Ddblock not animated

Looks like you did not set the widget setting to cycle in the configuration page.
I can see the views_fields in the page.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

The 'ddblock-news item slideshow' block is set to Display method:Cycleblock. It's all most as if jquery is not kicking in..

I can also see that you are not using a theme in the ddblock settings page

Can you send a new page source file or make your site available on the Internet for a while, so I can have a
look.

I have not used a theme for the block. Is this necessary ? Site is still in xampp so I'll send another source, what do you need ?

Thanks for your help.

When you give a more detailed explanation what you want to accomplish and what happens instead I can help you better. In your case you let me guess, that you want to accomplish something different then in the tutorials. That makes it more difficult for me to give the right answers.

Your issue.

No, Its not necessary to use a theme.

But in that case, when you want to rotate views rows you need to change the content container
to: div.views-row (in your case) instead of div.slide (which is defined in the ddblock themes)

Hope this helps you further, please let me know

Look I think there is a misunderstanding. I do want to accomplish exactly what you have in your advanced tutorial. That's all I want, a slider but with my own styling, and I am not bothered with themes.

Your advice has helped me though my friend, it was only a problem with me NOT using a template. ;) As I was not using one, my
Content container class was set to-> div.slide "(which is defined in the ddblock themes )" - something I did not bother checking

Simply setting my class to->div.views-row made the slider animate.

I will look into the themes too. Thank you for your patience, and help. I will send you a link once the site is done.

Baie dankie Philip.

Great its working now.

We also use the dynamic display block module without ddblock themes when we use it to slide e.g. text only nodes.

The additional themes are there to get the predefined layouts running with the module.
They can also be a headstart in making your own ddblock themes.
The ddblock themes also give e.g. a nice headstart in adding pagers to the slideshow.

Sigh..

the whole block has disappeared right after making a few config adjustments.. I'll do the tut again.

After changing back Display Method: * to Default the block shows up... when I swop back to Cycle it disappears again...

Bloody hell.. I think it's my theme..

I set my default theme back to Garland, added two dd-blocks to the 'right sidebar region' set them back to cycle and they magically appeared.

Setting back to my custom theme sites>all>themes>[my-theme] and the two blocks are gone. There is no source code being created. But again, when I set the blocks back to Default Display in config they appear. Same issue as at #9

My theme is screwy too. I tracked this message->
warning: include(./sites/all/themes/themename/custom/modules/ddblock/ddblock-cycle-pager-content.tpl.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/xampp/themename/includes/theme.inc on line 1020.

I'll have to check this out.

I'm screwed.. I cant get this error to go away. Any idea ? I could always re-install everything, LOL ( silently bangs head against wall )

Looks like you have a fileserver permisson issue.
You don't have read access to /sites/all/themes/themename/custom/modules/ddblock/ddblock-cycle-pager-content.tpl.php

The moment I copied the line
I now see the name of the theme it is looking for is: themename
Is this the real name of the theme you use or should you replace this with the real themename you use.
What theme are you using?

Hope this helps you further, please let me know

no themename is not the theme. I built my own theme. I have started from scratch, and will backup before I try ddblock. I got those errors I think .. after deleting the custom folder.. ( could not get the ddblock themes to work ).

Do you have an email I can send too ?

You can reach me via the Personal contact form

Finally got everything to work.

I set the template to modestgrey and the slider disappears. My output looks like this >

* 'Gallery'

* stdClass::__set_state(array(
'nid' => '19',
'node_type' => 'gallery',
'node_vid' => '19',
))

the field I am targeting with Views is > field_gallery_pic
that field is a cck field sued to upload images in a custom content type called: Gallery
I do not know why it's not being added to the output above.

and my template.php file is attached, please help. I have set my theme name, added my View name and it works until I use a template.

When you mean that this is the result of the drupal_set_message debug line, It looks like you have no fields at all in the view you use for the dynamic display block module.

Did you get it working with one of the default upright themes?
Which modest-grey theme are you using

not working with any theme, I only have the modestgrey10p enabled.

I got it working without the theme though.. what am I missing > ? If it would help and waste less of your time I'll load the site and email you a login.

Wow, was checking old issues and for some reason missed to answer to this post.
Sorry for that.
Do you still need help with this issue?
