You need to upload php via FTP

Okay, I purchased the addon and already received it via email. I unzipped it renamed the folder to mod_fpslideshow in order to match the directions and the path within slideshow.php. I uploaded the folder to my clientscript folder and chmod all .js files to 777. Next, I edited the slideshow.php file and only applied one forum number (110). I changed all the /forums path to /vb and I'm assuming here:

fopen("/var/www/forums/clientscript/mod_fpslideshow/mod_fpslideshow.js",'w');

I would change that to the direct path to the mod_fpslideshow.js file -- like this:

fopen("/home/domain/public_html/vb/clientscript/mod_fpslideshow/mod_fpslideshow.js",'w');

I uploaded 4 images to my new forum, and then created a php module within the vbacmps following the directions and activated the module, but for some reason I'm getting the following error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /modules/slideshow.php on line 257

The mod is also not playing nice with my skin/theme. It's throwing the header bar underneath the mod and nothing is aligning.

Did I miss something?

Here's a screenshot of the error - you can see here that it's not playing nice with my skin/theme either.

If this module isn't working good with your style then you probably have a bug in your style.

did you also change the forums path in scripts ?
Also please check the following

$forumid=array(110);

You shall not have a comma if you only have one forum

Well, I know there's no problem with the style I'm using because every other mod I've installed works fine...

Which scripts? I've searched all 4 .js files and the .css file and didn't see any paths to change.

Yea, I checked that and confirmed that there are no commas after the single forum number.

Note, I figured out a portion of my problem(s). For one, after unzipping the addon, it created a folder mod_fpslideshow_1.1 Folder, and within that folder is another folder: mod_fpslideshow. What I did was renamed the mod_fpslideshow_1.1 Folder to mod_fpslideshow and copied that folder into the clientscript directory. The final path ended up being /clientscript/mod_fpslideshow/mod_fpslideshow/

Once I figured out my blunder, I deleted the folders and just uploaded the sub-folder: mod_fpslideshow into the clientscript directory --- so now part of my problem was fixed, but I still had the Warning Error.

It turns out, this mod only works with ATTACHMENTS. I have the Geek Gallery Popup 4.00 and highslide mod(s) installed, so when I created the new forum, and applied images - I applied images using Geek Gallery Popup.

I re-applied an image as an attachment, and now the images work (sorta) along with the addon. Since my style is not fixed, the module resizes with the browser, so I need to figure out how to apply a 100% width w/out making it stretch outside the normal middle column boundaries.

And, the modules title bar is still displaying under the addon.

You can view the site here: http://www.neosmut.com the module is at the bottom (center)

This mod rotates attachments for specific forums that you set.

Your page looks fine, so I gather you fix it. Also make sure that the vbadvanced module is not using any container. It's not using any title bar.

Use Module Shell Template: NO

If I wanted to apply a title bar and encase the entire mod within a template, I should be able to just create a template to include the title bar background etc... correct?

The whole idea of the css <div> is to keep it free from tables. If you want to try, try it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I would go about doing this? I've been playing around with it for about an hour, and tried a few things like using the following line of code, which is found in other modules... eval('$home["$mods[modid]"][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_slideshow') . '";'); and then I created a template (adv_portal_slideshow) using the code below.

I also tried using creating the block manually using the following table code...

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
	<thead>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('slideshow')"><img id="collapseimg_slideshow" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$collapseimg_slideshow.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			<span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_style[portal_blockbullet] slideshow Module</strong></span>
		</td>
	</tr>
	</thead>
	
	<tbody id="collapseobj_slideshow" style="$collapseobj_slideshow">
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" align="center">
		
		</td>
	</tr>
	</tbody>

</table>
<br />

The problem I see is that the variables are not declared anywhere, so the code doesn't know what to do? I'm no programmer (by a long shot), but I've been able to figure out little things here and there... Thanks in advance for the help.
