Hello all,

I am hoping somebody has experienced this before and can help. I am redesigning my church's website in Drupal 6.13. We settled on the WhiteJazz Theme which allowed out of the box drop down menus. The only thing we were lacking was a front page that had rotating intuitive images with an embedded link that you can click on that would take to you to the location in the website that the picture represented.

I researched which module would be best to accomplish this and settled on the Rotor Banner. In reading the Rotor banner information on Drupal
http://drupal.org/project/rotor
I downloaded and installed the following modules

jquery_plugin-6.x-1.10.tar.gz ==> required for Rotor Module
jquery_update-6.x-1.9.tar.gz ==> not required for Rotor Module, but is listed under the Advice section to improve performance
upload_element-6.x-2.4.tar.gz ==> Required for Rotor Module
rotor-6.x-2.4.gz

Installing the modules was easy. Then I went into the modules section of the Administration part of Drupal and enabled them all at the same time then saved. I went into the Rotor create content section but did not create anything just to see what configurable options there were. What happened next was weird. After I got out of the create Rotor content section without saving, I could no longer use the site as an ordinary user nor an admin. You could get to the home page but that's it. If you clicked on any link that on the page or in the drop down menus, the whole site would turn grey and a slideout image would then pop up and show the image of a camera inside a circle with an X through it. You could get to the admin login page and log in, then the same thing would happen if you click any link or menu item in the site. The whole site would turn grey and a slideout image would then pop up and show the image of a camera inside a circlle with an X through it.

The only way I could fix this situation was to ask the ISP's tech support to roll back the MySQL DB to a time just before I enabled the 4 modules. They are still deployed in the website's file system, just not enabled.

I would like to make this work, but now I am hesitant to try anything as it could render the site inoperable again. Any thoughts or ideas on what is going wrong?

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks,
Warren

Do you have the lightbox2 module installed by any chance? If so, upgrade it to the latest -dev version (This is a known bug in lightbox2)

Aha! I do have lightbox2 installed and never actually used it although it was enabled. I will disable it and try the rotor ad again. Thanks for the response.
