Hello,

I installed Nivo Slider and configured it correctly but it does not show up well.
When the page is loading I see some of the pictures but when Nivo Slider is ready they are overlapped and the CSS-properties don't change. When I use Firebug to change the display-property of one image from hidden to eg. block the picture is visible.

The site I want to use the Slider is http://www.furtgo.at/neue-startseite

Is someone able to help me, please?

I am having exactly the same problem. The captions show up but absolutely no images. I checked and double checked the install but still cant get the images to show up. My setup: Drupal 6.19, jQuery 1.3.2.

I was taking a look at the module and i cant reproduce this bug... I am thinking that is a bug from nivo slider js lib....

I have updated the nivo slider library now.

Please, tomorrow will be released a next 6.x-2.x-dev version.

Dowload and install the dev version and check if this bug is solved.

If OK, i will release a new version, but if not ok, i will try to find this problem again.

Similar problem - only the first and last images (of 4 slides in total) were displayed correctly. The first, second and third images did not change.

The thumbnails were displayed correctly though. The links and text were also correct.

Guessing that there is probably a typo affecting the array construction.

PS: I'm using the dev version(s).

I'm having this problem as well, but it appears to be happening only with images that have text in them.

terete,

(First: I'm not a dev, and have no association with this module other than that I use it currently on 2 sites for a slideshow - 1 on each site)

Do you have your permissions set correctly? It sounds like you don't have the permissions for anonymous users to view the content... make sure they can see the View as well as the objects within the view.

I know when I just went to your site (I'm obviously not logged into it), I saw 3 images with headers and text within the images... not sure if that's what is not working or not..

I noticed that if I had different sized pictures, then when a smaller one would show after a larger one previous, you could still see part of the larger one basically next to/below/above, depending upon alignment, the new smaller image.

Is this what the OP is talking about? If so, the easiest/quickest fix to get it up and running is to make sure all the images in the slideshow are the same size/dimensions.

I have this problem yesterday. Try http://drupal.org/node/869190
It fix the bug for me.

Any update?

It had the same problem.
Apparently, if the image path has spaces, it doesn't work. My image field was set to upload files to a directory path that contained the "date tz" - date time zone - which in my case looked something like /sites/default/files/imagecache/large/02/17/2011 - 19:12/filename.jpg.
I solved it by changing this directory name and never using file names with spaces ;)

P.S.: I just saw this, which will probably solve my issue.

It's also mentioned here: http://drupal.org/node/819132#comment-3057476

Different browsers handle the spaces differently, however, post 10 in this thread (by dnaminot) looks like it should fix it.

I was having an issue where only the captions were showing up and it was the permissions. The permissions for viewing the fields I added were disabled. Working great now, thanks.

I am having some issue after I installed Nivo slider. The thing is that I created the view with 5 images and I can see the images with the titles when I access the website user the webmaster (administrator user), but when I put the website online the view only shows the title. I checked the permission for the imagecache which seems to be fine. I have to mention that I have an Artisteer theme. would you please help me with this issue? Thank you very much indeed!

Hi, I found the solution! I accessed the http://myserver.com/admin/user/permissions link and ticked view field_images at the content_permissions module (The type of field I created for my gallery is "images" so you have to check whatever type of field you created for your gallery) so when you go to permissions you have to allow authenticated and anonymous user or any other user to view this field (see attached screenshot). Thanks a lot! I hope it helps.

ynca99 same position no view image just view text :(((

Can you attach the screenshots of your view configuration and slider itself? Just to check you are on the right way with nivo slider and see if I can help you. Did you also allow anonymous user to view imagecache to see your images?If you see the text I think there is something wrong with the view configuration like it happened to me. Keep in touch!

Hi again mailadresilazim! I attached my view configuration. It might solve your issue. Have a look at it. Remember to active the modules required by nivo slider so it can work like mine! Just let us know if any good news.

mailadresilazim, I sent you the installations procedure for Nivo Slider, please check your email and have a look at it. I check your website as you requested and I think you have some permission issues with the /sites/defaults/files, try to have a look at it following the recommendations I wrote to you. Let us know if you have good news.

I had the same problem and found out what the problem was using firebug.

I had only the caption and not the image showing up. Even as admin (So no permission problems).
In firebug I saw that the img src was linked to http://mydrupalsite.org/sites/mydrupalsite.org/imagecache/original-image...

Even when in the view the image was linked to his original image which was without imagecache!
As soon as I created the original-image present without altering the image itself. It worked just fine.

Basicly the module hardcode the imagecache original-image present as the image location. Which is kinda stupid. They should just take what the view is bringing them. In the view you can select image cache properties if you like it. Now you must use it.

Hi,
I have some problem.
I have tried with permission but the Views don't work.
I have attach the views and the permission.
If I use in the Views for "Row style" the "Field", I show the images.
If in the "Row style" I select "Views Nivo Slider" and I choise only Title, with Image , it's work... For me the problem is for images

scatteredbrainV’s picture

Hi.
I've checked all of your comments, but none seems to offer a solution to the problem of images not displaying.
If I use firebug, I can see a thumb of the image in firebug, the dots under the images in the slider show up, but I can't see any image.
All the roles have the right permissions to see the fields.
What can it be?
Can anybody help, please?

I just installed the dev version and it fixed the problem.

aiphes’s picture

Version: 6.x-2.0 » 6.x-2.x-dev

after install the new dev version i've this warning :

warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/drupal6/sites/all/modules/views_nivo_slider/views-nivo-slider-view.tpl.php on line 40.

if i select the row style plugin as nivo slider, no image appear because i've a 404 on image cache folder...but if i select node as row style, i see the thumbs but not the big image (cause the IC issue) so i think it could works

just what i need.. i've encountered the same problem..

lucky i found this thread.. such a life saver :)

GiorgosK’s picture

for me I needed to configure "Row style: Views Nivo Slider" and pick the elements to use

sethviebrock’s picture

Comment #30 did the trick (guess I skimmed through the docs too fast) - I think many of us may have been using 6.x-2.0 stable (without configuring the rows style) which still showed images but didn't display captions properly, so we upgraded to 6.x-2.x-dev and saw no images.
