DDBlock not appearing in my project

Hello folks,
Please refer to my site, www.ohmeslogistics.com/aau. Drop downs appear in Firefox but not IE.
Does anyone know why, this is the case? I have analysed css issues but cant seem to trace a problem.
Ill be gratefull for some help. Thanks.

If you assign an issue to yourself, you are solving the issue yourself and no one else has to do something. (I don't think this is what you mean). A priority critical does not make your issue solved earlier. (describing the issue in detail does)

You can have a look at the issue queue handbook to make your experience with issue queues more pleasant and fruitful.

Set the version to 6.x-1.0-rc6 (I think and hope you use this version)
Normal status when you post a support request is: active.

That said:

I don't see a dynamic display block at the link you give.
Can you attach your template.php file and the result of the drupal_set_message debug lines when you uncomment them in the preprocess functions.

Uncomment the drupal_set_message debug lines.
Reload the page with the dynamic display block.

Please send the information, so I can help you better.

First of all thankyou for attending to my call today. Ill take good note of the protocols in Drupal communication - im somewhat new to drupal. I really want to use your Module to the full. I met with my client today over it and just simply displayed a jpeg (stillframe) impression of it. You can access it at the website ohmeslogistics.com/aau.

So below is the template.php file for your kind perusal. I uncomented the rupal_set_message at one point but nothing happened.
Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't see a version number of the preprocess functions in your template.php file. That part is not copied to the template.php file so I don't know which version it is or where you get it, but the preprocess functions are totally wrong.

Attached is the latest version of the preproces function with the themename already adjusted to arthemia.

Just copy the whole file to your template.php file without the <?php at the top and delete the old preprocess function for the ddblock module.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Issue solved with poster

Hi,

Excelent Module, congratulations, and I hope publish my site in your database like example, I love Open Source!!.
I am having the same behaviour, i put the preproces function given by ppblaauw and change THEME_NAME to taspestry and nothing happend, i want to use it in may taspestry moddified (Only I have touched the css files), Taspestry use 2 powerfulls modules "blockthemes" and "themesettings", and i think the problem is here!, but i am not sure and I dont know what's happend.

I uncomment the lines "like in the Video" and the is not shown.

Can you help me.

I tried in a clear installation and nothing happend neither.

Drupal 6.13
DB MySql
Theme : http://drupal.org/project/tapestry
Clear Installation.

Problem with "register_globals is enabled" in my instalation (I can not resolve this for now).

What other information do you need?

THANKS

I downloaded the tapestry theme, installed it on my test server, copied the custom folder to the theme, added the preprocess functions to template.php, renamed [theme_name] to tapestry and the ddblock slideshows are working.

My conclusion is: Your issue is not related to the tapestry theme.

Can you send your template.php file you use and if you have a link to your site, that would also be helpful.

close issue, 9 weeks without activity.
