Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
I've seen some similar issues for this with IE but not for Chrome or FF. I have the dev version of Views Slideshow Dynamic Display installed. The examples seem to work just fine. The News Item View also displays the correct fields in preview mode, but when I put the block on a page I just have a white box. Would somebody please point in the right direction as to where I might be going wrong? I've been through a lot of documentation the past few days trying to install this and feel like I'm finally getting close. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

tacoparty CreditAttribution: tacoparty commentedhttp://www.iaap-hq.org:88/drupal/test is the page where I was trying to get it to work. If I can give you any other information, please let me know. I have it setup with the basic templates and settings using the News Item content type.

ppblaauw CreditAttribution: ppblaauw commentedThe slideshow has no content.
Just some suggestions:
Maybe you have the content permissions module (submodule of CCK) enabled and did not give permissions for the fields used.
Maybe the nodes used for the slideshow are not published.
Did you put the block in a region or did you add it in another way?

tacoparty CreditAttribution: tacoparty commentedPermissions are fine, all fields are setup to be viewed by anybody.
Nodes are all published.
I've put the block in a Featured region of my theme (Sea Breeze) and also in the content area, as well as in a panel and get the same result. I've attached a screenshot of the Views configuration. I can see content in the preview there as well.
Thanks so much for your help. I greatly appreciate it.

ppblaauw CreditAttribution: ppblaauw commentedThe view looks Ok.
Don't know why the content of the slideshow is empty.
Did you have other versions of views_slideshow_ddblock modules installed?
Maybe preprocess functions of version 1.1 are remaining in your template.php file.
Sorry for late reply.

PostmanDrupal CreditAttribution: PostmanDrupal commentedI had the same issue, The slideshow has no content. I had the have the content permissions module (submodule of CCK) enabled. The the nodes used for the slideshow are published. Put the block in a region. I've attached a screenshot of the Error I encounter during configuration. Any help would be appreciated.

ppblaauw CreditAttribution: ppblaauw commentedIn the email you send I see that in the view you use, under filters, your Node type: unknown.
You need to select the content type used for the slides.
The slideshow settings are set in the views configuration page, by clicking the "gear" symbol behind: Basic settings > Style:slideshow.
I don't know where your filefield errors come from.
Try to install the filefield module again and if this does not give the solution have a look in the issue queue of the filefield module.
DDblock and views_slideshow_ddblock module are separate modules.
You don't need the ddblock module to use the views_slideshow_ddblock module.
You can use the example module which comes with the views_slideshow_ddblock module (version 2).

royerd CreditAttribution: royerd commentedI think it's easiest to use the example module to get started. This allows you to examine views and see how things are working. I had a white box too at first, but it's because I didn't have jquery installed and then I also copied the "custom" folder improperly into the theme folder.

ZenLax CreditAttribution: ZenLax commentedSimilar/same problem. Nothing displays in the active block (except for the Prev/Next arrow images), but the Views preview shows all images (stacked horizontally.
I've struggled to diagnose/debug for 2 days and am completely stumped. I would buy a premium theme for my client if I you can help me get this to work. Please help!
My configuration:
- also jQuery plugins 6.x-1.10
Permissions
All CCK field and image permissions for access/view are set to anonymous (+admin).
Theme

ppblaauw CreditAttribution: ppblaauw commented#10 do you have a link to the slideshow on your site?

kellyimagined CreditAttribution: kellyimagined commentedAll,
I hope this helps someone, but I have been struggling with this module for sometime and the root cause ended up being the permissions on the files in the folder it self. So the "jquery.cycle" file and any other custom changes.
