It was actually my fault so

It was actually my fault so the 1st issue has been resolved but the second one is still there which results in me having the same issue as Kelly below.

Re: It was actually my fault

Added answer from Kelly via to the thread. I think that is not the solution for your issue.
Please make an issue in the issue queue of the module. That is the preferred place.

link to chromatic-blue40l.zip does not work

Thank you for providing such a good module to us.

The links for downloading chromatic-blue10l.zip and chromatic-blue20l.zip work as expected. However, the link for downloading chromatic-blue40l.zip does not work. Would you please fix it for us to download it?

Would you please also provide chromatic-blue50l because we are very interested to have a combination of image and text pager. Thank you very much and wish all of you a happy New Year 2010.

re: link to chromatic-blue40l.zip

Thank you for reporting, change the file to download the chromatic-blue40l ddblock theme. You can now download the chromatic-blue40l.

At the moment we don't yet support the layout for chromatic-blue50l theme with image and text pager. But you can modify chromatic themes as the starting point to create your own custom ddblock theme layouts.

We provide more then 15 free themes for the dynamic display block module. More will be donated via our Sunday - Donation day!

Other theme layouts are for sale at http://themes.myalbums.biz

With purchasing a commercial theme you will save time to develop it yourself and help further development of the dynamic display block module. A commercial theme is tested for most popular browsers. The theme layout in the example is also for sale.

You can also develop themes yourself using your own graphics and customizing the CSS.

We do not offer free support for CSS customizations. Have a look at:Do you offer free support for CSS customizations of ddblock themes?

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Help adding nodes

Hello, I am following your very well done video on how to get a news feed working and I ran into a few problems. The first happened when you instructed me to change the Home » Administer » User management permissions for imagefield. Under permissions there is no option for imagefield and therefore couldn't do it, so I continued along the video.

After about 9 minutes of video, when you go to upload an image for a news feed (a new node), it fails, I get the error: 'Image field is required.' and nothing happens. I have played around with it for a while and can't get anything to work.

I just upgraded to 6.15 and I was wondering if that caused some problem, not sure though. I followed you directions exactly as you said, step for step. Thanks, this is a great project and I am looking forward to getting this to work.

Re: Help adding nodes

Did you download install the filefield module and did you enable the filefield module at: administer > Site Building > Modules?

Hey thanks for the speedy response. I got it to work, I got it to work when I disabled my wysiwyg editor module (yahoo yui).

chromatic-blue20l

I've wasted a good 2 hours trying to make the chromatic-blue20l theme to work properly, so I thought I'd share my experience with some of you. I installed the ddblock module and then followed the video tutorial patiently yesterday, so far, any created news blocks seem to work perfectly.

The content slider seems to work well with all the original 'upright' templates. However when I came to install the chromatic-blue20l, I couldn't get the slide text container and the page selector to show up properly. I know nothing about css, but I was able to spot that

On line 11 and 12 of 'ddblock-cycle-chromatic-blue20l.css', the reading pane was floating the wrong way round.

div.ddblock-cycle-chromatic-blue20l div.slide-image-right{float:left;}
div.ddblock-cycle-chromatic-blue20l div.slide-image-left{float:right;}

So what this css did to me was - when I selected the slide text container to display on the right hand side of the block (just like how it is advertised online), a small lag was introduced between the slide text container and display image, during each transition. Contrarily, if the left hand side display was selected, the text container and image would then properly couple together and fade away simultaneously each time.

Also be sure to select pager setting to 'prev next pager', I was misled by the video tutorial that I should select the custom pager option, as the 'chromatic-blue20l' is kinda listed under the custom theme.

Hope this helps to some.
Thanks

DDBlock News Slide Show Problems

I have followed the Video: http://www.archive.org/details/Ddblock-AdvancedDynamicDisplayBlockSlides..., just doing "start / stop / DO IT " for every step it was indicated, and everything went fine till the moment that in the video the ddBlock is visualized (with errors), but it could be seen... but on my Drupal website I couldn't make even to be visualized on the "Content" of everypage, (I have set it on Blocks!).
What may I be doing wrong?
Kind regards

just make sure you are

just make sure you are downloading the gradient-blue30p theme. download the file, go into gradient-blue30p.zip\custom\modules\ddblock\ and put all the content into the 'custom' folder of your theme. voila!

Re: DDBlock News Slide Show Problems

Please create an issue in the issue queue of the module.

Till where did you do the steps in the tutorial and where did you get the issue.
Can you explain more in the issue what steps you did?

Can you send your template.php file, the results of the drupal_set_message debug lines and a link to the Internet site if possible, otherwise a screenshot can also help.

Can't get themes to work

Hi there,

I really want to use this module for a rotating header image, but one of the things driving me absolutely crazy is the fact that much of the css is injected directly into the "style" attribute of the image tag, so overriding the appearance is proving to be far more complicated than I'd hoped.

I've tried downloading the free themes as a testbed for creating my own. Right now, I'm just trying to install one of the provided ones: chromatic-blue20l. However, following the README.txt instructions, the configuration section doesn't seem to make much sense...

1.) Goto the dynamic display block configuration screen.
2.) Choose custom for the template
3.) Type chromatic-blue20l (l from landscape) as the custom template name

There simply isn't a "template" field anywhere in the configuration screen for my Dynamic Display Block. Am I not looking in the right place? (Administer > Site Configuration: Dynamic Display Block > MyHeaderBlock : Configure Block)

I appreciate any help you might offer,
John

Re: Can't get the themes to work

Thanks for your interest in the dynamic display block module.

When you want to use the ddblock module for a rotating header image you probably use the basic options of the ddblock module.

The small border around this image is injected with JavaScript (The lines for this can be deleted, see: I see a kind of border around the image. How can i get rid of it? Once these line are deleted you can style the ddblock like you require.

When you use the advanced option of the ddblock module, using views and ddblock instances you can use the ddblock themes. Probably you use the basic options of the ddblock module, which is the reason you don't see the fields for the templates.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Thank you Very Much!

This module took me a while to get set up, but your very thorough documentation was quite helpful! What a versatile, awesome module. Thanks for your hard work!

Hi, This module looks

Hi,

This module looks great!

I am curious as to what exactly these two downloads will do for the module and also are they necessary in order to use ddb?

I'm hoping that I can eventually get it to look like and function as it does as the with Angelina Jolie does on the front page.

Thanks in advance

Re: Hi, This module looks

Thanks,

The upright10-50.zip theme files contain 5 different layouts for advanced dynamic display block slideshows.

The Export_files.zip files contain export files of a content-type and a view you can use to provide content for the dynamic display block module. It also contains two preprocess functions to provide variables for the themes.

You can make the themes, content types and views yourself, they are only there to make creating slideshows easier. The preprocess functions are needed to convert view-fields into template fields.

You can find information in the advanced slideshow tutorial how to install and configure the dynamic display block module.

Good luck with the installation and configuration of the dynamic display block module to create advanced slideshows.
