As anticipated earlier today, version 1.1 of our free flash slideshow Joomla module is being released!
This module lets you use version 1.2 of our slideshow in your Joomla 1.5 websites. Installation is easy. Just download the latest version of the free flash slideshow Joomla module, and install the it in your joomla admin panel.
Once installed, you can set all the parameters through the module admin page. Take a look at the CCSlideShow user guide for a complete list of all parameters.
You can have more than one slide show on your pages, simply by copying the module.
The joomla module is released under the GNU/GPL license.
The CCSlideShow.swf flash file included in the module is released under this license. As long as the flash file is a part of the ccslideshow joomla module, you are free to use it as if it was released under GNU/GPL as well. If you want to use it outside of the ccslideshow joomla module, then you’ll have to abide the rules of this this license.
In this new version, it will be possible to specify the target window of the link. Until now, clicking on the slide (assuming links are enabled) always opened a new window. But from the new version on, you’ll have the possibility to choose from four possible targets:
- the current frame in the current window
- a new window
- the parent of the current frame
- the top-level frame in the current window.
Have fun! And please continue to write your problems, comments, ideas.

Hi,
thanks for the nice module.
Unfortunately there is one bad thing: That module is not fulfilling the W3C recommendations, so its not valid.
I think thats a thing you should change to make the module even more better.

Hello Phil, thanks for your feedback. Next week I’ll adjust one of the errors (& instead of &) that showed up at validation. The other errors depend on the EMBED tag, which isn’t standard, but is needed to load flash objects in for example FireFox.
I could get rid of that non compliant tag, but I would have to use javascript, which has its own drawbacks (not everybody has it enabled). So that’s not an acceptable solution for me.
Use of the embed tag inside the object tag when handling flash objects is generally used and accepted, even if it doesn’t validate. So until all browsers support the object tag, or the embed tag is added to the standard, I won’t be able to change this.
I hope you can live with this answer

Hi Tanja, thanks for your interest in the slide show. Next time though, please ask support questions in the support forum.
Now, about your questions:
- You don’t have to worry about ‘step 4′. You found those steps in the User Guide for the ‘do-it-yourself’ version of the slide show, and you have a Joomla website, and installed the joomla module. Right? So once installed, all you have to do is set the settings in the joomla modules admin panel. Like you do for every other joomla module.
- Those errors indicate that the joomla module can’t create the two xml files it needs inside its folder (modules/mod_ccslideshow). Without these files the slide show won’t work, so you’ll have to make sure the permissions for that folder are set correctly. Try 755 (this should work) and if it doesn’t work, then try 777.
You can also wait for the next version of the slide show (currently under development), which should eliminate the problem completely. I can’t tell you yet when it will be released though.
Hej Admin.
Thank you for your time. Iam going to write my following questions in the support forum.
I think it is fun an look very much forward to making this modul work:-)
Perhaps we will talk in the support forum.
Bedst regards
Tanja
