Simple SlideShow Block

[virtualdave]

Very bizarre. I tried both your suggestions and I'm still not getting anything. Just the title bar shows up on the left side in the portal page. It seems like I should at least be getting a blank image area with the red X.
thanks again.

Well you'll have to figure out the path then. Maybe your host can help you if you can't figure it out.

Just to keep this puzzling situation alive..... I have no trouble placing a link to the images in my slides folder and having it display using BBC or html code in an approiate block using this path
(tp-images/slides/xxxx.jpg). But, the Simple slide show doesn't like it?

Can you post your code that you're trying to use?

[virtualdave]

Here it is fresh and just failed the test again , with the same path to image that works in an html/bbc block
thank you

I have edited the code in your post with a change. Try that code and see if that works for you now.

[virtualdave]

It works. Thanks I will have to look closely to see what you changed, or what I was doing wrong. lol
greatly appreciated!

There was an error where the document.write() function started. I'm not sure how javascript handles line breaks so I just added a document.write function for each line. Then it worked.

I apologize for posting in old topic, but i have a question regarding this slide show in this topic, is there a way to make those images we add in that slide show to be clickable and how. 

[Shade]

Everytime i try to put it in a java block it just warns me about "hack attempt".
Can i fix this thing?
