No main frame module is enabled for views slideshow

erm mine (dumb brain) has not yet figured it out; what was needed to make it work please :) ?

edit: OK, I figured it out too; the Views Slideshow module is just the API; you need one of the additions to make it work (e.g., Views Slideshow: Cycle). I just enabled it, downloaded the required library and it works fine now.

It works only on D6. What happens to D7 installations?

I also stucked here. Thanks for the post, It helped me.

Thanks a lot. It has been solved

What can be done for D7, Views cycle is not available for D7.
Any Solution?

Do a module search for views slide show with a filter for drupal 7
I have not tried yet but
views_slideshow_galleria
looks great

Hi - came here because of the same issue, thanx for the post.
JagPHP - I recon
views_slideshow_slider
Views Slideshow Liquid Carousel
Views Slideshow: Galleria
Views Slideshow Xtra
Views Slideshow: Dynamic Display Block
Views Slideshow Configurable Controls
All look like they will work (I have not tried any of yet but like the look of Galleria)

thanks!

Thanks man.. Trying to help people doesn't come under the 'dumb brain' category.

I also stucked here. Thanks for the post, It helped me. Gracias.

I too was completely baffled as to what this message means. My case was that I had not enabled the "Views Slideshow: Cycle" module on staging environment.

I would propose to improve the message, so that people would have a better idea when this happens what to do, rather than having to hunt in the forums. In _views_slideshow_preprocess_views_slideshow() instead of:

  if (empty($main_frame_module)) {
    drupal_set_message(t('No main frame module is enabled for views slideshow.'), 'error');
  }

  if (empty($main_frame_module)) {
    drupal_set_message(t('No main frame module is enabled for views slideshow. 
    	This is often because another module which Views Slideshow needs is not enabled.
    	For example, 3.x needs a module like "Views Slideshow: Cycle" enabled.'), 'error');
  }

I thought of adding module_exists(views_slideshow_cycle) test, then I thought of adding
"dependencies[] = views_slideshow_cycle" to views_slideshow.info but I understand that other modules could be used instead of views_slideshow_cycle.

Anyway, a clearer message should help over 90% of people.

For D7 just enable module Views Slideshow: Cycle

Here's a patch based on what drupalshrek proposed.
