Frontpage slideshow (Joomla) issue

Question

I installed frontpage slideshow on my joomla site. I made a category, containing 2 slides.

But the page loads the slides under each other instead of the slide effect.

URL: http://sea-and-wetest.netserver11.net/

Does somebody know what's going wrong?

Answer 1

That's because you have 2 versions of jQuery running on your site, therefore they are conflicting. Both are being includes externally from googleapis.

For your slider, find out which file contains the jquery embed code and replace with the following:

// load jQuery, if not loaded before
if(!JFactory::getApplication()->get('jquery')){
    JFactory::getApplication()->set('jquery',true);
    $document =& JFactory::getDocument();
    $document->addScript(JURI::root() . "path/to/jquery/jquery-1.8.2.js");
}

This will ensure that only 1 copy of jquery is included. Make sure you change the path.
