Joomla Front Page Slide Show V2

I came across this problem in Joomla 1.5.x in installing FPSS V2.

So to tweak it, follow this…

FOR JOOMLA 1.5.x
—————————————–
The J1.5 changes to the above examples are…

Code:

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="fpss" />

instead of

Code:

<?php mosLoadModules(‘fpss’,-2);?>

and to add this “fpss” module position in joomla, you need to edit the XML file of your joomla’s template. For example, if you’re using the default “rhuk_milkyway” template, simply navigate to templates/rhuk_milkyway, edit templateDetails.xml and add the line

Code:

<position>fpss</position>

at the bottom of the “positions” block, so

Code:

• 	<positions>		<position>breadcrumb</position>		<position>left</position>		<position>right</position>		<position>top</position>		<position>user1</position>		<position>user2</position>		<position>user3</position>		<position>user4</position>		<position>footer</position>		<position>debug</position>		<position>syndicate</position>	</positions>

will become

Code:

/*	<positions>		<position>breadcrumb</position>		<position>left</position>		<position>right</position>		<position>top</position>		<position>user1</position>		<position>user2</position>		<position>user3</position>		<position>user4</position>		<position>footer</position>		<position>debug</position>		<position>syndicate</position>                <position>fpss</position>	</positions> */

That’s it!

 To put the FPSS in your front page. put  <jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”fpss” /> code above

 ”<jdoc:include type=”component”

After that create module template and name it Frontpage Slidesshow removing the default templates created during installation.

 Thats it!

 UNINSTALL/REINSTALL

Do this when uninstalling:

You must fully uninstall the component and the module and reinstall it again.
Please do the following:

- Uninstall all FPSS components and modules
- Make sure the following folders do not exist
administrator/components/com_fpss
components/com_fpss
modules/mod_fpss

Then re-install. If the files did not properly get deleted previously then it’s either a server files permission issue OR you uploaded the new version without uninstalling the old one.
