Installing the "Frontpage Slideshow" ON HOME PAGE ONLY?
« on: November 26, 2007, 11:08:51 AM »
Hello,

I've tried many slideshows, galleries some free (with donations) and some I've paid for and FP looks like it will do what I wish. Sadly, though but before I spend more USD to buy FP and cannot get things to work an am asking for help.

I wish to verify that I can easily control showing FP this on the HOME PAGE ONLY?

My site is www.myccvc.com [nofollow] I wish to display latest "event" pictures in the BANNER section of this home page template.

http://demotemplates.joomlashack.com/lush/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=30 [nofollow]

Additionally, wish to create a separate content page to place ALL pictures and a gallery that will replace the current Flickr slideshow I am now using at http://www.myccvc.com/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,263/ [nofollow]

So, can you help? Can I get a 5 day test drive?

Thanks in advance...

Mike

 Installing the "Frontpage Slideshow" vBulletin/vBadvanced version
« on: March 15, 2007, 03:54:01 PM » 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JoomlaWorks has developed a modification of Frontpage Slideshow to work on vBulletin.

You just need to have published posts/threads with attached images (allowing guest downloading access for attachments via the admincp guest permissions), so that they can be used as slides. The first attached image is used for the slideshow, while the slide text is auto retrieved by the specific post/thread (as well as any related links).

See Frontpage Slideshow in action on our vBulletin demo site at: www.frontpageslideshow.net/vbulletin [nofollow]

[MOD NOTE: THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE CURRENTLY BEING UPDATED TO REFLECT VERSION 1.6 REV.1 CHANGES - 19th Nov. 2007]

You can test FPSS live on www.frontpageslideshow.net (see the backend as well).

Yes, it can work on your homepage only.

Hi Fotis,

Ok, I am buying the product it looks SOOOOOOO good and just hope I can make it work like I need to. Front page, content, etc, like the DEMO shows. It's not the product I doubt...it's ME that I doubt  :'(

In the end I am wanting to replace the Flickr gallery I am using PLUS add more capability like FP has.

See http://www.myccvc.com/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,263/ [nofollow]

Thanks wish me GOOD LUCK?

Welp....

I bought FP, download and went through the installation guide and apparently messed something up.

Attached is a Screen Shot...

Also, it would appear the JPGs cannot be found although I've loaded the inout a "browse for an image on the server"

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi my friend!

At the screenshot, i see that at the "image path" you have only the path to a folder and not to an image.

When you use ( at the creation of a slide ) the option "Browse from server"
a popup appear with the file-image system of your site.

From there select the images you want and then save the slide with all the others informations.

You also, can tell me what you have done exactly to see if is going something wrong!

Thank you!

Re: Installing the "Frontpage Slideshow" GALLERY of many PICS?
« Reply #6 on: November 30, 2007, 04:16:09 PM »
Ok...I tried a single picture and it works, but only 1 picture vs a "true" slide show linked toi a complete directory (gallery) of pics, like at the link below

http://www.myccvc.com/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,263/ [nofollow]

Just do not wish to use Flickr.

As I said I doubted me, not FP. Whick it would appear I goofed.

Options? Ideas?

Hi,

It is not you.  ;D

You will have to make for each picture in the folder a seperate slide in FPSS. It hasn't got the ability to read a whole folder. That is because of the idea behind FPSS, to attract peoples' attention for a content-tem by showing them a glossy picture, with a link to a certain part of your website.

Kind Regards,

Peter
