thank you, oh high-n-mighty. I know the difference between threads and posts. Do you know the difference between clearly written responses, good helpful support and being a condescending pr!ck?

well let me educate you.. you are NOT the former. just cause you can't actually fix it or answer a question straight or write proper instructions.. do'nt take it out on us.

Maybe that guy accusing you of pirating wasn't far off... maybe you actully had to get someone else to code it, which is why you can't answer straight questions and get all defensive about your horrible instructions.

well, in the least, it seems he was correct about your character.



then you're lucky. obviously, plenty of others (not just me) aren't.

yah, its true, coders have to put with a inordinate amount of annoying questions... but if he's so knowledgeable that shouldn't be a surprise to him, nor should be used as an excuse to be condescending to anyone with a questions he finds "below him". All other coders I've seen here handle it with grace and courtesy.

So, yup...he's not required to answer questions... but likewise, neither is it unreasonable to expect some support if he marks it as "Supported hack"--ESPECIALLY for one that requires a PURCHASE, nor was it required to be defensive, reactionary baby and put-down others with legimate questions when he finally did reply about it (talk about arrogant). I'm not required to take it either...just cause he obviously has some serious insecurities to have an attitude like that over simple questions.

I can live without the hack (sux aobut the money, but oh well), or ask someone who ain't a insecure bish to help out, but sadly for him there isn't a bug fix for him the poor image he has just created for himself by being a condenscending pr!ck.



note: I didn't personally attack him, I even said it was a great hack and appreciated the help, but now... after the last cracks at me and others in that few posts, I will say... honestly....

I've been on the board for long time with hundreds of hacks installed at one point or another... to all who may reead this: he is simply the rudest, most patronizing, uncooperative coder with the weakest instructions with the most passive aggressive support I've ever had to deal with.

It is telling that this is the first time I've had issue with a coder's attitude after all this time. I know I am not alone in thinking this either. Absolutely unacceptable for a hack that requires a paid for script.

To Zig and others with problems with this mod:

1. Here is the "full vBversion" of the slideshow.php which genius over here didn't seem it necessary to tell people you have to request from the joomala coder and was needed for implementing his mod. use it in lieu of the one in the first post download.

Yup the slideshow.php uploaded here by lamea$$lionel doesn't work (for many). And you have to request a different one from joomala (which, yes, defeats the purpose of having it here).

2. NOTE: You still have to purchase the Frontpage slideshow from joomala to get the the needed files (mod_fpslideshow_1.1.zip), so don't think you're getting anything free. this is what SHOULD here for download with this mod.

I don't give a damn about whole your post but there is one thing that is sure.

You have absolutely no RIGHT to redistrubute someone else's codes.

As the coder stated several times he is not releasing the full version here since he doesn't want pirated versions to use it and look at the clever guy around , you , has no respect to anyone and release the script without any premission.

Because of people like you noone is willing to share anything at vb.org.

You shall know that even a hack is supported the author have a right not to support everyone especially if the question has been asked and answered before. You may have tons of free time but most people don't. And answering the same question over and over again takes tons of times.
