Piecemaker Flash no images showing

You should check the XML file that is being called and the paths to the images that that file is using. The xml path for a piecemkaer block is piecemaker/piecemaker_blocks/{block_delta}/settings.xml

with {block_delta} being the block ID found in the URL of the block edit page.

It should all work with multisite though as it doesn't hard code a url but rather uses drupal's image_style_url() function to generate the file location. In fact I have it working on a multisite installation on http://newhallweb.com. Could it be the settings you are using for the images? Did you set up a Image style for the block? I realize that is not in the Documentation for the Blocks module, but for images they are set up to use Core's Image styles (formerly Imagecache).

I have the same problem. Everything but the images loads. Settings xml and file path loads ok.
I also getting error when trying to edit block: Deprecated function: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in menu_execute_active_handler() (line 501 of C:\WWW\htdocs\drupal\D7\includes\menu.inc).

Why after creating a piecemaker block nothing happens? I have no file called settings.xml in piecemaker/piecemaker_blocks/{block_delta}. This folder structure dosen't exists too.
When I self create this file in this location for first piecemaker block still can't seen images :(

Because that file is a dynamic file. It's created on the fly by Drupal and isn't stored in a static location. Thats how drupal works, using hook_menu to dynamically load paths.

I really need more info ion this guys. Please read though the following http://drupal.org/node/73179 and try to provide more information. I would like to help to make sure that this issue isn't affecting a lot of people but without some more detailed bug reprots there is nothing I can do.

Drupal 7.7
Web Serwer: Apache/2.2.17 (Win32)
PHP: 5.3.4

When I try use stable version (7.x-1.0) and when everything is defined (I mean Piecemaker API Profiles, settings and block) firebug showing this exception: "NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://site.local/piecemaker/piecemaker_blocks/1/settings.xml".

However, after install dev version (7.x-1.x-dev) - above exception dissapear, but Piecemaker still shows nothing (flash file is loaded and both dimension is set).

Same problem for me: I installed the last drupal and piecemaker, but I got no image loading.

Same issue here.

(I have other problems with adding pictures:

- At the "select media" window, there is no submit button, when I try to add the second picture, but I see the part of admin toolbar at top of window, instead.
- Using "add file" button occasionally causes AJAX http error for me. (http result code: 500, internal server error)
- Is there an easy way to permanently delete an existing piecemaker block?
- Maybe it has no importance, but I noticed that at the flash parameters it is "allownetowrking" by default instead of "allownetworking".)

Thanks for your work and sorry for not proper reporting / dumb questions: I'm a newbie.

UPDATE: Now I made several piecemaker blocks. The first one that I made, has disappeared somehow (the whole flash block does not apear) but the other ones working fine. The solution was, that I had to SET AT LEAST ONE TRANSITION in my piecemaker profile. (Not the default easeNone)

I still have the problems that I wrote above, but now the main issue (blank piecemaker block) is solved for me, hope it helps for someone else too. Thanx for this module again!

The solution was, that I had to SET AT LEAST ONE TRANSITION in my piecemaker profile. (Not the default easeNone)

I confirm: it worked for me :)

I have on my side no problems to change the media and the parameters (even I still haven't found how to delete an existing piecemaker block).

Very nice and funny module, thanks to all it and the support !

(PS: just a thing: when changing the EASENONE, go on the very right on the page to click ADD unless it won't work when saving. The parameters line is just much longer than the screen, at least was it for me ;)

I'll be sure to add this step to the documentation or better yet one of you jump over and go for it. That's the Drupal way! :)

As far as the deletion of a block, that was an overlooked aspect when I developed this module. If you have access to your DB then simply delete the block out of the blocks & piecemaker_blocks tables. I'll add the delete functionality to the module for it's next release.

For the deleting blocks issue please look at #1254574: Can't delete Piecemaker Blocks

Deprecated function: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in menu_execute_active_handler() (line 501 of C:\wamp\www\webdokta\includes\menu.inc).

When adding a file I get this:

AJAX HTTP was a mistake.
HTTP Result Code: 200
Below is the debug information.
Path: / Bio / system / ajax
StatusText: ParserError
ResponseText:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function piecemaker_blocks_add_file_validate () in C: \ xampp \ htdocs \ Bio \ includes \ form.inc on line 1414

I hope you help me please, thanks.

Someone would create a video tutorial of how to install piecemaker on drupal?

subscribing

I have a problem i did all stands before but i got nothing except the name of my block no image nothing at all i pls help as soon as
thanks

I am the same, and i have fixed already. Maybe you did not create a "effect" in "transitions"
admin/config/media/piecemaker/profiles/1/edit
Please try again.
Very nice!

I have more than 6 hours trying to be able to see the block working, but nothing... i dont see anything..

The flash object is created but its empty...

mmm.. my piecemaker module is not creating the xml file.. i go to "localhost/piecemaker/piecemaker_blocks/1/settings.xml" and the file dont exists..

PD: in the demo Page (http://www.newhallweb.com) you go to "http://www.newhallweb.com/piecemaker/piecemaker_blocks/1/settings.xml" and the xml file exists. This must be the problem.

can anyone help me?

I receive a flash error :
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://localhost/sitename/piecemaker/piecemaker_blocks/1/settings.xml
at com.modularweb.galleries::Piecemaker()
at Piecemaker()
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()
at flash.display::MovieClip()
at piecemaker_fla::MainTimeline()

Any id what the solution is for this problem? I guess piecemakers doesn't make settings.xml. I even dont find the map '1' in piecemaker_blocks.
What am i doing wrong?
thanks

Thanks a lot off for your help

I cant see anything working here too...
I have the file xml working,
I have piecemaker.css and piecemaker.swf in /sites/all/libraries/piecemaker/
I have swfobject.js and expressinstall.swf in /sites/all/libraries/piecemaker/swfobject/
Ive changed effect to the last one on my piecemaker profile, using now easeOutInBounce effect,

I dont know what more I have to do to make this awesome module works :(

im using default bartik theme just for test,

I still seen the pieceblock name and "You do not have flash enabled" on my website test.

Thanks.

hello

Hi to all :)

Can any one help me to use this slider to show the image from database .. I wanna the xml file take the image source from a database using php code !!

hi!
if any one have this problem try to check where u are instaling yours modules like: media, piecemaker, and file_entity.

try to install them into: sites/all/modules/
libraries instal into: sites/all/libraries/

ofc do all stuff with transitions to.

#22

Do you use images store in the public system folder ? I use Media + Private folder and had to move files from private to public to get them show up.

My settings are as follow
-flash size: 960x350
-image size: 960x320 (=> reflect custom image style, media provde dropdown selection with image format when creating slides)

Tooltips and text are not working for me. I tried many different settings for color, positions....nothing. Additionally, it seems that using text format other than plain prevent from saving the slide properly.

Added resolution info.
