After updating images don't display in basic slideshow

If you are using images from a folder. The folder path is changed. It is now relative to the Drupal file path and not to the drupal root anymore.

Edit:
--You need to change the folder path in the configuration settings of the block, so it becomes relative to
--the Drupal file path.

--You can find the Drupal file path at:

Administer > Site configuration > File system

If you are using the advanced dynamic display block slideshows also upgrade the preprocess functions. you can download them from http://ddblock.myalbums.biz

Hope this helps you further. Please let me know.

I cant get it to work either after updating my ddb.

Neither of the paths above make any differences. And I havent changed any of the permissions. I dont know what could be wrong.
Please help me.

@stilenligt

You don't need to change anything directly in the database.
Just change the folder path in the ddblock configuration page and the place of your images if needed.
(I added more info to post #1)

Hope this helps you further. Please let me know.

If not please send a link to your Internet site or the page source on my contact form, so i can help you better.

Hi

I am using latest ddb module, everything works fine but no images are shown to me. (texts are shown but there is gray background instead picture)
My files path is root/files not sites/default/files (it is because I have upgrade from drupal 5 where root/files is by default)

can be it problem why I can't see images?
where exactly i can change the path for ddt images? I found only settings for imagefield path (and it is empty by default).

thanks for your help

Traveled this week from the Netherlands to the Philippines. Was a busy time for me.

@Igorik

Where can I find the ddblock slideshow on your site? I could not find it.

I assume you want to create a basic slideshow because you talk about image folder. You can find more information at the Quick configuration in 10 steps tutorial.

You can find the image path setting of the ddblock module in the configuration page in the Image folder settings if you choose image folder as input type.

Please tell me where I can find the ddblock slideshow, so I can help you better.

I am trying to use ddblock on my localhost drupal 6.10 but I cannot get the block to even show up let alone the images. I'm very confused...

I have tried the setting for the image folders but to no avail.

I confirm a similar issue in RC6
I have a clean install and images don't show up.

I Will send you a test address directly.

Thanks

LAter edit: changed variables in preprocess functions and works excellent,

@ cheesesteak

Have a look at this faq - Images from an image folder are not displayed.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

@ ppblaauw I am not even getting the box to render. I am running it on localhost so I cannot provide any links.

BTW I have the block set for the content top using newsflash template

@ cheesesteak

Did you set permissions to view dynamic display blocks at:

Administer > User Management > Permissions

Can you explain what steps you did to make the slideshow, so I can help you better?

I followed the install steps as indicated on http://ddblock.myalbums.biz/installation

"1. Go to http://drupal.org/project/jquery_update and download the jQuery update module.
2. Go to http://drupal.org/project/ddblock and download the new version of dynamic display block module.
3. Extract the jquery_update folder and the ddblock folder and drop them into the /sites/all/modules/ folder.
4. Navigate to Administer > Site building > Modules and enable the jQuery Update module and the dynamic display block module by selecting the check boxes next to "JQuery Update" and “Dynamic display block”.
5.Click the save configuration button."

Then I followed the Qick COnfig in 10 steps@ http://ddblock.myalbums.biz/quick_configuration_in_10_steps

I have the block and I have moved it to every region of the template (newsflash) but the box does not render. I tried switch to the Garland theme and still no render.

@ cheesesteak

What is your drupal file path at administer > Site configuration > File system?
What is your download method here?
What is your folder setting in the ddblock configuration page?
What is your content container setting in the ddblock configuration page?
Do you use image cache presets?
Where do your store the images to be used with the ddblock slideshow?

Please answer these questions, so I can help you better.

@ ppblaauw

I have file path set as sites/default/files

DL is Public

All options checked on admin>site config>DDBlocks

Image Cache Presets unchecked

Images are in sites/default/files/ddblock

Thanks for your help

@ cheesesteak

So your folder setting in the ddblock configuration page is: ddblock?
and content container is img?

yes

I almost give up, but...
Can you send me the page source from the page where the ddblock slideshow should be.

Here is the source...

I can not find the ddblock block in the page source you send.

In which region of the theme did you place the block?
Can you also try to use e.g. the garland theme and see if the ddblock shows up in this theme?

Sorry I got tied up but I'm back.

I have put the block in every location of the theme (newsflash) and i did switch to garland and same result.

What would cause the block not to show?

Possible causes the block does not show up.

• No permissions At administer > User Management > permissions for users other then user 1
• check User specific visibility settings of the block
• check Role specific visibility settings of the block
• check Page specific visibility settings of the block

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Setup:

I have all of the most recent modules installed, doing the advanced slideshow installation walk-thru, getting the gray box in my slideshow block.

Using the advanced slideshow tutorial, I successfully created the content type (by import), I created 4 sample nodes, I created the view (by import), I tweaked the "fid" setting in the preprocessor function (which fixed the title/teaser elements - it was just the article title with a closing tag), the pagination works, the "read more" works, and the nodes themselves show up fine when clicked-to; but the images remain gray. Through firebug, I was able to temporarily code the url right to one of the images...and it worked. This tells me it's a path issue.

Issue/question:

I've seen a number of comments and replies in this stream that talk about the "image folder settings" in the ddblock configuration form...but I've gone through every nook and cranny of the ddblock settings AND the configuration options for my specific instance and I don't see any "folder settings"...or "image path settings"...nothing like that at all.

The closest thing to a path setting I can find is in the actual content type's "Display Fields" > Image - Configuration > Path setting. My settings in Admin > Site Config > File Settings is the default "sites/default/files" and my Path setting for the imagefield...well...I've tried just "ddblock"...and "images/ddblock"...and I've manually made sure those items were there. Still gray.

I cannot change my File Settings just for the ddblock alone (there are 27 departments contributing content each with their own folders in the files folder, therefore, I can't set the default for my entire site to go there).

If you're able, please advise.

@cacody

To keep issues manageable and useful for other users please post a new issue for this. (original issue is for basic slideshow) Also changed the issue title.

Apologies.

Here's the new post: http://drupal.org/node/443990
