I have set up rotor on a site, but sometimes the images do not rotate. I disabled views html caching, and I stopped drupal from combining Javascript files, but the problem still exists. It seems to happen more often when a user is not logged on. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

Here are the pages on which this problem sometimes occurs:

As far as I can tell, the rotor on http://gmchurch.net/youth seems to be working. On the homepage however, the rotor JavaScript has not even loaded onto the page. I assume you have cleared your Drupal cache?

The pages will randomly switch between working and not working. If it's broken I can either clear the cache to get it to start working again, or wait a while (I am guessing for the cache to clear automatically), although the image rotation will break again.

I just visited the site, and the pictures weren't being rotated. I saved a copy of the site's code both when it was working, and when it wasn't. It looks like rotor sometimes doesn't load, although I have no idea why not. I have attached copies of the code both when working and not working.

It sounds to me like some other modules is doing something that it shouldn't in hook_init(). What other modules do you have enabled? If you disable all the other modules, do you still have the problem (I doubt it). If not, start enabling them again until you can narrow down the source of the conflict.

I've tried to trigger this problem in the past, but I haven't been able to figure out how. This site makes use of the extensions I have installed (which is quite a few).

Is there some way to trace the problem without having to disable the extensions one by one?

@roger6106: If you give me a list of modules that you have installed on the site, I may be able to rule out a few for you, or at least help identify modules that could have a possible conflict.

As I said, I have a huge list of modules installed. I wasn't sure what the easiest way was to list the installed modules, so I just wrote down all the folder names in my module folder. I also have some core modules installed, but I doubt that they are the problem.

admin_menu
advanced_help
audio
cck
custom_breadcrumbs
date
devel (not installed)
filefield
filefield_paths
galleria
getid3
imageapi
imagecache
imagefield
itunes
jquery_plugin
jquery_ui
lightbox2
mimedetect
rotor
themekey
token
transliteration
upload_element
views
wysiwyg

you think that is a lot of modules... some site I work on have over 150! Anyway, I think I have copies of all of those modules, so I will try and put together a sandbox with all of those installed and see if I can replicate your problem.

I have attached a file that shows exactly what modules are activated. Rename it to a .html file to view it.

I just had the problem again on this site with Rotor 6.x-2.4.
