Hi,
I was following the instructions from the documentation:
"How to use Nodequeue to provide content for Advanced dynamic display block slideshows"
http://ddblock.myalbums.biz/node/846
From admin/settings/ddblock/settings I was not able to add the block from my view created by nodeview. I was always receiving an error message like this:
"An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator."
After a while of research and testing, I decided to rename the "Block admin description" in the "Block settings" in the view created by nodequeue to remove the ' and it worked. When nodequeue creates a view, it puts a description like this:
Queue 'name of the nodequeue'
So I think ddblock doesn't like apostrophe ( ' ) in the Block admin description.
If I am right, you may want to update the documentation to specify renaming the block admin description, or maybe there is something to do in the code.
Thanks

Thank you for reporting the issue.
Tried the tutorial. I don't have problems with the apostrophe in my ddblock slideshow installation.
If others have problems or don't have problems with the apostrophe please post it here.

Seems another user has the same issue. Added the following note to the documentation:
Note:
If you get the error message: "An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator." you have to delete the quotes (') from the "Block admin description" in the "Block settings" in the view created by nodequeue.

Thanks ppblaauw, that saved me a lot of time. I did have to hunt a bit though so I'm going to try to expand should anyone else be looking.
