Idiot's guide to define images

[timu]

Hi guys, first of all, I really appreciate the great work that you've done with your themes and extensions. Thanks :)

But I'm having some issues figuring out exactly how to define what images I want to display in the piecemaker show.

To me, it doesn't make sense to define a Joomla Section/Category for the images. Why can't we just point to a folder of images that's already been defined by the Joomla media manager?

Maybe it's just me, but I can't figure out how to use the Joomla Category to show the piecemaker show.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Hi Tim,

JV Piecemaker is designed for sliding Joomla! articles in order that your articles must contain the images which you want to slide

Hi Kmatsu,

I just created a section called "Slideshow" and a category called "Slideshow" - you actually take your images and place them right into the article - the developer makes it so easy for us there! Just select that section and category in the module setting and you'll display those articles where you put your images.You can also write text below your image and have that show up.

Hope this help!
