viewscarousel
I can't get the viewscarousel to work as expected. Have you imporved on documentation?
I'm paid for and used 6 of your themes thus far with no problems (actually I think I did run into a similar issue with litehouse). The website address I'm providing is *behind* an "Advanced front page":

I used latest stable views 2 & viewscarousel 6.2.x

Hey Doug,
Try replacing carousel.css with the version of carousel.css I've attached here and see if that clears things up for you. There was a problem with file that I actually thought I'd solved (in that it was mysteriously empty), and yet I just checked the pack and it's still the wrong version.

Hey Rob-
Swapped the carousel.css - no change that I noticed.
It's like there's an issue with viewscarousel? No errors in views > carousel > ... There were no setting instruction in "Advanced install" document so I didn't mess with the "Views Carousel" settings.
If you need to get in as admin I can provide access via my desktop (I use CrossLoop for remote access with clients).

Sure, that might be the quickest way to solve this if you want to e-mail the info. There shouldn't have really been any need to alter any of the settings after import, as with the other themes. For some reason it just looks like the CSS isn't getting through.

Hi Doug,
For some reason the css for the carousel isn't being imported, and that seems to be the whole of the problem - everything else looks to be setup correctly. Just to confirm, is carousel.css located in sites/all/themes/seashell/css/ and does the file have css in it?

Alright - I actually see that the themes are located in sandpiperclothiers.com/themes, but the carousel.css still isn't being accessed...
Try this: take the code within the carousel.css file I posted above and paste it into the stylesheet (style1.css).
I think I must be pointing the view to the wrong location.

That worked. Is this a *stop-gap* or a solution? Thanks.

It's a valid way of doing it, but the carousel code would have to be added to whatever stylesheet you end up using - having it in a seperate file is preferable. In the Views Carousel config, you must specify the path to carousel.css, and I'm under the impression it's located at sites/sandpiperclothiers.com/themes/seashell/css/carousel.css but for some reason it doesn't seem to be finding it. Is that the correct path?
