Basic Slideshow Block Not Showing (Fixed)

Can you explain what was wrong and what you did to solve the issue.

There are some other users with the same issue. Their block does not show up, but the same strange thing happens. When they delete the block it suddenly shows.

See issue: Dynamic Display Block doens't work

You could be of great help to solve their issue.

I hope you know what was wrong and how you solved it.

Thanks for your explanation and your suggestion to check if the folder exists when the user chooses a folder. (Will try to add this check in the next version of the module and give a warning if it does not exist)

This surely explains why the slideshow did not show up, but I don't know how this would explain the behavior that the block shows up only when you delete it.

Hello Josen, It's along time, i Tink why my ddblock doesn't show is because by path,
In my ddblock content type, i put the image in sites/default/files/[user]/headline, please could you tell me where i have to set "configuration" to use this path for my image. ??

Thanks

When your drupal filepath is: sites/default/files, your configuration in the ddblock configuration page should be: [user]/headline

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

@ ppblaauw, Thanx fo your quick respons,

After last post, i reset my image back to sites/default/files,create news_item content again, but my image still not shown. so i think my problem is [not] by path.

I still want to put my image on sites/default/files/[user]/headline, so i plan to put it back on.

The other module installed are

1. I install advance slideshow (not basic) tutorial from http://ddblock.myalbums.biz/node/749 (Sorry if I use wrong thread)
2. domain access http://drupal.org/project/domain, is there any issues about it?
3. boost http://drupal.org/project/boost,
4. user permission related with enable checked
   • content_permissions module
     view field_image
     view field_pager_item_text
     view field_slide_text
   • ddblock module
     view dynamic display blocks
   • image module
     view original images
   • imagecache module
     view imagecache image-headline
   • node module
     access content
   • views module
     access all views
5. Theme tapestry from http://roopletheme.com
6. I use import method to create cck and views
7. Image path on cck reset to sites/default/files/[user]/headline ( sorry ,I don't see "ddblock configuration page", where is the location exactly?)
8. May be my configuration is not correct so I Attach related file (pls see below)

Yes, confusion surely comes when posting an advanced slideshow question in a basic slideshow thread.

Do you use imagefield, imageapi and filefield for the images or the image module?
When you use the image module the cck content type and view import will not work?

When using the image module with ddblock the preprocess functions in the template.php file need to be adjusted for the images to show up

Can you uncomment the drupal_set_message lines in the preprocess functions and attach the result.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know in a new issue created for this, to keep threads useful for other users.

In my image folder settings from config block i change from sites/default/files to / and it's work now.

Please Help !

I'm having the same issues - I have configured a basic Slideshow Block and it does not show for me.

if I go to the DDBlock Settings (settings/ddblock) and delete the block (click delete under the options), the dynamic block shows. I can't re-configure the block,

I changed image folder as #3 jrosen recommended from "sites/all/default/files/slideshow_images" to "slideshow_image" and still doesn't work

Thanks.

Do you use "slideshow_images" or "slideshow_image" as the folder relative to sites/all/default/files?

Thanks, I found the solutions. I changed the File System path to: "sites/default/files" and kept the folder named "Slideshow_Image".

Set status to fixed
