hi..i have created a basic slide show of some image by Basic Dynamic Display Block Module in my site.
But that particular slide show is appearing on every page of my site.

I have selected the 2nd (Show on only the listed pages) option in visibility property of the slide show.

Show block on specific pages:

1: Show on every page except the listed pages.
2: Show on only the listed pages. (i select this)
3: Show if the following PHP code returns TRUE (PHP-mode, experts only).

what should i do show that the slide show appear only on my home page..

To show a block only on the home page you would put <front> in the field below the block specific setting. (this can also be read in the helptext under that field., you need to leave the lesser then (<) and greater then (>) sign around front.)

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

For only showing the slideshow on a particular page select the radio button: Show on only the listed pages.
and in the pages field in the Page specific visibility fill in to node/[node_number] e.g. node/7

See also the helptext under this field.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

The visiblity and block title settings are not sticking if you configure through Site configuration->Dynamic display block. However, you can work around this problem by configuring through Site building->Blocks.

#5 Thanks for pinpointing the issue and the solution you give.

Adjusted issue title.
Make this a bug report

That visibility and block title settings are not saved if you configure through
Administer > Site configuration > Dynamic display block, would be a bug.
