Site upgrade to D5.8 kills my slideshow block

Description

I have upgraded my site 5.7 ==> 5.8 and now my slideshow does not work. It is in a block with single frames and worked very nicely under D5.7. Now the block stacks up all of the images in a long column together, one above the next. I have cleared the cache tables. FWIIW, this may be related to the fact that other modules dependent on jquery have stopped working too, like dhtml_menus.

I have the same problem here - no javascript is being attached to the HTML output.

OK, this problem is JQUERY specific. Replace your themes/engines/phptemplate.engine with the one here: -

Fixed it for me...

Dubs, I could kiss you. I am running Couloir Slideshow, which uses JQUERY too, and it broke when I upgraded to 5.8. The link dubs provided fixed it, so yay!

Upgrading to Drupal to 5.9 should fix this, so changing status.

I've upgraded to drupal 5.9, and still have the same problem with my site (the previously functioning slideshow now appears as a long column of stacked photos), so the upgrade does not appear to resolve the issue. Will try the phptemplate.engine fix next...

Update: Although upgrading to drupal 5.9 did not resolve this problem, using the phptemplate.engine file linked previously does appear to fix this for me.

The engine file fixed my problem too as Drupal 5.10 didnt fix the issue. Thank you very much. The previous upgrades had to use 5.7 block module to work.

Thanks SO MUCH for this fix. It seems Views Slideshow works fine on Garland/Minelli but then hurls with other themes (static image problem). Here was my other post: http://drupal.org/node/295028

I upgraded my site to Drupal 5.12 and noticed this problem. Actually the real problem was that I didn't correctly upgrade my site. I had replaced all the files except for themes/engines. Its this that fixes the problem.

It seems like the most recent report, #9 about 5.12 indicates this is no longer an issue. Can someone else try out clean versions of 5.12 or later and views slideshow?
