For reasons unknown my slideshow is only showing the first slide. The other two slides are present in the code, but it is not cycling to show them. Any idea what could be causing that? I also do not have the numerical controls present.

Hi.
sorry to hear your having troubles.

can you give me some information:

what version of drupal are you running?
what version of the theme are you running?
what modules do you have installed?
what browsers is this effecting?

Drupal 7.21
Professional Theme 7.x-1.8

Do you need a full list of all modules? Or just anything relating to slideshows? I have Views Slideshow and Flexslider installed. I'm testing a bunch of different themes. I can send the full module list if necessary.

It's happening in Firefox, IE and Opera here, so I'm assuming it's all browsers.

Note that I am displaying this slideshow on a subpage on the site, if that makes a difference. I removed the php if check for if it is the front page from the page.tpl.php file so the slideshow would display on any page. My home page uses a different theme.

I'm seeing the code for the other two slides when I view source, it just doesn't cycle in the slideshow. And I don't have the numerical controls present.

oh...
well any slider module can impact the theme.

you changed the way the slider works by default.....
there are a couple places where the slider gets checked for / called and alot of it has to do with whether or not you are on the front page.

without seeing the code i cant really help.

i can say that this themes slider was built to specifically be on the homepage.

i am available to customize and then support the custom distributions of the theme, we can talk about that outside of the issue queue if you would like.

Any chance you could make the slideshow into a block that we can place where we want it to appear and have page level control as a feature request?

If the slider can only work on the home page, then this one won't meet our needs for this project. But I will test it to see how it behaves with the slider on the home page.

As for customizing it, let me talk with my manager if he'd be willing to get you some $$$ for that work for this theme.

thats not a bad idea.

ill create a seperate feature request in the issue queue to do that in the next release. i will be posting patches there regularly (i will be sure to put your name on the request)

let me know if you/your company wants something custom (which will be faster).

thanks!

follow this issue:

Add the slider to a block rather then forced into the template

To anyone interested, I had the same issue where Professional theme slideshow only displayed first slide and fixed it by deactivating Views Slideshow.

I'm having this issue now. I have no other slideshow anything installed... just the modules required for Omega theme as I was running that for a different site. Any ideas?
