I have purchased the script.
Have search everywhere for a solution.
Modified my head code:

Jamrie | Answers to Personal Questions


jQuery.extend(Drupal.settings, { "basePath": "/", "block_submit": { "block_submit_method": "hide", "block_submit_css": "", "block_submit_abtext": "", "block_submit_atext": "", "block_submit_hide_css": "block-submit-processing", "block_submit_hide_text": "", "block_submit_hide_fx": 1 }, "views": { "ajax_path": [ "/views/ajax", "/views/ajax", "/views/ajax" ], "ajaxViews": [ { "view_name": "frontpage", "view_display_id": "page", "view_args": "", "view_path": "frontpage", "view_dom_id": 1, "pager_element": 0 }, { "view_name": "frontpage_styled", "view_display_id": "block_1", "view_args": "", "view_path": "frontpage", "view_dom_id": 2, "pager_element": 0 }, { "view_name": "recent_nodes_articles_frontpage", "view_display_id": "block_1", "view_args": "", "view_path": "frontpage", "view_dom_id": 3, "pager_element": 0 } ] } });$(document).ready(function(){ $('
').pngFix(); });

But for some reason I cannot get this to work.
Can anyone help?

Nevermind I got this to work!
All I did was follow these steps: http://drupal.org/node/265100

Great module!

Doing it like this seems to make the module not necessary or am I wrong? A lot of people seem to do it that way because fpss-module cannot be made working. I'll give it a last try tonight and hopefully get it to go.

To get this module working, you should not have to follow that set of steps.

And, yes DDDave, you are correct, following those steps does make the module useless.

There are several things that need to be set correctly, mostly, because I ported the code from the Drupal 5 version to 6 fairly quickly and without to much difference in functionality.

If you need help, I can oblige vmenelas.

If I follow the steps (mentioned in #1) it works, but indeed, I can't get the slideshows to work on Drupal 6.10 using the module.
Does anyone have a workaround/patch/fix/...clue...??

matteo.c’s picture

I've the same problem too on drupal 6.10.
can you write a guide for using the module?

thanks

vmenelas’s picture

The guide can be found here: http://drupal.org/node/265100

But if it confuses you, here is what I did.
I first enable php (admin/modules)

Then I copy and paste this code

// START of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
    $nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "myslideshow";                     // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
    $URLofyoursite = "http://www.example.com";                     // Enter your site's URL.
    $AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/home/user/public_html";    // Enter the root path of your site on the server.
   
    // do not edit below this line
    include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php");
// END of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings

And modified, "myslideshow" "example.com" and "/home/user/public_html"
After you have modified those codes, then upload the fpslideshow to your main directory (inside public_html)

Once it is uploaded, name your slideshow "myslideshow" or any name you want to give it. Make sure it is the same name as you gave it in public_html.

Input Format for php code. Save it, and make it viewable.
It should work fine.

I have the same error! Help me please! :-)

vmenelas’s picture

What are your guys website.
Make sure you are naming your slideshow.

Guys... I'm getting the same error message with this.

Just purchased and downloaded the fpss from joomlaworks and followed this guide : http://drupal.org/node/265100 - which gives :

    * warning: include_once(/racekites/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\racekites\includes\common.inc(1645) : eval()'d code on line 8.
    * warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '/racekites/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\pear\') in C:\xampp\htdocs\racekites\includes\common.inc(1645) : eval()'d code on line 8.

I've also tried the Drupal module for fpss and get similar errors.....

Please could someone guide me.... this is a great bit of code and I'd really like to get it working... !!

Update :

Here's my workflow.

1. copy the fpss folder to the root of my site
2. created a new block containing :

	<?php
// START of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
    $nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "myslideshow";                     // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
    $URLofyoursite = "http://192.168.42.130";                     // Enter your site's URL.
    $AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/racekites";    // Enter the root path of your site on the server.
   
    // do not edit below this line
    include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php");
// END of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
?>		
myslideshow exists (is a copy of demoslideshow) in htdocs/racekites/fpss/slideshows
192.168.42.130 is the IP of the virtual machine i'm using to develop the site
$AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php exists

and enabled this to be viewed on the front page.

3. navigate to the front page and get an error above.

Cheers
A

Hi Vmenelas
where did you paste the code?
I went to modules and enabled PHP Filter. I hope that is what you mean by enable PHP.Next you say you copy and paste the code. Good. I have copied the code. Where do I paste it? Please help. Also the following instructions -could you please explain more. "And modified, "myslideshow" "example.com" and "/home/user/public_html" Thankyou

vmenelas,

Are you using the Drupal module? If using the module, does the fpss folder still need to be in the root? What about the css folder? where does it go, and what goes in it?

I don't understand the function of this module. Everthing I read about FPSS says nothing about it. I put the CSS folder in the site root, and now the configuration page of the module can find it.

I have changed the settings in my PHP input many different ways - trying to install on local host - I still cannot get this to work.

PHP input:

<?php
// START of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
    $nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "myslideshow";                     // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
    $URLofyoursite = "http://localhost/TestSite";                     // Enter your site's URL.
    $AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/TestSite";    // Enter the root path of your site on the server.
    
    // do not edit below this line
    include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php");
// END of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
?>

Errors:

warning: include_once(/TestSite/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in F:\Program Files\ApacheWebServer\Apache2\htdocs\TestSite\includes\common.inc(1645) : eval()'d code on line 8.
warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '/TestSite/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in F:\Program Files\ApacheWebServer\Apache2\htdocs\TestSite\includes\common.inc(1645) : eval()'d code on line 8.

The instructions in the module readme tell me to upload the same folders - engine, etc to sites/all/modules/fpss/fpss as the other readme files instruct to make sure are uploaded to the fpss folder in the root. These files are in two different places. The module is looking for them in the fpss module folder, and the file reference in the error above - TestSite/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php is looking forengine in the root!

Please help!

I am using this right here:
http://www.frontpageslideshow.net/

Not the drupal module. You do have to purchase the slideshow from that website, then you can use it after you purchased it.
I have gotten it on my website: Jamrie.com perfectly

If you do not have the slideshow, then most likely you are not going to have the same effect as me. But if you have other slideshows
1) Make sure your php is enable under modules
(Enable it when you are posting)

2)I have not tested this on a local server.

I had the same problem myself.
I double checked everything and they seemed right. But the problem was still there.
Finally I realized that the problem was on the path that I gave in the line

..........
$AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/TestSite";    // Enter the root path of your site on the server.
..........

I thought that I everything was wright but they weren't.
So double check the path and I 'm sure that you 'll find the solution that you looking for.

Hope I helped

I'm having an issue unlike the rest. If I paste the code into the page.tpl.php file, it works fine, indicating my install of the folders is correct. However, I paste the same code into a block the exists only on my homepage and nothing happens, the block is not displayed. The block, called front-banner on the site, is used for a swf file called through PHP. What else must I do to have the slideshow appear in this block? Can someone direct me on this please?
