I have used Anything Slider on other websites and it worked fine. However I am adding it to an existing site I did not build. There are a bunch of plugins already installed. The slides are just stacking on the page instead of sliding. I tried deactivating all plugins and I also tried this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3800039/need-help-resolving-a-javascript-conflict-using-jquery-anything-slider
and this: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-anythingslider-for-wordpress-nothing-but-trouble-so-far
But they still stack. The site is: http://playgolfarizona.com/.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You loaded more than one JQuery:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script&gt;
<script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Use only the most recent one.

dj_hiking

Thank you for your response. However, I took out one, then the other, then both. It still is stacking the slides. Any other ideas? Sorry I really don't know much about JQuery.

Mottie

I think because you also have Scriptaculous, you'll need to add the following immediately after jQuery is loaded:

<script>
jQuery.noConflict();
</script>

dj_hiking

I added it right after the first script but Dreamweaver showed a PHP Scripting error if I so I added it like below and now I have the 2 of each slides loading on top of each other. I am not sure what scriptaculous even does so should I just remove it?

/js/jquery.quovolver.js">
jQuery.noConflict();
/js/swfobject.js">

dj_hiking

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script&gt;
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/jquery.quovolver.js"></script>
<script>jQuery.noConflict();</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/swfobject.js"></script>

Mottie

I can't tell what it does either, but since we added the noConflict, this code needs to change... change the "$" into "jQuery" to fix that one error.

$(document).ready(function() {
	$('#featured .scroll').quovolver(1, 10000);
});

change to:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
	jQuery('#featured .scroll').quovolver(1, 10000);
});

So now it looks like AnythingSlider should be running, but it could just be the above error preventing further down code from running, so we'll just need to see if the above change fixes everything or what the next step needs to be.

dj_hiking

Slides are back to stacking. I turned off all plugins and uninstalled/reinstalled Anything Slider and same thing. Below is the Javascript

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script&gt;
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/jquery.quovolver.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery.noConflict();
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
	jQuery('#featured .scroll').quovolver(1, 10000);
});

function changeIntro(type)
{
	var obj = document.getElementById('video');
	obj.style.display = type;
}

function changeSocial(loc, file)
{
	loc.src = '<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/social/' + file + '.png';
}

var a2a_config = a2a_config || {};
a2a_config.linkname = "Sun Devil Club";
a2a_config.linkurl = "http://www.sundevilclub.com";
</script>

Mottie

The noConflict code still needs to be the next line after the jquery script. As it is now, the quovolver script won't exist when it's run because it is loaded before the noConflict.

dj_hiking

I was able to eliminate the PHP Syntax error by dropping the closing script tag. Slider is still stacking. I really appreciate all your help.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script&gt;
<script>jQuery.noConflict();
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/jquery.quovolver.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
	jQuery('#featured .scroll').quovolver(1, 10000);
});

Mottie

That closing script tag needs to be there, now I'm getting another error: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <"

dj_hiking

Since this is just a test site. If you know what script is conflicting. I will just strip it out. I am just trying to update the site until the client has me do a complete rebuild. Thank you.

Mottie

Ok I got it working... I commented out this line... I'm not sure what this plugin does, but it's causing an error.

//jQuery('#featured .scroll').quovolver(1, 10000);

Then I noticed that the AnythingSlider.css file was missing, so I added it and then I had to set the slider dimensions to 600x400 because it's set to 570x190 for some reason

#slider-210 { width: 600px; height: 400px; }

The default stylesheet I used really messed up the slider because of the external arrows - it was shifted to the right, but it was working. So, I'm just guessing you already have an AnythingSlider theme ready, it just that the link to it isn't there.

dj_hiking

Still not working for me. Here is the code. I probably missed something. Slides are duplicated and stacking.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script&gt;
<script>jQuery.noConflict();</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/jquery.quovolver.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
});
function changeIntro(type)
{
	var obj = document.getElementById('video');
	obj.style.display = type;
}

function changeSocial(loc, file)
{
	loc.src = '<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/social/' + file + '.png';
}

var a2a_config = a2a_config || {};
a2a_config.linkname = "Sun Devil Club";
a2a_config.linkurl = "http://www.sundevilclub.com";
</script>

dj_hiking

ok. I forgot that I uninstalled and reinstalled anything slider. so all the settings were back to default. I set them to what I wanted and the slides are now rotating, but well below the window. probably need to work on css style now. thanks for all your help. have a great weekend.

dj_hiking

getting closer. however the slides load down the page. instead of the same window.

Mottie

I still don't see an anytingslider.css file. Also setting the slideshow with "playRtl" set to true, does more than just switch the slideshow direction - it messes around with the page rtl (right-to-left) settings for languages that are read from right-to-left. So, you should set that to false.

dj_hiking

here is my css. it is in the style.css file...

#slide2 {
	float:left;
	z-index: 99;
	margin-left: -18px;
}
#homeslider {
	margin: 20px;
	border: 8px solid #FFF;
	position: absolute;
	height: 400px;
	width: 600px;
	background-color: #CCC;
	box-shadow: 0 0 3px #888888;
}
#slidershadow {
	height: 455px;
	width: 655px;
	background-image: url(images/featured-curved-shadow.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: center bottom;
	position: absolute;
}

dj_hiking

I also changed the setting to false on right to left.

I added the above css to the style.css - previously I was just adding it to the anythingslider.css, because adding it to style.css didn't make any changes. It is now working... However, when I go into the Anything Slider plugin settings and make any changes the slider stops working. I can get it to work again by deactivation the plugin and reactivating it. but I can't style, add/subtract nav, etc. or it breaks. I tried installing another slider (easing slider) as a test and it also did not work correctly. There appears to be some offending code somewhere on the back end that conflicts with the jquery code.

dj_hiking

It is working. I just need to make all the style settings in the php instead of the Anything Slider plugin settings. Thanks for all your help Mottie. Hopefully the client will just let us rebuild the site from scratch soon so we don't have to deal with all the leftover code that obviously is the problem. Thanks again.

Hello,
I'm having a similar problem. I'm trying to use Dreamweaver CS5 to create & edit a Wordpress site. I have WAMP installed on my computer. The homepage slider is stacking the photos instead of sliding them. I've tried 3 different Wordpress themes but I get the stacking problem which ever theme I use. The strange thing is, when I preview the site in Dreamweaver using "live view" (WebKit browser) it displays properly. But with every other browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera) I get the stacking problem. Sorry I can't give a link to the site but it's not online at this point. I'm working with a fresh install of Wordpress with no plugins. I'm pretty much a novice with all this stuff. Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
Below is a copy of my featured.php file:

This is what I get in the Firefox error console:

and a bunch more "jQuery is not defined"

Mottie

HI daithi!

I'll need to see the javascript contained in the head section of your page to be 100% sure, but it sounds like you're just missing a bracket. Make sure the opening and closing brackets match up. So when you initialize the slider, it should be wrapped and the options should have matching brackets like this:

// document ready - opening ( and {
$(function(){
  $('#slider').anythingSlider({ // initialization options - opening ( and {
    // bunch o' options here
  }); // slider options - closing } and ) - the order is reversed here
}); // document ready - closing } and } - reversed order (curly bracket then parenthesis)

If that doesn't solve the "jQuery is not defined" issue then you might be using another library like Prototype? If that is the case, then make sure you include jQuery no conflict mode:

<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>jQuery.noConflict();</script>
<script src="prototype.js"></script>

But now instead of using "$" in the code above, use "jQuery" in it's place.

Mottie: I'm wondering if you could look at my similar issue (slides stacking not sliding). Background: On our old server (media temple dv 3.5) it is working great: http://205.186.143.51/slideshows/branding.php

On the new server I get the stacking issue: http://64.207.157.17/slideshows/branding.php

Both are LAMP setups. I'm at a loss re. why anythingslider w/out any code changes works at one and not the other.

Mottie

Hi @silverliebt!

The anythingslider.js file is missing:

http://64.207.157.17/js/anythingslider/js/jquery.anythingslider.js 404 (Not Found)

Everything else looks okay :)

Thanks Mottie, that did the trick. Really appreciate the help.

Hello all, I'm using slides on my site that works in firefox. I'm having trouble running the slideshow in Chrome browser and couldn't hide play buttons. . The site URL is

https://docs.google.com/document/d/15U4nfriIwJfAOssDKETKukDMiHsBIvNvxsBxwoQdP1Q/edit

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mottie

Hi @ddshiva. The google docs you shared only contains css. Could you share a live demo or more of your code?

And actually, this thread is more in reference of the AnythingSlider plugin, so starting a new thread would probably get more people to look at it and try to help.

Slides not sliding, just stacking.
