Here slider is not working when using "Selected images"

The hero slider does not work when Selected images is used. It works fine with Random image. I made sure to select some images and the Groovy code I found on this forum displays them.
Checking the HTML code generated for those two options I don't see the section for the slider.
Random image: <div class="slider" data-slider="{"delay":"4000"}"><div class="slide init"></div></div><div class="hero-overlay color"></div>
Selected images: <div class="hero-overlay color"></div>
I am using Tiger 5.11.3 on jAlbum 32.1.3.

I don't see the links. Not sure what you meant by this: "Groovy code I found on this forum displays them".

You just select the images, I take, but you have to use right-click -> Tiger -> Use in hero slider.

And that feature does not exist before jAlbum 33. |

And as in the post above, Tiger is no longer the default skin and the minimum version of jAlbum could now be increased to 33 as a minimum. |

Even if it were the default skin, I don't think there's anything wrong with the default skin demanding a reasonably up-to-date version of the core. A given version of the skin will always work with the version of jAlbum with which it was bundled. Sufficient. |

Forgot to mention that you can also select the image for the hero slider in Edit mode (in the older versions).

I did select the images using the second method and used some Groovy code I executed in the System console to verify that I did in fact select some images.

No need for any code in the console. Just open one of the images for editing, and see if the box is checked. Screenshot.
And of course, also select Tiger > Site > Hero > Background image > Selected images.

I upgraded to the latest version of jAlbum - exact same issue. I guess I will have to start from scratch to find out why it doesn't work.

I just did a quick test album as a "sanity check," and it works as advertised. Just be aware that the "slider" isn't really a slider - it just goes through a series of theme images in the header, on a timed slideshow. Nothing really "slides."
ETA: Try a little test album with just a handful of images. Upload it somewhere, and give us a link to it.

I played around with it and finally understand how it is supposed to work. I did not realize it only works on a page that has images. I was trying to get it to work on the main page that only has folders.
However, when I selected the folders on the main page and selected "Use in hero slider" it also started to play the images that I selected from a sub-folder. Maybe this is a bug or intentional, but I got it to work this way.

Ah, yes. That's pretty flaky. The UI lets you tell it to use the folder image in the hero slider, but that doesn't actually work. You have to open the folder, and select an individual image as a hero slider member.
Strangely, the other "standard" routine doesn't work. Normally, you can add an image to the top level, exclude it, then tell it to use that image as the theme image (drag to the theme image box). That works fine. But when it comes to the hero slider, that's ineffective. You can't add three images, exclude them, then tell Tiger to use them in the hero slider. Nothing happens.
But if you do both things, all sorts of odd events start occurring. You can end up with a slider on the root page that contains a mix of an excluded top-level image, plus designated folder images.
This is all above my pay grade.  |
