I've been trying to get this to work, but have yet to have it take effect on the page at all. I'm using a view block with an imagefield, node title, and a link. In the cycle style settings, I've set everything including the thumbnail field. I checked the page source to make sure the necessary files are included, and I've noticed a couple things:

  • both views_cycle.css and views_cycle_default are included in the header, but they are empty. I checked CVS to make sure it wasn't a download problem, and they are empty there, too, so I'm guessing they are supposed to be that way (although I'm not sure why)
  • the views_cycle.s and query.cycle.js files are added at the bottom of the page, and not in . I'm not a jQuery guru, so I'm guessing it's supposed to be that way. I initially had the same problem as other people did where they weren't being included, so I had added them directly to page.tpl.php, but then they starting being included by the module, so I removed those lines.

I'm attempting to display this block in a panel page, but I did try it as a block by itself to make sure, and the result is still the same.

I have this module working fine on another D6 site, so I'm stumped as to why it's not working here. Is there something else I could be missing? I also disabled Views data caching to see if that made a difference, but it didn't.

Thanks.

I was having an problem too, but then I tried changing the transition to "Fade" as I had yet to include the easing effects. It starting working no problem. Could this be the issue?

I had a similar problem until I discovered a corrupted js file. replacing the file fixed the problem.

Are you getting any javascript errors via Firebug?

I have found that after I upgraded from Beta 1. I had two blocks on my homepage which "cycled" through two different views. Those views have icons, which link to the nodes.

This was working just fine before I decided to upgrade to Beta 4. Beta 4 broke my CSS, but I noticed there are now more options in the CYCLE settings in the view now.

Before I could start playing around with the CSS, I figured out that there was also a new version of the Jquery plugin available at http://www.malsup.com/jquery/cycle/

I downloaded the new jquery.cycle.js.

After I uploaded it to my server, one of my cycles stopped working (was using Grow Vertical) while the other continued to work (using Fade). It appears that Beta 4 of this module only works with the FADE effect if you use the latest jquery.cycle.js file.

I rolled back to my old jquery.cycle.js file and the Beta 1 that I was using before.

If you feel like this module is not working, please try FADE effect first to see if you can get it to work that way. I welcome the new features, but it appears that they do not work with any transition effects in the latest jquery file.

Updated module to beta4 today, and everything works fine. At first it didn't work at all, but of course the module folder does not contain the jquery.cycle.js file. You have to download it from the jquery cycle page yourself, and then upload it to your views cycle folder.

I have no problems getting other effects than fade to work. In the jquery.cycle.zip download there are actually three versions of the script. According to the included readme.txt, jquery.cycle.lite.min.js only includes the fade effect, while jquery.cycle.all.min.js contains all the effects. Make sure you use the latter if you want other effects than fade. And remember to rename the file to "jquery.cycle.js" once you have uploaded it to your views_cycle module directory.

OK, I must be cursed, because I've tried on two separate sites and I have yet to get this to work. I've downloaded the library, and I have jquery.cycle.js in the views_cycle directory. I have the Prev and Next buttons, but when I click on them, nothing changes. I also have Node:Title and User:Name fields in my view. Could they be causing a problem?

Yea I have tried this on three sites, seems like this module is problematic. I downloaded and the tar had jquery.cycle.js in it? Makes no sense to me, does anyone have a solution?

I have no idea. It doesn't do any kind of cycling at all after following all directions and installing. I can tell that the content is being displayed as a cycle style now because it's got an unordered list bullet that it never had before - but it just sits there and doesn't cycle. I've alsy tried adding the previous and next buttons and clicking on them does nothing.

The beta4 auto-downloader is broken because the jquery.cycle folks changed their download structure. The next release switches to using Libraries API instead. That should make everything much more stable.
