Dynamic display block slideshow module for Drupal

Minor error on install of examples. vsd-upright-10p not selected for Template: in upright10 block so uses it default settings. As result there is no number pager generated.

Comment.

This is the direction you are going? If so, how about a little bit of documentation to build the example by hand? Or any documentation at all would be nice. Anything would help in trying to figure out how to use it.

Thanks

I am extremely confused as to exactly which directions apply to DDBlock vs. directions that apply to Views Slideshow: DDBlock.

I have installed Views Slideshow: DDBlock and JQuery Update.

I have a Views Slideshow already set up that works fine as a Singleframe. I now want to go in and change this View to utilize the new ddblock functionality. However, when I change it over in the settings, it gives me the following errors on my page:

* warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in drupal\sites\all\themes\xxxxx\custom\modules\views_slideshow_ddblock\views-slideshow-ddblock-cycle-pager-content-vsd-upright10.tpl.php on line 40.
* warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in drupal\sites\all\themes\xxxxx\custom\modules\views_slideshow_ddblock\views-slideshow-ddblock-cycle-block-content-vsd-upright10.tpl.php on line 48.

Did I install the free theme incorrectly (I copied the "custom" folder into "sites/all/themes/xxxxx")? Do I need to add the preprocess functions to the template.php file? I'm stuck.

When I insert the line into the template.php file:
function chromatic-blue20l_preprocess_ddblock_cycle_block_content(&$vars) {

I get the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '-', expecting '(' in /home/clint12/public_html/dcms/themes/marinelli/template.php on line 218

If I change the dash to an underscore, I get a blank page .. I suspect it's not that simple. Do I have to change every reference to "chromatic-blue"? or is there an escape I can use?

Thanks!

I can't get this to work properly. I'm not sure why. When I look at the block that is created I just have images stacked on top of each other. I don't get a slide show.

I am having trouble following the video at 11:47. Maybe im doing something wrong or somehow missed something or using the wrong version of something, but when it comes to configuring the block i do not have the same menu selections as in the video. this is what i see.

And when I get to 18:30 editing the template file i get a message that looks like this.

I also dont really know where I can preview the view that I created... I am new to drupal and dont really have a lot of html knowledge. However it was a very informative video, just a little blurry at some times. Thank you for any help.

Can someone please help me out?I have followed the instructions on the video but seem to be stuk ay 7.30 mark. I downloaded Export_files_V1.6.zip, copied the the code from note pad into the content type, import box but it refuses to import the file. My screen just goes blank with nothing happening.Is there something i am doing wrong?

Also, another problem i have is with the imagefield boxex not appearing under permissions. If i go to modules, the imagefield box is enabled under cck, so i dont know what the problem is.

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

hello.
First to congratulate them and to thank them for the very good module work thanks
I have installed the version once was advanced.
Problem: It works well with mozilla except that the buttons from below do not focus to the changing of image and with IE 8 does not work the buttons from below since he goes out without text neither the sliding text appears .
Thank you for his help

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

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!

Thanks alot... :)
