Slideshow manager no longer working :(

Hello community!

I hope I chose the right forum.

the slideshow manager does no longer display any images on my website. I think I didn't do any changes, (well, I know, I must have changed something...)

what I tried already:

1. Create a new album and use instead
2. re-install
3. load page without CSS
4. load page with basic template, only slider and needed HTML
5. load page without HTACCESS
6. empty cache etc.
7. deactivate all other plugins (articles still running)

when checking the source code:

<div id="slider" class="nivoSlider">
  
            <img src="/assets/components/slideshowmanager/uploads/album_2_slide_1350018606.jpg" alt="fsafsfsa" title="fsafsfsa fsafsafsa" />
</div>

Any ideas are welcome!!!!! Thanks a lot.

... I think it first happened after installing Babel and / or 2 contexts.
I removed the second context again and so did I with Babel.... no changes sad

No experience with Slideshow manager myself, but from what you posted as the source code, it looks like images are still being loaded and outputted to source, right? If so, that might be an indication that your frontend is messed up. Perhaps a javascript or css file is missing which is causing the images to be hidden from view (but still present)...

They seem to be loaded but are not displayed on the page.

I thought the same, it must be some script that makes problems but I it's still not working on an empty page without any other content/script/css:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>[[*pagetitle]] - [[++site_name]]</title>
<link href="https://plus.google.com/105859251108914540721" rel="publisher" />
<base href="[[++site_url]]" />
</head>

<body>

   
<div id="slider-wrapper"> 
  [[!jgSlideShow?
  &album_id=`2`
  ]]</div>
     <p>[[*content]]</p>
</body>
</html>

...just puts out an empty white page so I guess it must be problem in the system/database/whatever?

ok, I found the error:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://xxxxxx.comassets/components/slideshowmanager/nivo-slider/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js"></script>

the slash between the doman and /assets is missing.
Where can I change this setting global?
Or do I only have to change it in the slideshow manager part because everything else seems to work correct?

Thanks for all who can help

Try adding

<base href="[[++site_url]]" />

to the nivo_headTpl, and maybe even call it uncached

<base href="[[!++site_url]]" />

thank you for help

Unfortunately I don't know where to add this global because now I found out EasyBreadcrumbs is having the same problem

It should go in the head portion of your HTML template, preferably immediately following the "title" tags, before any link or script URLs.

It's in the head, if the above post #4 is the template. But the nivo_headTpl is I see now just a css and js loader, so it would load it twice if it was added.

Maybe change it to uncached in the template?

<base href="[[!++site_url]]" />

You might also want to check the files shown about mid-way down in the moving your site documentation. http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Moving+Your+Site+to+a+New+Server

It's possible that something in there isn't correct. You're getting the site_url ok, and you're getting the parts after assets ok, but missing the prefix to the assets path which is the /.

I'm thinking in particular, these settings:

$modx_connectors_url, $modx_manager_url, and $modx_base_url
