I have been using Views Slideshow for several months with no problems. However, I just updated it to Beta 2 and now I just get a block header with no content. I have tried tweaking all the settings, and have deleted the module and re-installed to no avail. I am not a programmer so I would appreciate any help and suggestions.
Thanks

You may need to edit the view and then save it over again. Were you using 1.x before or 2.x?

There's two other modules you have to enable after upgrading from 1.x to 2.x.... views_slideshow_singleframe & views_slideshow_thumbnailhover..... Then you may need to edit your views after enabling them.

I have the _singleframe enabled, and I have reviewed all the settings in the view and they are exactly as before with the previous version, but it still does not work.??

Have you tried saving the view again? What is exactly happening? Are you getting at least the view to display without selecting slideshow?

Similar problem in Firefox, but works in IE8. Javascript console (Firebug) says "[cycle] terminating; too few slides: 1", despite having 25 nodes in the view.

Just installed Views Slideshow in Drupal on local testsystem, WinXP-Apache2.0.59-PHP5.2.3-MySQL5.0.41, Drupal 6.14, Views Slideshow 6.x-2.0-beta2.

And the number of slides to display is more than one? Can you view the source of the page and make sure the view is loading all the slideshow items. Do you have a site I can look at?

I had a similar issue and solved it by going to the edit mode of view with the slideshow and click the settings for the Style: slideshow. Check all the settings again and press the update. Then save the view. That did the trick for me.

Re-saving the view worked for me, also. Thanks so much to those who posted this!!

More specifically, you only need to update the default slideshow view, and only seem to need to do it once per site, no matter how many slideshows it has. Make sure you re-save both the options you get by clicking on the word "slideshow" in the Basic Settings/Style section and the settings available little gear icon on the right side of the slideshow link.

Hi ! Can anyone explain why we must re-save the slideshow options in view to enable it ?

I'm writing an install profile with a lot of modules to enable. The goal is to simplify creation of multiples sub-domains.
Each subdomain use a ton of blocks / views. If I import a standard view, all is ok. If I import a "slideshow" view, I must re-save it to enable the slideshow. And it's a problem because If I create hundred subdomains, I must go on each subdomain to enable the slideshow views... If I install sub-domains one per one, but with interval of one week for each, I can forgot to enable the slideshow views...
It's not possible to programmatically update the settings of slideshow views to supress possible errors ??

Thanks a lot for any explanation.

The main reason, I believe, is there are options that are not defined. There are patches to fix this and hopefully we'll get it all cleared up soon.
