Hi there,

Love the module. I originally had a slideshow going just from files on the server, however wanted to have them linking to nodes. I followed the tutorial (which I think needs a little updating as you now need to add the mandatory block in the settings page :)) which was clear and simple.

The problem I have now is that the page title is showing up when each of the images fades in. I'm not sure if I've done something wrong, or if its a bug...!

I'm using fade and I changed the div tags to be "images" and "image" - is this right or am I doing the wrong thing?

You can see the page here: www-schooltraveltrips-com (please change - for . )

Many thanks for all your hard work and any help! :)

Adam

You can add the following CSS to the end of your style.css CSS file to hide the title:

.ddblock-container h2 {
  display:none important!;
}

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

You say the tutorial needs a little updating...

Can you be more specific, we are always trying to improve the tutorials and suggestions for improvement are always welcome.

Ok Firstly, (and looking through these issues I see I'm not the only one) Thank you for your speed and clarity of response. To see a module so well developed and eagerly supported is an absolute joy.

Your fix worked great.

Secondly about the documentation. I followed the how-to here: http://ddblock.myalbums.biz/node/849

This is the section in question:

Enable the content type for the dynamic display block module

Before you can use the content type with the dynamic display block module you have to enable it.

Path to enable content type in the settings pages of the dynamic display block:

Go to Admin > Site configuration > Dynamic display block.
Click Settings tab.
Enable content type

Enable ddblock images with links to other pages under Content types.
Click Save configuration button.

The issue here is that when you do that, you also need to choose the Block below. In my case I chose "node - Syndicate" which I'm not sure is even relevant, but that allowed me to display it so I'm not asking questions :)

Hope this helps, if I've not been clear then let me know I'll try to ellaborate!

Thanks again,

Adam

Cleaning up open issues.
Original issue fixed.

To choose a block is set to mandatory.
That is the reason you need to enable at least one block even if this is not necessary.

Will change this in next version of the ddblock module.

I understand what you've said here, but either I'm putting this in the wrong file or it no longer works...

#4

For which functionality of the ddblock do you want to hide the title (basic or advanced)?
In which file did you make adjustments? (filename, position in directory structure)
Do you have a link to the Internet site? (if not a screenshot what you want to accomplish)

Please describe more detailed what you want to accomplish, how and what is different then you expected, so I can help you better.

The theme I am using (mpFree) does not have a style.css file. How can I implement this fix? I have tried pasting this code in multiple CSS files without any change.

Thank you

In your themes/mpFREE/css/dpcore.css file you can add the following lines at the bottom of the file, to hide the Title and post information:

#node13 h1{
  display:none;
}
#node13 .details-fp{
  display:none;
}

Hope this helps you further, please let me know

Thank you for the fast response and support. I've added the suggested lines to the dpcore.css file and there has been no change, the title still displays.

My mistake: it needs to be 

#node-13 h1{
  display:none;
}
#node-13 .details-fp{
  display:none;
}

Hope this helps you further, please let me know
