Frontpage Slideshow

[brianjw]

thanks for quick reply...

i am using default theme and don't have any blocks because i just installed a blank new smf 1.1.2 and tp 0.9.8...

this frontpage slideshow is my first block to add....

i can't give you the link because i develop in localhost....

hmmm....

Have you modified the default theme?
At this point, I think you will have to wait for aku's reply (gobo) or RoarinRow. They use this and got it to work. I never got to make it work for me so...

the problem skyview and others are having is because of a duplication of folder

check your modules folder via FTP
it will be like this :

Root (where SMF is installed)
Root/modules/modules/images
Root/modules/modules/mod_fpslideshow

it should be like this:

Root (where SMF is installed)
Root/modules/images
Root/modules/mod_fpslideshow

So a simple fix is to simply place the images and mod_fpslideshow so that the directory structure becomes like this

Root (where SMF is installed)
Root/modules/images
Root/modules/mod_fpslideshow

thanks for aku's reply...

i have checked but my directory structure is correct....

root:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\smf\

modules:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\smf\modules\images
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\smf\modules\mod_fpslideshow

should i configure anything if i use localhost to play it?

[brianjw]

I would also recommend you getting a domain. That way you can share it for all

anyway, thanks brianjw....nice to meet you....you are so kind...

Thank you for the compliment

[edwardsiow]

yes...i am looking for suitable web hosting and thinking of what contents should i provided....

it is not easy to build a successful website without good content...

before going into real world, i would always like to test and study in localhost first....

[akulion]

i tried running this locally but no luck for me either
I think its the way the javascript is structured that it requires the script to be on a server

i placed the same as a stand alone on my site and it started working

[edwardsiow]

oh ic...thanks....i will install it on server...

thanks a lot....

Unfortunately, that's not it with me. The modules folder is off of the root of the forum, and the two sub folders are only one level beneath the modules folder as they should be. Still stuck on this one.

Had a little while to work on it again tonight and got it working. Here's what I did.

I copied the whole code block into an index.html to play with. I set it up and changed the paths to be absolute instead of relative and it worked great. So, then I took the working code and copied it back into a frontpage block in TP and it still works, yeah! Just need to figure out now why the next and previous aren't visible. Might have something to do with the fact that I have 15 pictures in it now.
