The ddblock is working and showing fine on every page including the front page when loggd in as admin,
But it will show on every page accept the front page when not logged in.

How do I make it show on the front page when not logged in?

Strange issue.

The only way I could think of to accomplish what you see is by: PHP code in the block config not to show it on the front page for anonymous users.

I don't have any suggestions.

Do you have a link to the slideshow on your Drupal site?
What browser are you using?

I have messed around for hrs but as a non coder I have little idea.
It will work when placed in some blocks (left side bar and content etc.) but not in the banner blocks i want it in.
But it still makes no sense to me that it will work logged in but not anonymous.

I use firefox but have tested in IE also with no luck.

Ill leave the site online for a day or 2 so you can have a look

Had a look at your site and see it is working on other pages then the front page.

Can you have a look at the block configuration page, if you have selected:

Show on every page except the listed pages.
and put <front> in the pages field

That would explain the result.

Like said before, otherwise I would have no idea how to accomplish this.

Thanks ppblaauw

I actually want it to show only on the front page, and tried
"Show on only the listed pages."
and put in the pages field

but then it doesn't show up at all on any page. Unless im logged in, then it shows up just fine on the front page.

I might try and set another page as the front page and see if it works.

It seems to work with other themes, So I might just have to give up on this one if I cant work it out.
Just seems strange that it does work when im logged in.

Thanks

I tried it with a couple of other themes (works fine other than the title shows even when input in some themes.), then came back to the one i started with, I tried the ddb in a couple of different regions then returned it to its original one and its not showing pics now, I went over and over the settings and see no reason for it to not work anymore, nothing had changed. I created a new ddblock identical to use instead and thats working fine.

I think ill just buy one of themesharks themes once i have all content worked out.

I'm had the same problem, which despite spending hours checking the obvious "permissions" setting I somehow missed. The problem for me, was that I was only checking for field_image since the image werent showing. But you also need pager checked for the images to show.

In your user permission page, check you have 'annon..' enabled for:

view field_image
View field_pager_item_text
view field_slide_text

Probably you have the content permissions sub module of CCK enabled and did not give permissons for the image field and text field. The title field from the node shows up, but not the added CCK fields.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Thanks guys, Just got back from an interstate trip.

Played around with it tonight and I dont think thats my problem, I have moved the block to the content region of the theme and it works fine on the front page for annon and logged in users.
It just wont work in the regions I want it in! for annon users :(
Very weird.

To me worked what Bimble said:

In your user permission page, check you have anonymous user enabled for view dynamic display blocks.

I have the same problem. I set the permissions under admin/user/permissions to view dd dynamic display blocks. for anonymous authenticated and administrator.

ddblock module

view dynamic display blocks .

Worked after logging out.

I had a similar problem with the blocks. The following solution worked for me:
Goto: Site Configuration -> Performance
and at the bottom of the page click on 'Clear cached data' button.
