Slick view and Drupal 7.50 new issue

See https://www.drupal.org/node/2487215 on how to correct this error

Correcting the version to 7.50

I just upgraded 20 of my student's sites (spring term is over and the students have left) to 7.50 and discovered this new warning on 13 of them.

Was able to fix all 13 by following procedure in https://www.drupal.org/node/2487215

To me, this exactly works as advertised and I think it is a great new feature.

Hmm... version in box on top right (right of summary) says "7.50" but version in editable field metadata is "7.5".
Reported as bug here: #2762953: Select elements should use strict comparison

Re#6. saving comment pulled version back to "7.5". Fixing version again.

kazaa,
at least for me it works as advertised.

Here is what I do if the module that is missing is named "module_name":

drush en module_name -y
drush cc all
drush dis module_name -y 
drush pm-uninstall module_name -y
drush cc all

If there are submodules involved, you need to handle all of them in the correct order. Without submodules the procedure is very straightforward.

(And I'm correcting version no. again.)

@kazaa, could you explain in more detail what you did to disable and uninstall the module, and also what you meant by "after reinstallation again I see this notice"?

Does the warning keep happening, or just once? I think a single warning after turning it back on could just be a residual message from earlier.

Also make sure you clear your site's caches.

Did you uninstall slick_views and slick_example too?

We're running into this issue as well after upgrading to Drupal 7.50. We're running off a fairly clean install of Drupal as it's a new project. slick_views and slick_example were never actually installed prior to the upgrade just the main module. The above procedure didn't clear the issue for us either.

@mattpfeffer What's in the system table referring to slick_% then?

Seems like this could be caused by the Slick Carousel module? - see #2764893: Error message when using Drupal 7.50

If people can confirm that's the same issue, we can close this as a duplicate.

@David_Rothstien @cilefen I can confirm that the patch from yesterday (#10) in that thread resolved the issue for me. Looks to be a problem with Slick Carousel.

#22: The best course of action for this is to download variable module and uninstall it afterwards as described in the notes.

Yes, that should be covered by the documentation at https://www.drupal.org/node/2487215, I think.

It sounds like the Slick-related errors are all covered by the patch in the other issue, so I'm re-closing this. (You can create a new issue if there are other problems not solved by the steps in the documentation though.)

Exactly, that isn't related to the Slick module, so there's no reason to reopen the issue. Please follow the instructions on the documentation page. The variable module is https://www.drupal.org/project/variable.

Great, glad it works!

you can use this module https://www.drupal.org/project/missing_module for remove or disable your missing module
after install module check your drupal report goto admin/reports/status , and find out "Check for missing modules in filesystem" then you can remove or disable your missing module using clicks
thanks.

The error "User warning: The following module is missing from the file system: slick_example." appears when I activate the slick_ui module...

The module slick_example doesn't seem exist (https://www.drupal.org/project/slick_example = 404 error and this is only slick_fields and slick_ui into the module directory Slick)
So I think that the lines 102 and 108 of the slick/slick_ui/slick_ui.module are not necessary and cause the error message...

No (Maybe not... I don't have many xp in drupal development...) ?

Hi, C3liu3
According to your error message, i have just check slick_extras module (https://www.drupal.org/project/slick_extras).
and i see slick_example module in side the slick_extras module, so i think you need to first uninstall module then install updated module.
i hope this is help for you

Hi prabin91,

Thanks for your feedback... I don't have the slick_extras module on my website...
It is not necessary for the basic module works.

Would it be mandatory for not have error message?

Hi, C3liu3
are you using "slick_example" module on your website ?
if not then we have another solution to remove this error use missing module.
you can use this module https://www.drupal.org/project/missing_module for remove or disable your missing module.
After install module check your drupal report go to admin/reports/status , and find out "Check for missing modules in filesystem" then you can remove or disable your missing module using clicks
thanks.

SOLVED

Debug: Downloaded and installed https://www.drupal.org/project/slick only. Got this error about missing slick_views and slick_examples.

Downloaded these 2 modules and put them in sites/all/modules (doesn't need enabling):
https://www.drupal.org/project/slick_views
https://www.drupal.org/project/slick_extras (contains slick_example)

Cleared caches. Fixed. Non-dev version, library 1.5.9, D7

Funny thing is that I got this error on a fresh Drupal 7.50 install. It means those two errors getting called out from within the https://www.drupal.org/project/slick module, even thought the slick_views and slick_extras are not listed as requirements or dependencies.

Edit: the recommended module https://www.drupal.org/project/missing_module has nothing to do with it, drush bounce back 'no missing modules', which means its false alarm. Some bug, that's all.

Thanks @vibrasphere ! :)

That's solved :)

Slick module is looking for a module named slick_example which is a part of https://www.drupal.org/project/slick_extras. Once you install this module and clear your cache the error will disappear. The same goes for slick_views module as well.

I have traced problem to this function

function slick_ui_help($path, $arg)
LINE 101/102
$slick_views   = url(drupal_get_path('module', 'slick_views') . '/README.txt');
$slick_example = url(drupal_get_path('module', 'slick_example') . '/README.txt');

#34 did the trick for me. In my case i only needed to install the Slick Extras module.

#34 worked for me as well.

#34 and #36 both worked for me so I was able to solve this 2 ways. I ran drush dis slick_ui && drush pm-uninstall slick_ui and with slick and slick_views still enabled the message went away and the slideshow I had already created still worked, or leave slick_ui enabled and upload the slick_extras module (it doesn't need to be enabled). I've already created my slides so I don't really need slick_ui so I'll leave it disabled and uninstalled and get rid of Slick Extra since I don't need it. If I need the UI again, I can just enable it again.
