Description

I've gotten as far as being able to display the trial version of the slideshow in a Drupal node, but all it displays is "Trial Version" and nothing else. I think I've set my view feed properly, but here's the XML it generates:

<gallery>
<album title="" description="" lgPath="">
<img src="http://www.XXXXXXXX.net/dom/files/images/CIMG3920.JPG" title="Test 1" caption="" link="http://www.XXXXXXXX.net/dom/?q=node/86" target="_blank" tn="http://www.XXXXXXXX.net/dom/?q=files/images/CIMG3920.thumbnail.JPG"/>
<img src="http://www.XXXXXXXX.net/dom/files/images/New Image_0.JPG" title="Test 2" caption="" link="http://www.XXXXXXXX.net/dom/?q=node/87" target="_blank" tn="http://www.XXXXXXXX.net/dom/?q=files/images/New+Image_0.thumbnail.JPG"/>
</album>
</gallery>

And I'm calling it in the node with the tag:

[ssp|path=photos/slideshow]

Where "photos/slideshow" is the URL I defined in the Page section of this particular view. I'm guessing the slideshow player is not getting the XML feed it needs, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

The XML looks fine.

So you can view photos/slideshow in your browser, I suppose.

Can you also view the images on the paths specified in src= ?

Correct. I can copy and paste any of the image src URLs into a new window, and the picture appears fine.

I can confirm this problem. I am working on it. Expect to a result soon.

I think there is a problem with the path to the slideshow feed. I would like you to try the following.

1) Grab the latest 5.x 1.x version
(make sure that you have it in fact, it will take a while for drupal.org to package the latest version. you can see this by looking at the ssp input format tips, they now say "SSP slideshows can be added to this post. Example: [ssp|path=path/to/your/ssp/feed|width=300|height=200].")

2) Delete the filter cache. You can alternatively change the content in the [ssp|...] brackets to some arbitrary value, save the node and then change it back.

3) See wether your images are coming up.

If not:

1) Go to your ssp settings page, open it and save it (I ve got a hunch that's sth going on in regards to settings).

2) If still no change, please post the object/embed block that embeds the ssp in your page.

Thank you,

Alex

Hi ,
I am having a similar problem to getting trial version to work with drupal
I am able to produce the xml file see this example:
http://babygeorges.com/ssp/day1

The image path is real. I can use this above outside of drupal framework and get the images to load
In the drupal framework ssp.swf shows up but no image/album is loaded

this is the url to the integrated Drupal page: http://babygeorges.com/testslideshow
this is the url to the swf file: sites/all/modules/slideshowpro/ssp.swf. There seem to be no path issue there

By the way you can see everything working outside Drupal framework at :

http://www.babygeorges.com/slideshow/index.html
in this last example, I merged all the ssp feeds that I have created into a xml file called images.xml

Thank you for any help!

I too am having issues same as modctek

here is my xml:


<gallery>

<album id="0" title="Electric Guitars" description="" lgPath="">
<img src="http://sitename/files/gwcustoms/files/gwcustoms/images/GW1_0.JPG" title="GW1.JPG" caption="" link="http://sitename/node/3" target="_blank" tn="http://sitename/files/gwcustoms/files/gwcustoms/images/GW1_0.thumbnail.JPG"/>
<img src="http://sitename/files/gwcustoms/files/gwcustoms/images/randy.jpg" title="The Randy Rhode to hell" caption="" link="http://sitename/node/5" target="_blank" tn="http://sitename/files/gwcustoms/files/gwcustoms/images/randy.thumbnail.jpg"/>
</album>
</gallery>

Embeded using:

[ssp|path=content/slideshow_electric]

(this is what is shown in the drupal page itsself when viewed, and i view the xml when i browse to content/slideshow_electric )

demo swf file is here: sites/all/modules/slideshowpro/ssp.swf

I have tried the steps alex_b suggests no change. Just the black trial version image.

any help would be appreciated

Turned out to be pathing issues with the image module, where it was set to files/gwcustoms/images should have only been images so the end path should have been http://sitename/files/sitename/images/randy.jpg not http://sitename/files/sitename/files/sitename/images/randy.jpg.

I am also have trouble getting the trial version to work.

After configuring everything according to the tutorial, I created a page with:

[ssp|path=test_ssp]

When I view the page, I don't see the slideshow, not even the black box. I see this text: [ssp|path=test_ssp]

Here are the configuration details:

swf file:
I copied the trial .swf file to the default directory.

xml file:
The output xml file at root/test_ssp looks like:

<gallery>
<album id="0" title="In no album" description="" lgPath="">
<img src="http://74.54.106.25/pink/files/couple1.jpg" title="auto-title" caption="" link="http://74.54.106.25/pink/node/61" target="_blank" tn="http://74.54.106.25/pink/files/imagecache/thumb_100/tmptestdeleteme/ITT_logo.gif"/>
</album>
</gallery>

(The image url's are correct.)

It seems as though drupal is not interpreting [ssp|path=test_ssp] in any special way, other than as ordinary text.

I tried the suggestions in #4, but no luck.

Help?
Thanks,
Mindy
