directoryimage option specific settings

The settings here only take effect when the directoryimage option is selected. It will then use images from directories instead of reading from CCK.

image directory pattern:

Question: where do I put the images folder?

Also, it seems as if the block wont show at all - loads no JS into the header or anything.

Just got my jCarousel block working, and I'm also using directoryimage. The folder is relative to your default files folder, which is usually /sites/default/files. So the default value for the directoryimage setting of /pictures/$nid means that the module will go to /sites/default/files/pictures and then look under that folder for a folder matching the current node's ID ($nid).

If you're not bothered about anything node-specific or just want the block to use images from one directory, you can remove the $nid variable from the path. I have a folder under /sites/default/files/renew* that I have all my images in, so I have directoryimage set to /renew.

Hope that helps! Well, maybe not you, seen as I'm nearly 2 years late, but it should help someone!
