nivoslider Javascript not being loaded

[lar48ry]

I have installed the nivoslider and the javascript is not appearing on the page.

This is the script that is appearing:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/hck/css/stylesheet.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/hck/css/stylesheet_css_buttons.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/hck/css/stylesheet_tables.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="includes/templates/hck/css/print_stylesheet.css" />
<script src="includes/templates/hck/jscript/css_browser_selector.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

The templates/hck/jscript/ contains the following files: css_browser_selector, jquery.nivo.slider, jquery-1.5.1.min, but as you can see the one javascipt file appears but the other 2 don't.

Does anyone know why?

What do the instructions tell you about naming the js files? Did you paste code in html_header.php, or just use the autoload folder? To make js files autoload, they need to be named starting with jscript_, like jscript_jquery.nivo.slider.js. I don't know why the one file would autoload but not the others.

Appreciate the response ghj42.

When I went looking for a read-me file for this problem I found this reference "read_me_onload.html", but this file does not seem to exist in v1.5 Doc File, hence this post.

Anyways, I followed your suggestion on adding the "jscript_" to all of the jscript files and it worked like a charm. So that part has made the sun shine in Mudville.

Glad I found this, had the same issue as OP but your post helped me out to get the slider working.
