Slideshow showing duplicates when displayed in block header [#239239]

Thanks for this great module - I love it!

It is working great when I create a content type that includes an image field. Then I create a view using the Block and Slideshow List and turn that block on in the content area of a node - excellent.

When I try to turn the same view on in the block header section to create a banner slideshow, it duplicates the first image and displays the rest of them underneath each other. I have tried adding 'background-repeat: no-repeat;' and 'display: inline;' to the style the header is wrapped in but it doesn't help.

#header-region {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 130px;
height: 200px;
width: 1000px;
padding: 0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
display: inline;
}

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks,
Shelley :)

I found a way to, at least temporarily, fix it for me. Not sure if it's the proper way but it works.

In your template style.css put:

.views_slideshow_active_teaser {
display: none;
}

.views_slideshow_div_breakout_teaser {
display: none;
}

Thanks to Firebug for that one!

This is happening to me as well, using Drupal 6 and latest version of Views Slideshow.

When a Views Slideshow block is used in the header region, its items are duplicated. When the same block is used in another region (e.g. right sidebar), the slideshow works as intended.

The Views block I set up is of a simple 5 node titles that works like a "Latest News" slideshow. Every node title, linked to its node is supposed to slide for a second, one after the other. When the block is in the header region it displays as follows:

1st slide: Node 1 Node 2 Node 3 Node 4 Node 5
2nd: Node 1 Node 2 Node 3 Node 4
3rd: Node 1 Node 2 Node 3
4th: Node 1 Node 2
5th: Node 1

After the 5th slide the behavior becomes normal and only one node title (linked to its node) is shown at a time.

Setting for the Views block are:
Fields: Node:Title
Filters: Node:Type (Page), Node:Published (Yes)

Block Basic Settings:
Style:Slideshow (Single Frame)

I'm using Drupal 6.12, Views 2.5 and Views Slideshow 1.0 Beta 2.
