Add a template.php file to your theme and had the preprocessor function there. You will also need to clear the theme registry.

Like nevets says: you need to create the template.php file yourself, when a theme does not have one itself and copy the preprocess function for the ddblock slideshow into it.
Clear the cache at administer > site configuration > performance

Drupal should find the preprocess functions now.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Tips:
Leave Assigned to unassigned, when you assign an issue to yourself, you say I am solving this myself nobody else needs to do something at the moment.

Putting a support request to Critical will not help getting support quicker, maybe even the opposite. Giving detailed information about your issue will improve getting quick and the right answers. (have also a look at other similar issue in the issue queue for what is normally asked, you can search on all issues to find similar issues)

You can read more in the Issue queue handbook to make you posts in issue queues and your journey with Drupal more fruitful.

A guess, you placed a closing ?> in the file. It is not required and it is recommended that it not be used. If this is case try removing it.

Did you use another view name and fields than the news_item view and field names we provided by default?

If yes, then you need to change the view name and field names in both preprocess function in the template.php file.

To find out the field names generated by cck/views you can uncomment the drupal_set_message lines at the top of the content preprocess function. This will show the viewname you use and the fieldnames generated by cck/views.

Have a look also at our FAQ Images not showing, only grey box for more information.

Do you have a link to your Internet site?

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

People can only help you better by explaining more detailed what you did, what you expect, what results you have, and e.g. attaching screenshots, code you use, page source of the particular page.

Repeating plz help anybody will not solve your problem.

Do you see the result of the debug lines when you reload the page with the slideshow?
Please attach the result, your template.php file and a link to the site, so I can help you better.

I had the same problem with my theme; But I built it from scratch you will need to build a brand new template.php file in your theme or use a different theme. If your theme does not have the template.php then preprocess functions will be hard to initiate without the file.
