No Images Displayed, and IE Gray Box

Thanks for sending the template.php file and the result of the drupal_set_message debug lines

Due to changes in the filefield and imagfield modules The cck variables are different depending on the version you have installed.

In your case, to show the images in the ddblock slideshow, you need to change all occurrences of:

to

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Thank you so much! I changed those lines and it works like a charm now.

set status to fixed

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

I have been dealing with this prblem for over 2 weeks and today was the day I was going to give up. Iam glad I found this link because I was having the same problem.

I am glad that I found a fix for the problem but it should not be this hard. Somehow this information
should be added as part of the documentation.

Thanks,

Néstor :-)

Thanks for pointing out, it is not always easy for users to find existing solutions for issues.
I made the reference to the FAQ on ddblock.myalbums.biz in red in the major tutorial pages and added to look at the trouble shooting part of the faq.

I hope users can find known solutions for issues better now.

@ ppblaauw

I see one pager-item image.
The slideshow needs at least two nodes to work.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

I am still facing the same same problem.. Grey area in the box. Here is a link to my site:

@ dunklea
Please have a look at the faq question: Images not showing, only grey box.

If you can not solve it yourself, attach the result of the drupal_set_message lines, so I can help you better.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Hello,

I have the same problem, but in my case the image isn't just listed in the drupal_set_message. I paste here the result:

'news_items'
stdClass::__set_state(array(
'nid' => '3577',
'node_title' => 'Sobre molinos, gigantes y sabios encantadores',
'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_pager_item_text_value' => 'Don Quijote',
'node_type' => 'story',
'node_vid' => '3579',
'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_slide_text_value' => 'En esto descubrieron treinta o cuarenta molinos de viento que hay en aquel campo',
'node_created' => '1257212191',
))

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Did you enable the Content Permissions module (CCK - submodule)?

Did you give permission for the field you use in your slideshow block?

Can you send the content of the template.php file?

Can you send a link to the site?

Please provide this information so I can help you better.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Thanks for your answer. I did not enable the Content Permissions module. Should I?
Here's the content of my template.php file. Note my theme is a subtheme of ZEN/The Morning After.

The test address where you can reach my block is: http://panoramacatolico.info/pagina/pruebas
Thanks again!

Thank you for the detailed information.

You don't need to enable the Content permission module, only if you want to give permission per field.

The template.php file looks ok.

Did you add the image_field in the content of the view?

Can you send the preview of the SQL statement in your view?

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Here's the SQL result:

SELECT node.nid AS nid, node.title AS node_title, node_data_field_pager_item_text.field_pager_item_text_value AS node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_pager_item_text_value, node.type AS node_type, node.vid AS node_vid, node_data_field_pager_item_text.field_slide_text_value AS node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_slide_text_value, node.created AS node_created FROM node node  INNER JOIN term_node term_node ON node.vid = term_node.vid LEFT JOIN content_type_story node_data_field_pager_item_text ON node.vid = node_data_field_pager_item_text.vid WHERE (node.status <> 0) AND (term_node.tid = 1) ORDER BY node_created DESC
Again, thanks very much!

In the preview of the SQL result in the view, seems like you don't have a field for your image.

Can you give admin access to your site, so i can help you better?

You can send it to my contact form.

#15

I had a look at the site. For your image field you checked Group multiple values.

This needs to be unchecked, now you could see the image field variable in the view.

In the preprocess functions you need to change

4 times to

Hello,

In your preprocess functions you need to use the themename you use so the preprocess functions become:

after making the changes, clear the cache at administer > site configuration > performance

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Thanks a lot.... That was the problem...
