No Dynamic Loading; nidmatch has no properties

I was getting this too, but changed the wrap style from Circular to something else and I made some progress. I think I remember reading somewhere that the circular wrap doesn't work in the 5.x version... ?

Strange: I had it working for a while, then it inexplicably quit. I get the same error as you stated, and no AJAX functionality. The nodes change, but they don't slide.

Not sure what I changed to cause this (if anything), I tried going backwards and disabling modules that I may have added after getting nodecarousel working properly, but no dice.

Puzzler. :-\

Ok, a little more info...

When 'Data Collection' is set to static I don't get the "nidmatch has no properties" error. I still don't get the AJAX transition however.

Hum.

Question: Do you get this error on pages which display a node? (ie, you go to node/12, say, do you still get it?) Which theme are you using?

Second question:

If you are getting the nodecarousel to scroll, but it's not animated, what have you set the 'Animation Speed' for the carousel?

I am an idiot: it was the scrolling speed.

I had it set at '2', which is in milliseconds. I must have thought it was in seconds.

Thanks again, I owe you for these silly problems!

Well, you've still got your 'nidmatch' problem, so I ask again:

Hi there,

First of all I'd like to thank you for a great module, this is exactly what I have been looking for and see tremendous potential for its use.

I've posted under this issue but my request is a little broader.

I seem to have hit upon a few problems and despite having read through all the issues I still cannot find an answer.
The only combination of Nodecarousel, jCarousel and Jquery Update I could get to work is shown below.

I'm not a coder and I'm wondering if my theme overide is causing the problem. I want to display a 'story' type node with teaser that includes an embedded gallery module image pulled from Gallery2 using the gallery filter. The overide works OK and displays OK but at the end of the sequence of 6 nodes it hangs for several minutes then continues through the sequence again. You will see from the Firebug report (edited for brevity!) that it continues past 6 items all the way to 25 before starting again at 1. Curiously I see some lines contain li.first, 2, "next") and some li.taxonomy_term_2298, 3, "next"). Each line has a nidmatch has no properties error.

If I switch to static data collection no errors are reported but it still hangs for several minutes before the carousel repeats.

Any ideas on what is happening during the long interval between the carousel sequences?

I've got a general idea of what's going on, and I plan to address it as soon as I can.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'm planning on taking care of that in the near future with the module. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

The weird behaviour (hanging between carousel wraps) turns out to be the encapsulated taxonomy of the 'wrapped' node. Once I figured to tweak node.tpl to NOT '$print terms' (which anyway I did not want, but not being a coder was struggling to achieve) for a specific nodecarousel page the problem goes away. The 'nidmatch' problem still exists when using Dynamic data collection, and both Circular wrap and the Random sort order seem not to work, but for me it now does exactly what I wish for.

Thanks to jewcycraig (post #10) there are a couple of ways around this problem:

Solution 1: Change the nodecarousel.module source
Add some logic to the nodecarousel.module file to fix the problem:
In function _nodecarousel_create_callback_javascript($nc), add a conditional check around where the nidmatch occurs:

 if (nid_id) { // Add this conditional
   var nidmatch = nid_id.match(/node-(\d*)/);
   if (nidmatch.length) {
     nid = nidmatch[1];
   }
 } // close conditional

Solution 2: Change your theme (probably better)
Alternatively/additionally), the fix can be made in the node.tpl.php file by adding an id to every node:

<div class="node<?php if ($sticky) { print " sticky"; } ?><?php if (!$status) { print " node-unpublished"; } ?>" id="node-<?php print $node->nid; ?>">

The addition is id="node-<?php print $node->nid; ?>"

Regarding the solution for comment #13...that is solution 2.

The $node->nid is already in node.tpl.php by default.

See http://drupal.org/node/11816

Look for the section "Default template for 5.x"

That solution still does not work by the way.

I am closing this issue, as it's for a release that is now not supported.
