No picture show when private file system is set.

Could you provide the javascript chunk in the section which says "jQuery.extend(Drupal.settings,......" So I can see what is really happening.

Thanks.

In the page you are seeing the "loading..." text, if you are using firefox, right button clic and press "view page source". Then, a window should pop up with the source.

There is a section almost on the top of the page, and there is a chunk that says "jQuery.extendt(..." etc.

Copy the whole line and post it here, so I can see te variables from the slideshowcs module.

Thanks for posting it.

I suppose your filesystem is in sites/default/files/, right?

Could you post the settings for the page admin/settings/file-system (the file system path)

And also the settings for the slideshowcs block. (Most important path is the picture folder)

Then I will be able to "track" what is happening in your setup.

Thanks

I'm having the same exact problem . . . . Here is my source code:

Aha, I see strangerman, you have a private file system, right? (I will look into this... to find a solution)

Kevin10EC, do you have also a private file system?

No, actually I have a public file system. Here are my settings:

File system path: sites/default/files

Temporary directory: /tmp

Download method: Public - files are available using HTTP directly.

I did notice in the source code a path that included " . . . /files/files/ . . . " That looks strange.

PROBLEM SOLVED . . .

We discovered that the path in our "Pictures folder" field was wrong. We had thought that all we needed to specify was the portion beyond the "default" path.

So, the path we had (wrongly) specified was: /files/slideshow

The path we should have specified was: sites/default/files/slideshow

Now, it works just fine. Thanks for helping us examine and re-examine things.

Ok! glad it worked. I am rewriting the way the path is taken so as to make it more clear and easier to set up.

same problem here. I am using private download method.
