Hi there,

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction to solve this.

Installed Dynamic Display Block in Drupal without the View module.
Followed the basic 10 step instruction to setup a basic slideshow from a folder as a Block.
That all worked fine.

After installing the Views module and experimenting with some more complex setups I noticed that our Basic Dynamic Display Block was not doing image transitions any more.

It does display images, either the first image, or a random image each page refresh (depending on the settings I try), but the actual animations don't work any more. I have tried recreating the block, and al variations of settings for transitions.

Has some dependancy changed now Views is installed? Do I have to make a view module to deal with image transitions now that it is part of Drupal?

Any help appreciated.

About which view module are you talking? views itself?
That should have no effect on the basic options of the ddblock module

Do you have a link to the Internet site?

Hi there,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I am referring to the Dynamic Display Block. As I said I installed it stand-alone and followed the "10 step guide" for a basic block. Everything worked fine.

Sometime after that I installed views and tried to follow one of the more advanced tutorials to have a "News Block" implementation of the DDB with buttons etc. This did not go well! So I removed all the various bits I had imported to try and make a "News Block".

At some point during that the original Dynamic Display Block stopped working. By not working I mean it does display images from a folder, and will update on page refreshes, but the image animations which should happen on a static page stopped working.

The site in question is offline at the moment as it goes live after the weekend.... I was hoping that this was something simple that I had not caught in the docs.. I can PM you details of the site if you need them.

Just in case anyone else has the same problem. The amount of images in the DDBlock settings needs to be set to more than 1. Duh! :)
