Hi, I'm experimenting Views Slideshow 6.x-3 and it seems that Views Slideshow: Dynamic Display Block doesn't work with it:
- create a view returning ImageField fields
- set Slideshow style
- choose DDblock as Slideshow mode
- map an ImageField field as source for slide image
clicking on update sorts no effects: the settings are not saved

Have I to go back to Views Slideshow 6.x-2, or there is a path to port DDB to 6.x-3 ?
TIA

Installed views 3.0 alpha and views_slideshow 6.x-3.0-beta1 but was not able to save the display style settings of views_slideshow.
Are you able to set the display style setting of views_slideshow?

Yes I was...
But I reverted to Views 2 now.

When I tried DDblock on 6.x.3, the page with its specific settings was shown, but pressing on the update button pointed to no changes: the screen remained the same (obviously I tried to press more than once).

Instead, the setting page for views_slideshow was OK.

I was wrong ! After further investigation, I've found it to be a Views Slideshow module problem.
I've a web site in development where I've set up a panel with a view using slideshow DDB style. That view (6.x.2) is complex (using contexts and arguments), but the slideshow is working correctly.
Now I need to leverage some 6.x-3 new features (better grouping, translating, etc.), so I've tried to upgrade Views and Views Slideshow to 6.x-3.x-dev.

The site is still running correctly, but the slideshow DDB settings form is behaving strange: it shows all the properties and I can change something (e.g. the transition effect), but when I press the Update bottom, the form remains there (it should close and give me the ability to save).
Anyway, when I press "Cancel" and save the view form... the changes are applied on the site (i.e. the transition effect is affected).

I also tried to change the slideshow mode from DDblock to Cycle (integrated in Views Slideshow), and the strange behaviour is the same. So, I'm turning my attention to Views Slideshow module.

+1 to make DDBlock compatible with Slideshow 6.3

Hi Ppblauw, do you have some (rough) ETA for this?
Thanks a lot.

It should work with views 3, but it will not work with views_slideshow 3.x
You will need to use views_slideshow 2.x till a version of views_slideshow_ddblock is created which is compatible with views_slideshow 3.x

Views_slideshow 3.x is still actively developed and it has a different API as views_slideshow 2.x

If you don't need to use views_slideshow functionality and views_slideshow_ddblock functionality in different slideshows at the same time, there is no need for version 3.x of the views_slideshow module.

Set status to postponed for now, till there is more clarity about the final API for views slideshow 3.x

maybe now the time has come for that (to thinking about that at least :)
because views slideshow is final 3.0 finally (and views 6.3 is rc 1)
so api couldn't be changed more.
what do you think?
Thank you.

Feel free to create a patch if views_slideshow does now supports plugins like it did with version 6.x-2

Some WIP, this adds hook_views_slideshow_slideshow_info() so the plugin shows up in Views 3. It isn't finished, I had to disable views_slideshow_ddblock.admin.js because the DOM structure changed, but I'll get to those; I also haven't tested the output yet.
