using the following syntax (for example) when adding new slideshow in a panel:
  • tried on multiple different panels and web browsers (Firefox, IE, etc.) and the behavior is still the same -> the slideshow works correctly with the next and previous links but does not rotate automatically
  • installed the jquery update module, enabled, and copied included version of jquery.js to misc/ directory
    • the discrepancy with your post is that the version of the jquery.js file included with the module download is 1.1.2, and not 1.1.3.1
    • I do not know if I can just replace the file with the new version without breaking things
    • it does seem like the javascript is not working correctly on the drupal site that I am working on (any known conflicts with other modules?)
  • other relevant server information (from Status report page)
    • Drupal 5.1
    • PHP 4.4.7
    • JQuery Update says it is installed correctly but does not tell version number after the text "The current installed version of JQuery is"

Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated. I am out of ideas at this point and could not find anything in the forums that gave any potential solutions to this problem.
