I have a fresh install of 7.x-2.37. Everything works properly, including the default front page slide show. Currently using the Omega Kickstart 7.x-3.4 (default theme).

I have downloaded views, views_slideshow and all required modules. I also added the jquery.cycle.all.js file to the sites/all/libraries/jquery.cycle directory.

This is the same process I follow to build a views slideshow on a non-commerce kickstart drupal site. Works perfectly there. On the commerce kickstart site, the view shows up as a block as designed but there is no slideshow happening. Only the most recent content appears (even though the view is set to display all content of a given type) and the controls (previous, pause, resume, next) do not work. When hovering over the block, the pause resume text does toggle properly but it doesn't actually do anything, even when clicked.

Is there anything in the commerce kickstart profile that's over-riding the libraries or conflicting with the jquery.cycle library making it not possible to use?

Sorry for the delay. For some reason the notification about your first comment must have gone to spam or I somehow otherwise missed the message. Apologies for that.

There are no errors in the console. I did find a workaround of sorts.

If the views slideshow module is placed in the standard location (sites > all > modules > contrib) and the library is placed in the standard location (sites > all > libraries), then commerce kickstart does not recognize the modules and they do not function.

However, if the modules are placed in (profiles > commerce_kickstart > modules > contrib) and the library is placed into (profiles > commerce_kickstart > libraries), then they do work properly.

I picked up the lead on how to accomplish this via this stackexchange post: http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/204010/views-slideshow-wont-sh...

However, while this works for now, I think there's still a problem because I believe this isn't the correct way to install the modules and that when/if we update to the newer version, it will erase/overwrite the contrib modules and library that are now making a views slide show work properly on the front page of our site.

Can you please let me know what to do so that the modules can be installed in their correct location so that we can update without causing problems?

Hi knowledges33ker,

I tried to place the views slideshow module in the standard location i.e. sites > all > modules > contrib and also added jquery.cycle.all.js file to the sites/all/libraries/jquery.cycle directory. I am able to find out the views slideshow module with it's required JS library in the modules list and enabled the same. All are functioning properly.

I think as your mentioned issue you have also downloaded the Views module which is not required as it is already added in the commerce kickstart location i.e. profiles > commerce_kickstart > modules > contrib
