Slideshow not working

tomordoyno / 2013-01-09 20:00:20   

Hi,

I've enabled slideshow and set it up on my homepage (tomordoyno.com) but when clicking on Next/Previous nothing seems to happen.

Any help appreciated!

This:

  1. <h1><FONT FACE="Helvetica" SIZE="1"><a href='/' title='TOM ORDOYNO'>TOM ORDOYNO</a></h1>

is maybe "breaking" your page.
Font face is obsolete - use css instead.
Find the h1 tag in your style.css and use attributes to make it to what you're after.
For example:

  1. <h1><a href='/' title='TOM ORDOYNO'>TOM ORDOYNO</a></h1>

and in your style.css

  1. h1 {
  2.     font-size: 11px;
  3.     font-weight: bold;
  4.     margin-bottom: 1em;
  5. }

I've tried but the only thing thats changed is the font size - slideshow still not working!

arsondpi / 2013-01-09 22:17:25   

ok - did you upload all the files in the right places? Try doing this again - sometimes ftp cuts off.

tomordoyno / 2013-01-09 22:30:48   

not sure what you mean, but i'll try making a new page

tomordoyno / 2013-01-09 22:34:22   

yeah i've tried that still not working, is there any way to embed a slideshow in html looks like slideshow add on doesn't work for me

tomordoyno / 2013-01-09 23:08:03   

is there anything else which could be causing this dormant slideshow? has anyone else had similar problems?

Vaska A / 2013-01-10 00:49:02   

Yes, there is - I've made note of this a few times around here but it is obscure and I don't think people could find it simply by searching.

I can see that the ajax helper script is not returning any results. It's either one of two things...

1. Make sure your /ndxzsite/plugin/ajax.php file has permissions of 644.
2. Your host has mod_security rules that are affecting it from working properly. Ask them if they are catching anything in the logs and have them adjust accordingly (this is unfortunately more common than one would think).

Keep us posted...

tomordoyno / 2013-01-10 01:03:37   

i've just changed the permissions to 644 on the files you suggested and my site has completely vanished leaving warning messages behind:
tomordoyno.com/

tomordoyno / 2013-01-10 01:05:48   

sorry just corrected that applied it to wrong file, still no change will contact web admin

tomordoyno / 2013-01-10 13:01:12   

I have checked with the host but they could not see any issue related to the mod_security rules.

this is the transcript of the query:

Dear Thomas,

Thank you for contacting 123-reg on the 10th January 2013.

We have checked the error logs but we could not see any issue related to the mod_security rules. If you need more details, please see the error logs from today:

any ideas what could be preventing my slideshow from working?

tomordoyno / 2013-01-10 22:48:38   

hi vaska
i tried both the things you recommended unfortunately neither are working - i've posted a transcript from my contact with 123 reg above. would you have any advice?

dotyp / 2013-03-03 00:27:50   

tomordoyno, did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem.

gouvrit / 2013-03-25 01:07:25   

(sorry, I don't know how to quote here, and Vaska told him not to start a new topic:)
from indexhibit.org/forum/thread/18533/:

How did you fix it?

gouvrit / 2013-03-25 01:20:52   

I have 2 images here, slideshow is not working
gouvrit.org/index.php/work/mexican-market/
please help

First answer will be: check if files are in the right place and with right permissions.
Just to make sure, this would be 644 for plugin/ajax.php & for
- /ndxzsite/js/jquery.slideshow.js
- /ndxzsite/css/slideshow.css
- /ndxzsite/plugin/format.slideshow.php & plugin.jxs_slideshow
If this is it, yes. They are.

what about images? They upload direclty in exhibit, right? they are not uploaded into a jpg folder through FTP. Do permissions remain as by default?

thanks for any help

I used Firebug to check your page. The Net tab returns an Ajax error:

POST ajax.php
    
500 Internal Server Error
    
gouvrit.org

I would check the rest from Vaska's post: indexhibit.org/forum/thread/17996/

gouvrit / 2013-03-25 22:58:34   

Ok, thanks. so I am sending an email to my provider (greengeeks).
From Vaska's post you mention (below), I understand it is common, but I don't understand what am I suppose to try to find when they send me a long query list like the one posted above?

Vaska:
>2. Your host has mod_security rules that are affecting it from working properly. Ask >them if they are catching anything in the logs and have them adjust accordingly >(this is unfortunately more common than one would think).

gouvrit / 2013-03-26 22:49:21   

or what should I ask them to adjust?

Vaska A / 2013-03-26 22:55:30   

Did you try fixing permissions?

gouvrit / 2013-03-27 00:15:47   

644 for plugin/ajax.php & for
- /ndxzsite/js/jquery.slideshow.js
- /ndxzsite/css/slideshow.css
- /ndxzsite/plugin/format.slideshow.php & plugin.jxs_slideshow

Vaska A / 2013-03-27 00:18:41   

Send me an email with your FTP info and I'll take a look tomorrow.

gouvrit / 2013-03-29 02:12:25   

I emailed green geeks copy/pasting Vaska's exact words from this post about mod_security rules, and they fixed something. Now it works.
Below is their answer. They changed /public_html/ndxzsite permissions to 755.
Now, inside that folder, /css, /default, /img. /js & /plugin are 755 [though everything inside is still 644 (including ajax.php) except base.css that is 755]

So yey! I am glad it works, but can someone explain why? I can't interpret those lines. what was wrong with permissions?
It would be good to know what was wrong and what to ask them to fix if it is a known or common issue for next people with same problem

thanks,
and thanks vaska for being willing to take a look at my ftp.

Vaska A / 2013-03-29 02:38:05   

Exactly what I said - permissions problem. You had weird permissions set on the ndxzsite folder.

This thread has been closed, thank you.
