How can I insert frontpage slideshow (FPSS) into my welcome template?
the FPSS is suppose to run on index_tpl.php outside Joomla according to the creators is very easy to insert.
Well I have inserted it in the index.php on the root directory and it works (to my surprise)
but is above every thing else, meaning that it pushes the web page down to make room for it. That is not what I would like to see there, I would like to see it embedded into say one of the either top or main block on the system.
How ca I insert it properly?
PS: I have seen a Carousel Image Rotator module been sold for US39.00 but I have already purchased FPSS some time ago and I would like to learn how to insert it into CS-Cart.
Why did you not insert it through the back end/Design/Site layout/embed media?
Please supply a link to the site so we can see what you are talking about.

Thaks for your quick replay.
The site is www.zugzcomputers.com.au
is usually close because I have been working on it for one week after work but I am planning to start as soon as I can.
I got it!
but it was to much of a problem to modify so i removed it and will see what I will do later.
I will explain the way i got it for those interested here.
If you have purchased FPSS from the site you will get a download link one would be for Joomla insert and another for would be a stand alone version.
pick stand alone version and upload it to your site as normal, once installed according to instructions you would have to insert a php script:
$nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "yourslides";
$URLofyoursite = "http://www.yourweb.com";
$AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/home/user/public_html";
// do not edit below this line
include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php");
// END of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
?>
But where are you going to insert this code?
I figure it out, that by going to Design and the Design Mode and activate customization mode. You can preview your site in real life then you would point to where you want to see the slideshow for example -Center- then you would click on the small icon and insert the code there.
That's all I did and it work. But a word of warning ONCE I INSERTED THE CODE I COULD NOT MODIFY IT'S SURROUNDINGS sorry about caps it was intentional and I wasn't trying to shout at you. It's because I spend nearly two hours trying to find the file I modify, so I could change it back to what it was before.
I had to do all that in cpanel and look around for the mystery file, because I could not see it anywhere in cs-cart menus folder or whatever. - so be careful
Well I don't know if this will help someone out there but if it does I will be glad I could help and if it doesn't it will be OK too
This is the end for now----
