First, let me start by saying I have looked and looked at all the DDBlock issues here and on the web. None of the issues addressed seem to apply to my problem.

I have had this working on a Linux server. I moved my development to a local machine running Mac OS X leopard. All the setup seems to be identical. The module works perfectly on the server and not on my local machine. I have done alot of debugging on my own and have found, hopefully, the precise information necessary to know what is happening.

In the ddblock.module file, 'ddblock_content' function, the $block_content variable comes back empty after the following block:
$block_content = theme(
'ddblock_cycle_block_content',
$settings,
$content
);
both $settings and $content are properly populated prior to this theme call.

My custom/modules/ddblock/ files seem to be properly placed and permissions properly set.

I'm having the same problem with the dev version. The theme function is returning the HTML markup but not the actual slideshow. $content is populated correctly going in so it's finding the images.

@pthornhi:

Can you check file permission for the ddblock theme again.
Can you attach the source code of the page with the ddblock.

Tips for posting issues:
Leave Assigned to unassigned, when you assign an issue to yourself, you say I am solving this myself nobody else needs to do something at the moment.

Putting a support request to Critical will not help getting support quicker, maybe even the opposite. Giving detailed information about your issue will improve getting quick and the right answers.

You can read more in the Issue queue handbook to make your posts in issue queues and your journey with Drupal more fruitful.

@Michelle

Can you create a new issue for the dev version.
Can you attach the source code of the page with the ddblock.
Do you have a link to the Internet site.

Sure... I can make a new issue. Filing duplicate issues is normally frowned on but if that's what you want. :)

@Michelle

It's not a duplicate issue, its another version of the module.
In the dev version new functionality is added, which could lead to other issues.

Well, it's your queue... You can run it how you like. Just a bizarre way of doing it. New issue filed. :)

I am having the same issue as well. I got it working first and enjoyed it for a few days. After installing and configuring lightbox2 I lost my ddblock images. The slide text block and title blocks work fine. I see them cycling through on my web page but no images. Any insights will be lifesaving!
