Alright guys, through Concepts A+ help it is finally working for me. I didn't have a forum root and that what was getting me. Here's some feedback as to what was the problem.

For those of you who don't actually have a forum root.. which means you don't have yoursite.com/forums don't try to point it to a file...

yoursite.com/forums.php

...however if your forums are basically located directly at yoursite.com you leave the path as is vbpath=' '; just leave it blank so it can be read directly from your site root.

Your board is down. You can't get any help if we can't see the problem.

Alright, where to start. I thought it would be a smooth process when I figured out to email them for the vBulletin file. Wrong answer.

I don't know if I got the correct file or not. I can't even open it, unless I'm not supposed to. Maybe I'm just supposed to upload it to the root.

Following the instructions here, I really don't know where I'm supposed to change the path to >>>> '/board/' in the mod_fpslideshow.php file. And also the forum ids. Not sure where in the coding to add these.

Any advise is greatly appreciated by anyone. I'm sorry for sounding like such a lost newbie, but for the most part, I am. I've gotten the site to where it is, but for some reason, this is really confusing to me.

Have you taken a look at the file? You're supposed to be able to open it. I like to use Wordpad. The vBulletin settings are located near the top. You can change the path, ids, etc in the file. All the parameters are labeled with notes to help guide you.

Yeah, I opened it with Wordpad as well, and this is all I get throughout the entire file:

Code:

I figured all of the information that I need to add is within this file, but I'm guessing I received the wrong file? Odd to me.

Hmmm, Interesting.

I'd contact Joomla and let them know what's going on. Either through e-mail or their support forum.

Definitely did that, both via email and their support forum. Standing by........

SidelineSports · #**320** 07-12-2007, 02:49 PM

....still standing by! This is rediculous. What kind of support do they have over at Joomla? I have emailed a few times and posted twice on the support forums. I have yet to get a response in well over 48 hours. All I need is the file to install the Slideshow in vb. I received the com_fpslideshow_1.1 and mod_fpslideshow_1.6 files 12 days ago. Is this too much to ask for something that I purchased? Maybe there's a national holiday going on over in Greece that I am unaware about.

Thanks to Peter (rickyreter) I have gotten a little bit further then I have with Joomla Support. So thank you Peter for your assistance! Much appreciation.

So, I have it installed on the site now, but if you check it out here http://www.sidelinesportstalk.com , you will notice that it is far from correct. I'm getting images on top of images and a bunch of text everywhere. But I am happier know then I have been for the past few days. Atleast I have something now. Not pretty, but it's a start I guess.

Any ideas for anyone?
