Hi, I added 2 Frontpage Slideshows to my website and one doesn't work. It doesn't work even if I change the category of pictures it should display or change the slideshow engine (Mootools based, JQuery based).

Also, When I change the template of slideshow #1 it changes the template for #2 too, but when checking the module of #2 the template is still the same as it used to be. As if slideshow #1 influences both slideshows.

As far as I understand from other threads, This is a JQuery conflict. I've also seen a code that's supposed to fix it.

I installed and enabled SC Jquery extension. I also added a noconflict code to the index.php but nothing helped.

This is the "problem" site, as you can see one of the slideshows is stuck in an endless load.

Help would be much appreciated!

First of all check the jquery library handling options.
If this doesn't solve your issue, check your modules
(by disabling them and start enabling them one by one)
in order to find out which one cause the conflict.

I'm not really familiar with JQuery, I did try enabling the option "Do not load the JQuery library" from JQuery library handling on #2 cause it was already enabled in on #1, but that didn't change a thing. Evenly, I've tried letting both load the JQuery and not-load it. Absolutely nothing changes.

I've disabled all modules and only enabled the two slideshows and it shows the same outcome, So I'm guessing it's just the two slideshows conflicting with each other?

I tried making 2 new slideshows aswell but once again, nothing changes.

I have just checked the version of FPSS you use and realized that this is the cause of your  problem.
Only 3.0.2. FPSS version allowes you to use two slideshows in the same page!!!
Please upgrade.

I can't believe this did not occur to me, even though I have the extension on my pc.. Thanks!

Though, A new problem arose when I tried remaking the slideshows (for convenience purposes)

No valid database connection Unknown column 'category.params' in 'field list' SQL=SELECT slide.*, `group`.name AS groupname, category.name AS categoryName, category.params AS categoryParams, author.name AS authorName, moderator.name AS moderatorName FROM jos_fpss_slides AS slide JOIN jos_fpss_categories AS category ON slide.catid = category.id JOIN jos_groups AS `group` ON `group`.id = slide.access LEFT JOIN jos_users AS author ON author.id = slide.created_by LEFT JOIN jos_users AS moderator ON moderator.id = slide.modified_by WHERE slide.published = 1 AND slide.catid = 1 AND slide.access <= 0 AND (slide.publish_up = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' OR slide.publish_up <= '2011-10-18 14:20:01') AND (slide.publish_down = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' OR slide.publish_down >= '2011-10-18 14:20:01') AND category.published = 1 ORDER BY ordering ASC

Not so sure what I'm supposed to make out of this.

Did you fully uninstall the previous version before you install the new one? Cause you should...

I thought that was updated from 2.0+ ? Anyway I think so, If uninstalling means going to extensions -> install/uninstall and going around modules/plugins/languages/templates

edit: sorry, my bad. I forgot the most important part.. :P

You've been a great help, by the way. thanks a lot!

Did you notice this in documentation?
Unfortunately, there is no upgrade path from versions 2.x.x to 3.x.x. because the slideshow has be re-written from scratch and the database scheme is changed. We recommend that you follow this process to setup the latest v3.x.x release:
a) backup your site first (using e.g. Akeeba Backup)
b) note down your slideshows
c) note down your customizations on existing Frontpage Slideshow templates so you can pass them on to the updated ones included in version 3.x.x.

However, you may just uninstall via the joomla Install/Uninstall options.
