Comment #1
aaron commentedNo idea. I have no problem using the module out of the box.
Try the latest dev version (or BETA if it's been released) -- it has reasonable defaults in place to make it work a little easier.
Comment #2
ncazanav commentedI have exactly in the same problem, images not showing or showing only "dead images". But i can add some information : it depends on the browser used and if the web site is local or hosted.
A strange phenomenom : when testing imageflow on local, the module runs fine on Firefow v2 & v3, google Chrome, IE (6&7) and Opera. I use Wampserver to test my site on local.
When hosted, things are very different : imageflow seems to only work with FireFox 3. All others browsers tested have a problem. It seems to me that there are different problems, but i am not very sure about that.
* When using IE, the page keeps showing the message "Loading images 0/x" but never loads them
* when using Firefox v2, opera or Chrome, the browser usually shows the scrolling bar (which is fucntionnaly), but one can't see the images, only ALT textes and sometimes only "dead" pictures.
You can test this at the following address : http://www.nicolas-architectures.com/node/12. The page is shown correctly (except that my site is beeing constructed) with Firefox v3, but not with the others browsers....
Hope some of you would have an idea what can go wrong
P.S : I forgot to add that i've hack the module with the snippet available here http://drupal.org/node/444284 to add Lightbox integration

ncazanav commentedSome new info : I have just remembered that in my view generating the image flow, the field was the entiere image with a dummy imagecache preset (whiwh was a preset called "do nothing", i.e. scale the image to 100%)
I did this because i was afraid of loosing quality when showing the image. But it was nosense, I am putting a preset to scale down my images to heigh=200px , it should help when loading the images.
It seems to work now in Opera, but still the same issue on Firefox v2 and IE6&7....
------------
July 7th, 2009 : I've reinstalled my web site from scratch and everything seems to work now. I think i did something wrong with imagecache, but I am not able to say what. At least, it works!

kevster commentedI have the same problem - working fine in firefox 3 but not in IE 6 or 7 - just blinks up loading then disappears... I had lightbox installed as well but have switched this off for now...
Update - I upgraded to latest beta version 6.x-1.0-beta1 but still have the same problem...

Comment #6
doven1 commentedI am having similar trouble, only I get nothing whatsoever. Installed according to instructions, established appropriate view and confirmed the slideshow was functioning but whenever I set the effect to imageflow the view disappears entirely. No frame, no pictures, nothing at all. I played with the configuration and continued to get nothing until I logged out and back in. Now I can see the images, but there is no effect or animation or slide or fisheye effect or anything.
I also receive and error from the image module. I am trying to reproduce the error but it seems to have resolved itself(?)... None the less, it was an illegal offset error. Not sure if that helps at all. Thanks for all of your attention. I will be very happy with the module when I can get it working.
*update*
The module is not finding the javascript plugin. Upon visiting the administration page for the module, I continue to receive the error/warning that I must download the plugin and extract it to the specified folder. I re-downloaded it, re-installed it, disabled and re-enabled the module and continue to receive the error.
Still not seeing any images flowing.
*update*
I resolved my issues so I am going to post my mistakes up here so that it will hopefully help someone else out.
Ultimately, mine was not working due to my impatience. I did not notice until I stopped and at the screen for a few minutes but the module is looking for the plugin at sites/all/plugins/imageflow and not in the modules folder where I had put it. Moving the plugin to a plugins folder resolved my issue immediately and the module is now functioning flawlessly. Hopefully this helps someone else.

BrianLewisDesign commentedCheck: Administer » User management » Permissions
And make sure users can access the images it's trying to load.
I had a problem where I could only see them as an admin, until I did this.
Comment #8
vinnydog commentedI am also having the original issue where the imageflow gallery loads but is full of missing images. I can't see them logged in as admin either, and they work fine on my local. My remote host (Media Temple gs) has a different version of PHP and MySQL, thinking of trying to match them on my local and see if it helps. Has anyone worked out a solution yet?
Comment #9
vinnydog commentedI also noted when opening one of the missing images in a new tab, reflect.php can't find the image. Remove reflect.php from the URL and the source image is intact. There could be an issue there, but I can't find it. Any ideas?
Comment #10
socialnicheguru commentedThis was written on the imageflow page,https://drupal.org/project/imageflow:
Important notes regarding Drupal version 7.20 and above
Image security tokens were incompatible with the reflect script packaged in the imageflow library. To create a reflection effect install the imagecache_reflect module located here preferably before updating to the latest dev.
