Slideshows Disappears when I log out
Permalink 1 user found helpful
When I create a slide show using virtually any slideshow available including the one that comes from Concrete5, the slide show disappears when I log out as admin.
You do "publish" the pages, and not merely "preview" them?
Thanks for responding jero.
Yes even after I publish the page with the slide show on it, the slide show disappears when I log out as admin.

I do get a warnings for pages that state that:
tinyMCE is not defined
tinyMCE.init({
I have read that I may need to reinstall tinyMCE, but that it would be difficult and possibly dangerous.
I have also read that multiple javascript calls on the page could be the problem. I am using a sooperfish drop-down menu with javascript in this site. When I delete the menu from the page and log out, the slideshow still disappears.

Check the permissions for the slideshow block to allow "guest" to view the block
I can see where to set permissions for the page, but not for the individual slideshow block. Where would I find those permissions?
Thank you!
Thank you!
In edit mode click the slideshow block, set permissions should be at the bottom of the dialogue box..
When I click on the Slide Show Block in Edit mode, I get the following options (see attached screen capture)
Thank You!

Most likely you have a conflicting addon, or there is some javascript in your theme.
I would suggest using one of the standard themes, and remove any blocks in the page until you have just the slideshow left. Alternatively, create a new page with just the slideshow in it, and use a custom theme for that page.
I often find that using Firefox and Firebug addon helps detect all sorts of naughtiness with Javascript and also 404 errors on js/css files that you might otherwise not see.

I do use firebug and the only error I find is:
tinyMCE is not defined
[Break On This Error]
tinyMCE.init({
I uninstalled all add-ons and still no luck. The only other thing I have going on is Sooperfish for my drop down menu. I got rid of those files and it didn't seem to help.
I will also clean up my html.

It seems a bit odd that tinyMCE is showing up when you're looking at the page when you're logged out. It makes me think that there's something a bit odd going on in your theme. Do you have a custom or hand build theme or is it one of the standard ones that comes with C5 or did you install it from the marketplace?
I did hand build the theme myself because of strict design considerations.
I followed the instructions on the Concrete5 site and also got information from Remo Laubacher's "Concrete5 Beginners Guide". I would like to add that I am not having any other problems other than this slideshow issue.
I will go through the site again and see if there is anything that I have missed.

It's always worth having another pair of eyes recheck you code, especially when you're convinced there's "no way it can be wrong" - been there many times.
Did you include any javascript in your theme? Does your code validate OK? (Tryhttp://validator.w3.org/). If you;r comfortable doing so, why not zip your theme files up and post them here, or PM me and attach them and I'll take a look.

Hi Jero,
If you could at what I've done that would be great. I have attached the files for my theme plus the sooperfish files.

What are you trying to achieve with
?
This sort of thing is usually loaded when required, not hard coded into the template. Try removing it from your default.php.
Your elements/header.php needs Loader::element('header_required'); immediately after the <head> tag. This means that essential JS and CSS are loaded first.
Your elements/footer.php also has a rather odd reference to footer_required - you might try
instead of the require() function.
<?php Loader::element('editor_config'); ?>

Thanks Jero,
That did the trick! I had cobbled together code from a variety of sources. As they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!
Best,

No problem - glad you got it sorted.
I am having the same problem, but it is not theme related. I think it has to do with me upgrading my install. I did the appropriate increments to get from 5.4.x to 5.6.0.2. Before updating all of my slideshows worked fine. Now they all appear to (even new ones I make, or old ones from before) until I signout completely. Then they are missing. Previewing my changes while still logged in properly shows the slideshow. The site ishttp://muhlenberg.kyschools.us/les...
Any help is appreciated.

Same for me (except I started with a clean 5.6.0.2 install). I'm still looking into it, but if I should find the solution I will post it here.
**edit**
So after a bit of trying diffirent things I "solved" (hence the double quotes) the issue. I created a new 5.6.0.2 website but on installation instead of choosing 'empty', I choose 'blog prefill' or whatever it is called to install a site with some data in it. That solved the problem for me.
So I think it might have something to do with the diffirence between installing 'clean' and installing 'testdata'.
