Hey,

ich mach mal kurz auf deutsch: Ich würd dir sofort helfen, bin aber leider noch die ganze Woche in Tschechien beruflich unterwegs und komme immer erst so gegen 9 bis 10 kurz mit meinem Laptop im Hotel online. Leider habe ich meine ganzen Dateien zu WP aber auf meinem Heim-Rechner.

Ich habe aber glaub ich in den Kommentaren zu meinem 1.6er Tut gestern gelesen, dass es jemand einfach so auf 1.7 angewandt hat und es funktioniert hat. Siehe: I tried following your instructions as per ver 1.6, but the code needed
to go into a different area in the mod_fpslideshow.php. Not a major
problem, and after a few tweaks, I have it working.

Vom Prinzip her muss einfach mein Code dahin, wo die FPSS die einzelnen Slides einbindet. Schau mal, ob du es schaffst, sonst schick mir doch bitte gezippt die 1.7er zu, dann gucke ich es mir morgen abend an.

i wrote a tutorial for the fpss.

but i will release a plugin soon that you can use to set up a slideshow with another WP-slideshow plugin. i just change the plugin so that it uses dynamic content.

??? I didnt delete the index.php. I dont quite get your question? What is it exactly you wanna know? On my website I use the same index.php like in the original template except for some customizing work such as a different background color, slideshow instead of ui-tabs, different categories as featured articles and I put a second sidebad beneath the middle-column. I think that's it…

Yeah, unfortunately it cost me 22,- EUR. But for me, it's worth the money. Please read the forum of frontpageslideshow before you buy it. There are some people seeming to have problems with the script. Its natively written for Joomla, and it seems that its people using it on Joomla, who a experiencing the errors.

I tested my blog on IE7, Safari and Firefox and I do not get errors, so for me everything is fine. If anyone of you gets errors on my page please tell me your browser and OS Version.

Support from the guys who develop FPSS does not seem to be very good. Normally a behaviour I don't like, but as I said before fortunately for me everything works fine.

Once you bought the script its almost self-explanatory. Just delete the ui-tab call in the index.html and replace it with the slideshow-call. Some CSS-Adjustments and settings in the fpss.php and all is fine.

One major customization I did was that I changed the FPSS.php so that I dont have to fill in the posts I want in my slideshow manually but they are pulled from the_loop automatically if they are in a certain category. And I use the_excerpt and the_title and the custom field (leadimage) so that all is put automatically to the slideshow. Was all pretty easy even without programming knowledge (which I dont have ;-))

if I have to buy it i'm fine with that - just give me the product link and instructions on how to install.

thanks!

fabulous!

teach me how!!
