I have noticed a strange entry in the access logs for my site which simply says "Page Not Found Undefined" with a page url of "/undefined". It is generated every time someone visits the homepage at the same time as the log entry for that visit.

After some investigation it appears that this is being generated by a Views Slideshow block on the page which is a rendering an automatically scrolling list of text items (which only appears on that one page). I diagnosed this when I found that the entry in the logs stops appearing if I disable that block. Unfortunately my further investigations have given me no clues as to why this is happening.

Although this bug does not impact upon the average site visitor, it is annoying to have these entries in a log that a client is referring to. Any solutions to this problem or suggestions as to why it is happening would be appreciated. I include below the javascript being generated for the page and a sample of the page source for the block.

I am not sure why you would be getting this error. Looking at other issues it seems this happens with lightbox. Could it be that module causing the issue?

That is a possibility. I'll do more investigation focusing on that.

Thanks

Paul

I'm having the same problem with the same version of Views Slideshow. I don't have Lightbox2 installed (though I do have Colorbox).

It happens on all my pages and it's to do with a banner slideshow I have in the header. I created a page with nothing else on to check it - http://dev.creativeretailsolutions.co.uk/simple.

I have upgraded to version 6.x-3.0 and the problem has gone away.

EDIT - I then had to go back to version 6.x-2.3 because I realised the new version didn't have SingleFrame or ThumbnailHover in it any more, and now the error message is back...

It has it, they are just combined into the cycle module

Oh - sorry redndahead, only just seen your reply.

I will have to try upgrading to 6.x-3.0 again when I have time, as based on what happened last time this will probably solve the problem. The lack of an upgrade path makes me reluctant to try it at the moment though.

Sorry about the upgrade path, but with the amount of changes it just wasn't feasible.

Hi,

I am having the same problem. This suddenly hapenned in a production site that was stable for more than 3 years. At first I thought it was a problem in Panels and Ctools, since my view was in the home page. Then I identified that it was a specific view problem. Iḿ lookng for a solution to not have to update to VIews 3, since the site is in full production. Any clue?

Support for Views Slideshow 6.x is mostly deprecated (ie bug fixes and major errors may be looked at and security issues, but not really anything else), so closing.
