Using IMCE images with the views slideshow ddblock module (Fixed)

In the views_slideshow_ddblock preprocess function I use a function in the module to add an image to make it more simple for users.

You can use the same code which you would use in the preprocess function of the ddblock module to add an image.

What is the code you would use with the ddblock module to add IMCE support?

Please attach the code, so I can help you better.

You can use the same code in the preprocess function

([vsd_theme_name]_preprocess_views_slideshow_ddblock_pager_content) 

for the pager as you did in the content preprocess function

 ([vsd_theme_name]_preprocess_views_slideshow_ddblock).

Do you have a link to the Internet site?

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Hi,

May I ask You to share me information how can I use IMCE Image with Views Slideshow: Dynamic Display Block?
The regular ddblock is working fine with the IMCE, but no success with the Views version.

Here is a piece of my template.php code (The After the ====== signs is the regular ddbloc, and after the ++++++ signs is the views ddblock. I don't show my modifications at the views part because it don't work)

OK, Here is the solution to my question:

Views Slideshow: Dynamic Display Block + IMCE Image field

Copy this code to your theme's template.php with out the < ? php in the first line.
(IMCE Image field name may be something else)
