Here's my problem - The slideshow block only displays immediately after my Drupal performance cache is cleared - once any page containing the block has been viewed, and the page is refreshed and/or re-visited, the block simply disappears.

Suggestions?

Thanks a bunch :)

It could possibly have to do with this issue #404894: Block caching prevents the javascript from always being loaded

Start by disabling all caching options. Views caching, block caching, CSS/JS aggregation, page caching. Then enable them one at a time and test each one individually to see where the problem is. If you are using block caching you need to set the block to be cached per page until the issue redndahead linked to has been resolved. That issue wouldn't cause the block to completely disappear though so it sounds like something else is going on. If the problem is with block caching, try taking a look in the DB (cache_block table) and see what if anything is cached. That should help narrow down the problem.

Adamo, i'm moving this conversation to the afore mentioned link - i've done some more investigating, and this IS a cache issue for sure. When i said the block completely disappeared, i was under that impression because my own CSS won't show anything without the JS being present (due to resets, as well as my styling only the slideshow up until this point), though the html is generated.

i'll work through your suggestions right now and let you know what happens on the other thread - i've actually already done everything you've suggested, with the exception of looking in the Database, but i'm going to try again!

Thanks a bunch :)

EDIT: I was stupid. Renaming theme files to what they're supposed to be did the trick ;-)
