Ye, I'm reposting in here to. No skins lopading is critical.
I've done everything to get this to work. I've been at it for a few days now. Believe me, I've tried other modules and am very frustrated at this point.

I had the thumbs displaying horizontally and in trying to get the skin to work I really screwed things up. So I removed the module and related setting and database tables, went through the horrible documention just to have it display vertically and again NO BLOODY SKINS. wtf.

How on earth did anyone sucessfully get this to work?

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.

stumpydev,

Did you ever solve this problem ?

I'm using the latest version (6.1.8 from March 2011) but still having this issue.

Hi folks, I deployed the latest version today, by installing the latest versions of core, jcarousel_block and related modules and by following the latest documentation and it worked straight away.
Using the Garland theme and my customized Adaptive theme.

I used the ie skin and played with the css and all is good.
Hope this helps.
