Hi there-

I've set up a view where the image fields from a node should appear in a block rather than within the node itself. The view consists of a block with fields selected (one field - the images), and then an argument (node ID; "Provide default argument"; and then Node ID from URL).

If I select any other format for the image field, the block appears as expected. However, when jquery slideshow is selected as the format, the block content is empty (the block appears in the markup but there are no images).

Wondering if this by design, or, if not, how I might remedy this.

Thanks!

-S

It sounds like you are using the Views Arguments incorrectly.

From my understanding: Arguments are for pages to add additional variables using the url (e.g. /calendar.. then with arguments /calendar/2009/11/21)

I am having this issue myself. Currently, I have following the brief setup steps, and can create a slideshow node. However, creating a page with rotating images and nothing else doesn't seem that useful. I was hoping to use this at the top of each page, for rotating header images, by integrating this functionality into a block or view.

I am using Views, so I created a Block display for the view, set Field= Content: Image, with format set to "jQuery slideshow", Filtered based on Node Type=Imagerotator (that is, the slideshow content type I created), but this just displays the images from the node, one after the other, not as a slideshow.

Any suggestions?

Sorry, I don't think the slideshow will work in a block yet, but that's a good suggestion, we'll have to add that to the wish list.
