I just bought monoslideshow and can not figure out how to integrate it into my site. I am brand spanking new at this stuff so please walk me through step by step. I have the bento box template and have copied the .js, .swf, and .xml files into a folder with in my joomla site called slideshow. I have no idea what to do now.
You can incorporate the slideshow into a module. First turn off WSYWYG editors in Joomla's global config, then create a new module, and paste the following into the content window, configured to you needs: <code><div> <script type="text/javascript" src="monoslideshow/swfobject.js"></script> <div id="monoSlideshow"> <p><strong>Please install Flash and turn on Javascript.</strong></p> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[ var so = new SWFObject("monoslideshow/monoslideshow.swf", "SOmonoSlideshow", "803", "340", "0", "#1f1f1f"); so.addParam("base", "monoslideshow/"); so.write("monoSlideshow");
// ]]> </script> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var so = new SWFObject("monoslideshow.swf", "mss", 790, 400, "7", "#ffffff"); so.addVariable("showLogo", "false"); so.write("mssHolder"); </script></code>
Make sure the slideshow scripts are placed in a folder called "monoslideshow" inside your Joomla root dir.
Just to clarify about where you might want to put your monoslideshow folder and programs, etc. for a newbie
*** you need to create the base address so thats why there is ".addParam("base", "xxxxxx/" so without it fails to find the monoslideshow.xml file
I suggest that you create your "monoslideshow" folder inside the IMAGE folder of your joomla install. That is where all the images, pictures are stored. And you can find that easily.
Posted By: klinefelter</cite>I think you would just make a link in mainmenu to a static content item, then configure the slideshow module to appear only on that page.
I am having difficulties with MSS and Rocket Themes Vortex Theme. I have followed the instructions on the site, and here. However it will not work in IE7, although it will work in FF.
I have the same set up working with Rocket Themes Mobis theme. So it seems the issues is template related. I was wondering if anyone else is having problems.
Hallo, I have the same problem. I treid the way it got described here. Now on the Frontend it says install flash and turn on javascript. Do I have to install flash within joomla and if so HOW????? Same thing with javascript do I have to install that into joomla and if so HOW???? I´m lost an confused because I don´t no anything about stuff like that. I just liked the way it looked at the demo page...:-). Thanks for your help. Falk
When you get that notice make sure your paths to monoslide are correct. Also I noticed that sometimes in IE I have to close the browser and reopen it to see the changes I was making. I image this was due to the browser caching things.
Boohu it worked thanks a lot. But now I get the following message: No images found in .XML-file. and the "window " that monoslideshow ist using is far bigger then the page. What do I have todo now?
Hi, I made the monoslideshow with a Joomla theme w/ the code provided. I'm not using Bento Box, btw. It works perfectly, except I can't load it in IE! It works perfectly in firefox, but when I open in IE, it says it cannot open the site. Operation aborted.
Hi, I inserted Klinefelters code into Joomla as suggested (code below). Everything worked great other than the monoslideshow logo still appears. Any suggestions appreciated.
thanks

I have not been able to upload the .xml .js and .html files to root directory of joomla. I'm using bentobox template and am up to here with monoslide show right now. It gives me the error. "this file type not supported" any suggestions?
I would just like to send a big *thank you* to all who have contributed to this thread. I spent about an hour trying to figure out why my Joomla installation failed to load the appropriate files. I tried just about every combination of directories I could think of, but nothing worked. I finally decided to check this forum and see if other people had had the same problem. And then I found out that the answer had been waiting here for me all that time... Thanks again!
I almost got this monoslide work withjoomla, but not :) All fine but all my joomla replicant dropdown menues are behing the monoslideshow? is there a layer order or should i just forget ti.
Hi all, Another newbie install issue... I'm trying to install monoslide into a joomla (1.0) site but cant seem to create the module. I paste in the code listed out above but when I hit save I get a 403 error that says" "Forbidden You don't have permission to access /joomla/administrator/index2.php on this server."
I've tried changing the permissions on that php document but even rwxrwxrwx doesn't help. I'm not even sure why it's trying to modify that file. Any ideas?
