Description

I was wondering if there is a way to modify slider or Global Redirect to work nicely together. It appears slider simply creates the tabs to point to an id like '#slider-nid2' whereas with Global Redirect installed it's wanting to do an absolute URL. Is there a work around for this so I can continue to use Global Redirect module?

Could you break down the problem for me please? What exactly is happening? E.g.

1) Tried to access URL "http://example.com/node/12#slider-nid2"
2) Got redirected to "http://example.com/node/12"

Is that what's happening?

I do apologize I have been out of the office since last week.

First off, the slider i'm using is on my home page. That may be part of my issue, but what it's doing is when I click on a tab it will try to take me to http://www.mysite.com/homepage-node#slider-nid5 but instead will redirect it to http://www.mysite.com/#slider-nid5

I don't know what else I can tell you other than that. Thank you for the assistance and I apologize for not responding quicker.

Ahh yes, thank you this was a general issue with having a slider on the front page. I have fixed it in the Drupal 6-1 branch. Can you test it out please?

at frontpage, and Global redirect enabled, the menu tabs when click, it does go to the respective content, but the behavior is not the same as if not in the frontpage. There's no sliding effect and it would take longer to load. Also, the active tab, always set at the first tab, eventhough the content display is correct (correspond to the menu tab being clicked)

not sure, if related to this but in either case, when using the arrow, the tabs menu does NOT move, eventhough the content does.

That's correct, it's the same issue.

If you can, please check the DRUPAL-6 branch, it's fixed in there.

Thanks
Mark

Try out the 6-1.x-dev roll which has this fix too.

Testing with the 6-1.x-dev release i'm still having a problem when a slider node is set as the homepage.

The 1st click on a tab will load the entire page again, with a #slider-nidXX at the end of the address, and only after that will slide the nodes on clicks.

Hi asak

I can't reproduce this. Could you give me more info please?

- Can you verify that the bug exists for you on a clean install of Drupal (no modules interfering with it)?
- What are your settings e.g. Clean URLS on, etc.

I have tried again with Global Redirect both on & off, and with Clean URLS enabled & disabled, and I can't reproduce it anymore.

Also try version 1.2 which is the latest (uploading it now).

Thanks
Mark

I am having the same/similar problem. have 3 sliders working on a site no problems...AOK.

I created a new 1 and made 'publishing options' to promote to front/make sticky so it would be in the 1A position.

the post is promoted but slider doesnt work I just get a static post with the title and the 4) titles of the posts I selected to be included in the slide.

drupal 6.8 using current 6.1.2 version. tried the dev version on a workbench site no difference.

usuaul suspects of modules views,cck,global redir,pathauto,token

tried with css and javascript combinations off/on

no difference.

I can live with it the way it is but seems a shame you cant make it front and center

Thanks,Jim

I think the problem you are having is that the Slider does not display in Teaser view. This is by design. It will only display in the full node view.

Yes that was exactly the issue, makes sense it could/would be a mess to try and extract bits to display in a teaser. Mark, sorry for the tardy reply. thanks again great module!

Regards, Jim
