The view_field_name is the name cck/views creates for content type fieldnames.

If your theme does not have a template.php file, you can create this file yourself and paste the preprocess functions in it.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

P.S. Please post one issue per post, so issues are manageable and useful for other users.

Thanks

My view name is site_news. do I need to write views_site_news?

In the preprocess functions documentation of the advanced slideshow tutorial is says:

Changing view_name
In the line:

if ($vars['settings']['view_name'] == 'news_items') {

you fill in your own viewname

if ($vars['settings']['view_name'] == '[VIEW_NAME]') {

So if the view_name of the view you use is site_news it will become:

if ($vars['settings']['view_name'] == 'site_news') {

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

I also don't understand how u do this. All the original values are the same. So my view_name/view is right (i think). I also can't understand anything of that video.
I have this so far> www.brazza.eu/drupal

#

'news_items'

#

stdClass::__set_state(array(
   'nid' => '5',
   'node_title' => 'header',
   'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_pager_item_text_value' => 'Nu te koop!',
   'node_type' => 'ddblock_news_item',
   'node_vid' => '5',
   'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_slide_text_value' => 'te koop!',
   'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_image_fid' => '7',
   'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_image_list' => '1',
   'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_image_data' => 'a:3:{s:11:"description";s:0:"";s:3:"alt";s:0:"";s:5:"title";s:0:"";}',
   'node_revisions_body' => '',
   'node_revisions_format' => '1',
   'node_created' => '1244155895',
))

My view is named news_item and the view also called news_items (havent changed anything).
I hope i can works this out. Cause this is the best module i found so far. Where's paypal link? xD

@badabing

You are almost there, thanks for sending the information, so I can help you better.

You probably need to change (several times) the strings for the image_field in both preprocess functions from:

..._fid

to

node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_image_fid

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Groetjes,

Philip
