Slideshow is not displaying at all

I have installed and configured the advanced ddblock slideshow as per the tutorial video but the slideshow is not appearing at all only the title (if I chane the time from to a title name). I have placed the block to the left sidebar but there is nothing but a horizontal line which states for that block.

The template.php file is attached.
Here is the code which appears on the webpage:

*

'delta' => '2',
'output_type' => 'view_fields',
'pager' => 'custom-pager',
'pager_container' => NULL,
'pager_event' => NULL,

'pager_width' => 195,
'imgcache_pager_item' => '',
'pager_position' => 'bottom',
'template' => 'custom',
'custom_template' => 'gradient-blue30p',
'view_name' => 'news_items',
)

*
