When i use the module the content of every slide get's turned into a link.
I've tried it in a few different themes but it still that way.
i've also tried a few other slideshow modules and they didn't seem to have this problem
Is there someway of avoiding this.
I would just prefer the title and the read me to be linked to the node...

Hi zaheeren,

Of course, make sure the view is backed up before tinkering. You might want to export it. Always good to back up the whole database as well...

For troubleshooting/diagnosing, I'd go into the view settings, under "Basic settings --> Style" click on the gear symbol next to "slideshow" and then in there, change the slideshow mode from "menu" to "singleframe". Check on the view. If the problem persists, it doesn't have anything to do with views_slideshow_menu.

To me it sounds like it may be one of the following, which have nothing to do with views_slideshow_menu: Are you using the setting in views when you set up the field for the slideshow: "rewrite the output of this field" or "rewrite the output as a link"? You could have made mistakes there in filling in those fields that would lead to the behavior you describe. Make sure any html tags you've put in there are closed.

Another possibility is that if you are using a views template suggestion or possibly even a node.tpl.php override, you may have a bug in your code there.

But please do report back,

Best,

Shai Gluskin

I'm having the same problem.

Switching back to Singleframe solves the problem.

I don't use any rewrite functions in the fields.

I checked this with Firefox page source, no <a href> for the actual item, only for the menu. But with Firebug I see an extra <a href> link in the html text of the node - probably inserted by the module .js:

<div class="views_slideshow_menu_slide views_slideshow_slide views_slideshow_menu_hidden views-row-even" id="views_slideshow_menu_div_1_1" style="position: absolute; top: 0pt; left: 0pt; z-index: 2; opacity: 0; display: none; width: 700px; height: 162px;">
    
  <a href="/ajanlat/magasitas">
  <div class="views-field-title">
                <span class="field-content">Magasítás</span>
  </div><div class="views-field-field-picture-fid">
                <span class="field-content"></span>
  </div><div class="views-field-field-pictures-fid">
                <div class="field-content"></div>
  </div><div class="views-field-teaser">
                <div class="field-content"><p>A <strong>NIVA</strong> tulajdonosoknak sokszor okoz gondot a gépkocsijuk <strong>magassága</strong>!</p>
<p>A karosszériát meg tudjuk emelni stabil megoldással!</p>

  </div></a>

Sure enough I wrap the slide in a link. Not sure why I did this other than it let's you match the url of the menu with the associated slide. Probably should make this a setting.

How could I disable this (willing to modify the code)?

Try this patch. It's not tested so you'll have to make sure it works. It adds a setting to wrap the slide with associated menu url.
