Blockslider not working (non-techie)
by Neil Hone - Thursday, 6 March 2014, 2:29 AM
 

Hi,

Has anyone got a working example of a blockslider to share? I've installed the blockslider into my course folder. However, when I create a simple article with a few blocks and components and add the code below after the "body" text, all the other blocks are hidden except for the "initial" block. The remaining blocks are on the page with opacity set to 0. There are no navigation arrows.

,
    "_blockSlider":{
        "_arrows": {
            "_isActive": true
        },
        "_tabs": {
            "_isActive": true,
            "_useBlockTitle": false
        },
        "_initial": 2,
        "_height": 600
    }
 
 
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks in advance
 
Neil

Hi Neil,

There have been several bug fixes added to the framework that will be released in v1.0.1 - one of these fixes addresses the issue you are experiencing with the blockslider component, namely: https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework/issues/191

Once v1.0.1 is released (which won't be too long away), this issue will be resolved.

Have I missed something? I can't find any Blockslider to install...

Is it available on Git?

Hi Martin,

Yes, it is available on Git - it isn't a core contributed component though, so it isn't bundled with the framework.

You can search for components via the adapt-cli like so:

adapt search adapt-contrib

This will list all contributed components, etc; that have been added to the Adapt registry. You can install them with the adapt install command.

Hi Kevin,

This command doesn't seem to work for me:

adapt search adapt-contrib

I am running Windows 7 and have been able to install adapt and build a course as per the documentation (plus adding path variable etc). I can succcessfully use install (and uninstall) to install (and uninstall) components if I know the name of the component but "adapt search {anything}" just returns the "Oh dear, something went wrong" message with no additional information about what went wrong.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Pete

Hey Pete,

Can you check the version of the command line tools you are running?

       npm ls adapt-cli -g

If it does not show adapt-cli@0.0.10  I would recommend updating it by running:

      npm update adapt-cli -g

Hi Chris,

I have checked and I am indeed running adapt-cli@0.0.10.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Pete

To get more information on the error can you :

    npm install bower -g
    cd  {directory where adapt is located}
    bower search contrib

This will attempt to perform the same search but using the bower subsystem directly.

You should get a list of matching plugins or more detailed error.
