Upgrading to 2.0 made a slideshow block stop working

Are you using singleframe or ThumbanilHover? If you are using thumbnailhover then make sure you use the dev version. Also you may need to reset your slide settings in the view. Without seeing the site I'm not sure what the problem might be.

If it's not showing then there may be something wrong with your view. You can change the style to unformatted to see if your view appears. If not then it's something wrong with the view.

Same problem here. Slideshows not working after upgrade. The views were working fine before. I'll try recreating the views.

Rebuilding view fixed it.

It's singleframe. I'm going to try making a new view from scratch today and see if that works.

postponed. waiting for your results.

drubytue, can you elaborate? How did you "rebuild" the view? I'm experiencing this issue, as well, and would like to fix asap. Many thanks. [UPDATE: disregard, as I was able to rebuild the slideshow view for the block. Thanks.]

Should be just set re select the views slideshow settings. Not the entire view.

Hi,

we just recently update to version 2.0 of views_slideshow and it stops working. So I'll recreate the view, but the block view doesn't show anything while the default view does.

A closer look into the source code shows, that the div is simply empty. It's a singleframe slideshow.

Since I'm not very familiar with Drupal, i just took over the administration of the website recently, i appreciate any help, to get this block working again.

The block should displayed on this page http://www.editura.de/referenzen at top of the content.

Best regards

Do you have ajax enabled for the slideshow view? It won't work with ajax.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I had AJAX enabled. I disabled it now, but had no luck. The block still doesn't show any images.

regards

Can you try switching it to unformatted. Does the view print out as a list on the page?

Yes if I switch to unformatted I'll get a list of the pictures.

Have you tried clearing the drupal theme cache? You can do this by going to admin/build/themes and then just clicking save.

I flushed all caches, but no luck, the block doesn't show up.

Try uninstalling views_slideshow and views slideshow singleframe. Delete all files then upload the new version and try again. Something is not getting picked up somewhere.

Same problem here. View works with Unformatted. Recreated the view without luck. Removed and re-installed without luck.

Try to use the latest dev of views_slideshow module (views slideshow 6.x-2.x-dev (2010-Apr-29)) and the stable release of views (views 6.x-2.10 (2010-Apr-08)).

@natuk do you have a site to look at? Is it not outputting anything? Did you upgrade from an earlier version of views? If so what version?

My report maybe it helps someone

I had built views slideshow with Unordered / singleFrame from dev release from march 20th

Today I tried to update to the latest dev from April 29th and slideshow stopped working
updated with the 2.0 release from April 20th and the slideshow is working again
(using latest views 2.10)

to #21
GiorgosK
have you also re-saved your view and slideshow settings after updating to the latest dev?

i updated from views_slideshow dev (21 April) to the current dev. I don't see any problems.

@GiorgosK I committed a patch found in #786994: JavaScript Error preventing slideshow to move. This should fix the latest dev release.

Can everyone please try the next dev release and see if it fixes it for you?

@redndahead
with the new dev version the slideshow upgrade seems to work

I am having the same trouble upgrading. We upgraded to 6.x-2.0 and that wasn't working at all for us. We followed the suggestions on this thread: Removed the module then reinstalled and reconfigured the view, flushed caches etc. This works a little better in that at least it will display the View block in the preview. However, on the actually block published to the homepage it displays nothing. The block HTML code is being written, but no images are being rotated.

I am using latest stable Views 6.x-2.10. We are not doing anything with CSS on the block or using any views template overrides.

Is there any javascript errors? If you have firebug installed it should show any javascript errors that you might have. If you have a site that I could look at it would help also.

http://www.citylawtutors.co.uk/

This is the site. I have published the slideshow block in the footer region. It should be a rotating image in the header, but I have made a static image in the header until I can get the slideshow working again.

There are no javascript errors being thrown in Firebug and the following scripts are included on the page:

/sites/all/modules/views_slideshow/js/jquery.cycle.all.min.js
/sites/all/modules/views_slideshow/contrib/views_slideshow_singleframe/views_slideshow.js

try upgrading to 2.x-dev. There is some rendering fixes now. See if that helps.

Sorry, I should have been clearer - I had installed the stable 2.0 version initially and that wasn't working at all for me, no block and no Views preview. I then followed the earlier suggestion to install the 2.0-dev version (published May 10). The dev version was definitely an improvement since the image is now displaying in the Views preview. However, it doesn't display in the published block on the homepage.

I'm trying to debug this and if I come up with a solution I will submit any necessary patches. But right now I'm drawing a blank.

Sorry the newest one hadn't been built yet. Try the 14th version.

Tried everything, nothing is appering. Also made update from version 1. Query is very simple

SELECT node.nid AS nid
FROM node node
WHERE node.type in ('image')

image is just node type with imagefield, unformated works fine. Slideshow shows no html either on dev or normal.

p.s.
views 6.x-2.10
drupal 6.16

I know this works so have you tried clearing the cache? Can you attach the views export? Do you have any tpl.php files that are overriding the output? Is there a demo site that I can look at?

Found out what was the problem!!!

When updating from old versions i usually just take new version of module and overwrite files. And usually there is no problem but somehow this made slide broke down because of presence of some old files.
Now i just delete all and uploaded new module and its ok. So seems that this is the problem for all!

I've tried everything listed here (uninstall, wipe module clean, reinstall new copy, run updates, flush caches, rebuild view, change to unformatted, etc.) and am still getting no images in a slideshow that was previously working. I can't show you the problem in my production site because I've reverted back to slideshow 6.x-1.0-beta2 and it works flawlessly again.

However, I've upgraded my local/dev copy of the site where both 6.x-2.0 and 6.x-2.x-dev return an empty div (a single blank line between tags) for class='view-content'.

Can anyone suggest to me what the root of the problem is here so that I can try to debug and figure out what's still wrong with my upgrade attempts?

OK, just answered my own question...

My upgrade path left me with 4 modes to pick from in the Slideshow options: SingleFrame, ThumbnailHover, Single frame, and Thumbnail hover. Well, the last two are apparently left-over from the 6.x-1.0-beta2 installation and they do not work, of course. Having now selected the SingleFrame option all is working as it should, I believe.

After installing May 18th 6.x-2.0-dev and completely rebuilding the view the slideshow block works as normal again. Thanks for the quick resolution of this redndahead - you're a rockstar.

Thanks atheneus glad it's working for you.

OK I'm marking this as fixed. If anyone still has issues feel free to open up a new issue.

Couldn't figure out how to get things working with the latest upgrades since version one, then finally noticed that new sub-modules had to be enabled. It working now. Thanks. Nice new features.

I also had this problem.
The fix was to:
a) Enable the new Views Slideshow SingleFrame module.
b) Change the Style: Slideshow to use "SingleFrame" instead of the "Single Frame" choice. (Seems like either the name should not have been changed from "Single Frame" to "SingleFrame", OR the old settings should have been converted to the new ones by the DB update?)

I have another subdomain site in the same Drupal installation. Separate database.
On THIS one, the slideshow stopped working as well.
The problem is that there is no "SingleFrame" or "ThumbnailHover" choice. Just the older "Single Frame" and "Thumbnail Hover".

So, why weren't these added with the db update?
And how can I get them added?

There is no db update I can do to make these changes. You will probably have to recreate your view since there is no upgrade path. Sorry about that, but views doesn't give me a good way to update these variables.

@#42 CasaDelGato
I am not sure, but i think there is still an old version of Views Slideshow somewhere on your werbserver.

Actually, I just figured this one out. I had to enable the 2 new Views Modules for the view types.
That added the 2 new types, but did NOT remove the old no-longer-valid types.
