Images Are Stacking for Some Users After Refreshing Page

[sheldonkreger]

Instead of displaying one image at a time and scrolling through them, images are stacking on top of each other. This only happens after loading the page, then refreshing it - and only if the user is logged in. It only seems to happen for some roles.

The easy solution was to disable block caching in admin/config/performance. I'm curious to hear if anybody else has had this problem with os_slideshow.

Well, I think stacking on top of each other is how it's supposed to work... only on the z-axis :)

When this happens it indicates the slideshow JavaScript isn't running, which usually indicates a fairly serious JavaScript error occurred (check your JavaScript console in your browser) or the JavaScript wasn't loaded on the page.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but os_slideshow is quite deprecated at this point....

Yeah, at this point, we probably ought to rebuild it. We also ought to rebuild things like os_blog and other useful/commonly used website parts…. assuming that we think they're still useful.

I think one of the problems I've experienced in the past with things like this is getting them to be abstract enough to be useful, but not so abstract that you're left doing nearly all the same config you'd do by just building things fresh from the modules. And that's a delicate balance/really difficult with module updates, etc.

We did rebuild it -- into BeanSlide. But we don't have an upgrade path.
