I recently installed Joomla v3.0.2 and am using the Protostar template. I was looking for a slideshow extension for my site and decided to give ARI Slider a try.

I have uploaded some jpg photos in a subdirectory within /images and was able to successfully install the ARI Slider module. To embed a slideshow in one of my articles, copied the installed slideshow module and renamed the copy "carshow". I then added the image path to "carshow" module and selected "all pages" for the menu assignment.

I then edited my article and placed {loadmodule carshow} after the text. However, the slideshow does not appear in either Firefox or IE.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

Send a link to a page where you try to use the slider and screenshot(s) of module settings page. You can send it by email.

Regards,

Many thanks to ARI's prompt response. The fixes for my issue were:

Changed path from “/images/XXXX/YYYY” to “images/XXXX/YYYY” (no leading slash)
Changed module position from noposition to “myposition01”
Changed code in article to {loadposition myposition01}

For any other slideshows, I will just copy that module and make the following changes:

Change image path to reflect current image folder location
Rename the module name to mypostion02, mypostion03, etc
Use the applicable module position eg {loadposition myposition02} {loadposition myposition03} etc

To minimize my image folder storage size, I resized all of my photos to 640x480 for the web site. To get the slideshow to fit within the width of the article, I set the module's Responsive field to "Yes" and changed the Width to "640" and the Height to "480".
