Vertical display

Same here. I'm no rookie to Drupal. I'd really like to use the module, but I've been messing with this for a few days now. I can't even get the carousel to show up. Just vertical thumbs. This is very disappointing. I keep removing and adding the module, blocks, fields, jcarousel plugin, removing and recreating content because I think I'm doing something wrong. The documentation is absolutely atrocious. How many bad versions and misleading threads must we read?
Did a developer write this module?
Can he tell us what the #$%^ is happening here?
Come on PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Believe me, views slideshow is just far to hard to configure to use in a slideshow carousel, views slideshow carousel isn't any better, slider and easy glider wouldn't do exactly what I wanted.
This one appears to do it.
Is the photo of the module in action real? Does it really use skins and show's buttons and as many thumbs as you configure in .css. I don't believe it.
If I had the answers I'd share.
I may scrap this easy approach and just use jCarousel which I here is a nightmare to configure in Drupal. Again, the documentation just isn't there.
And if people are getting ashamed to post in here, what does that tell me about what this community has become.
Anyway for those that are helpful and who have helped me in the past, thanks.

I'm going to be posting this on several different issues listed here, as the "vertical display" problem seems to be a common thing just now, so apologies for the cut and paste. Basically, the block needs updating. The jCarousel code that it depends on has changed since the block was written, and now some of the filepaths are different.

As a result, out of the box, this block WILL NOT WORK with the jCarousel code downloaded from http://sorgalla.com/jcarousel/ as in the instructions. The JS isn't included properly on the page, so the layout is completely broken.

However, it's really easy to fix. Open up /modules/jcarousel_block/jcarousel_block_block.tpl.php in your favourite text editor, and look at the top, lines 2-4.

Change line 2 from:

drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'jcarousel_block') . '/jcarousel/lib/jquery.jcarousel.pack.js');

To:

drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'jcarousel_block') . '/jcarousel/lib/jquery.jcarousel.min.js');

And then change line 3 from:

drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'jcarousel_block') . '/jcarousel/lib/jquery.jcarousel.css');

To:

//drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'jcarousel_block') . '/jcarousel/lib/jquery.jcarousel.css');

(This file no longer exists.)

Give your page a refresh and, with any luck, the carousel will snarl into life. Job done! Hopefully the module developer will take this onboard and release a patch.
