Hi,

Just purchased FrontPageSlideShow, the new version (FrontpageSlideshow-v3.2.0_j1.5-2.5.zip).
I'm using Joomla 1.7. Don't have Joom!fish and not going to use it in the future.

PROBLEM:  It will not upload my image. The wheel keeps on turning... and turning.. and when it stopped, there is no image preview.  I was able to save. But nothing comes up when I click "Quick Preview". Again, the wheel keeps on turning and turning...  I was able to do "quick preview" of the sample slides.

I think I have all the requirements. My PHP Info:    0356a1e.netsolhost.com/phpinfo.php

Folder permission (SAME FOR ALL SUB-DIRECTORIES -  755):

Please help?

anyone else?

Check your permissions please.

Check your permissions please.

I did. It's 755. I posted the image above.

The document said I can use 755 or 777.  Should I change it to 777?

Please help.... ???????????????????????????????????????????????

And FYI, the current slideshow on my frontpage is NOT fpss. It's from my website template.

Please pm me backend access to your site to check it out...

I have noticed similar behavior and it is a permissions issue with /media/fpss
At times I have to reset the permissions to 775 for everything in the media folder to clear it up but after selecting a new pic on the next slide I have to fix perms once again on the media folder.

It almost seems like whatever is writing to the media/fpss/cache folder is changing the permissions for that folder.

Just something I forgot....Anyone who uses a chmod 777 is asking for trouble!
Better to use a 775 at most. You don't want to give anyone read, execute AND write privs thats the fast track to getting hacked!

I am having the same problem, what I can do? Change the permissions effectively solve the problem? a very old edition of the component (Frontpage Slideshow v1.7.1) works well, but I had problems using Joomfish, so I bought this new version.

@asphyx, camji,
First of all check your memory limit. If this is ok, please install Admin Tools from www.akeebabackup.com/ in order to fix your permissions as they should be and then reinstall the extension.

memory limit is currently listed as 32M. Necessary increase? I have a hosting, so I'm not sure how I can make this increase indirectly. It is necessary to create a php.ini in the application folder?

Did you solve your issue? Did you fix your permissions with Admin Tools?

No, I could not solve the problem. In addition now is not working at all! Management console appears without images or format and the "Browse server" button does nothing.

My main problem is to use Joomfish. Can you provide another version that works with Joomla 1.5 and Joomfish v2.0.4 (Lightning)?

Hi, I have also experienced this problem today. I purchased the product in February latest version running on Joomla 1.523 stable version. I created two seperate FPSS modules at the time and whilst i did have trouble loading images to create slides they did eventually load.

However today I have tried to create a third module and load images to create slides and the loader image just continues spinning on a never ending loop and therefore I can not create the slide. What is most baffling though it that when I check the images/comp_ffps/cache and src files the images I have tried to load are there.

I checked all my permisisons are set correctly I have tried both 755 and 777 but absolutely no joy. Please can you tell me what the fix is as it seems from this thread to be a rather regular occurence.

Thanks
Andy

Sorry that is media/com_fpss/cache and media/com_fpss/src not images/com_fpss

Check your permissions please.

Ha ha thanks Harriet, the computer is also plugged in and switched on. Any other ideas?

@camji and @Lostboy73,
