Okay, so I am using v2.0.0 of the Frontpage Slideshow plugin on 1.5.18 Joomla. I did not upgrade versions and did not install this version, I am now the sites administrator and my predecessor installed it.

When I set the module parameter for "category" to anything but "1" I get this error when loading the page the module is published to.

"500 - Unknown column 'home' in 'where clause' SQL=SELECT * FROM fpss_slides WHERE state = 1 AND registers <= 25 AND ( publish_up = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' OR publish_up <= '2012-01-23 21:59:26' ) AND ( publish_down = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' OR publish_down >= '2012-01-23 21:59:26' ) AND catid IN ( home ) ORDER BY ordering"

Is this a conflict with the installed site template?  I can publish it to multiple positions without getting this error, it is only when I change the category. What is this error telling me?

I tried uploading slides into a category that I created called "1" and while I don't get the 500 error, the slides do not publish.

Any ideas?

Please install Admin Tools from www.akeebabackup.com/ in order to fix your permissions as they should be and then reinstall the extension.

In addition make sure that your PHP version is at least 5.3.
