  7. sir i got this error on my joomla 2.5 Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_strlen() in /home/ceuhrd/public_html/modules/mod_rsflashmatic/helper.php on line 15

    • You need to install “PHP MBSTRING” module in your server. This is a very common module and in most of the server it is enabled by default. But unfortunately in your server it is not enabled. So please enable it from your server’s control panel, or please ask your hosting service provider to do the needful.

    • Hi Sameer,

      Just review your website in IE9, Firefox7 and Google Chrome. But it looks same in all browsers here. Can you please recheck your website in Firefox once by clearing the browser cache first?

      Thanks,

    • Hi,

      Please try the following:

      1. Login to your server using FTP.
      2. Then go to “/JoomlaRoot/modules/mod_rsflashmatic/”. Here you can see one folder called “xml”. Change the permission of this folder to “755”.
      3. Then go here: “/JoomlaRoot/modules/mod_rsflashmatic/xml/”. Here you can find one file called “rsflashmatic_55.xml”. Delete this file.

      Then test your website again.

      Thanks,

  18. Hi,

    First I want to excuse me for my bad english, I’m french and I don’t speak english very well.

    I want to know how I can put a rs-flashmatic in an article, like in the demo page.

    Thanks for your response

  19. Dear Souvik,

    First of all the module is perfect congatulations for the good work!!!

    Now i have some problems on trying to fit in on my site

    1. still playing on localhost and the template 1.5 is the JM-Experts Mica.
    2. i m trying to replace the header image of this template with the RS-FlashMatic, is this possible ??
    3. on the Module Class Suffix do i have to create a new module in the template.css?? because i want to put it on the #header !!

    i m a bit confused and i want really bad to get it work cause its awesome module!!
    I hope all these questions are not too much!

    thank you in advance

    • The main concept is, you can place this module in any module position that is available in you template. Just assign the proper “position” by editing the module. Using module class suffix you can assign one new css class to this module. Then you can use that class to add some css code in your template.css file. But for this you have to know CSS well.

      • Thank you for your reply it was very helpfull, this problem solved!!

        But now i have 2 new problems!!

        1. is it possible to have width 100% and no in px ??? i mean so you can able to see the flash in all the width of the screen..

        2. i m trying to write in the captions of the images as well as the read more button in the advance configuration in greek characters but nothing is showing in the preview.. i even tried to change the encoding of the files *.php, *xml, *.js of the module in utf-8 cause it was western europe and still nothing is showing…is it possible to write in greek characters??

        Once again thank you in advance for the help!

        • Once again thank you for your quick reply, i was wondering concerning the percentage if you are plannning in the future to have an update for this issue, i m sorry for my question but its a really big issue for me…

      • Oh, I’ve just moved my website to khoinp.oni.cc

        Thanks a lot.

        • Try the following:

          1. Login to your server using FTP.
          2. Then go to “/modules/mod_rsflashmatic/”.
          3. Here you can find one folder called “xml”. Change the permission of this folder to 755. (If not work then try 777).
          4. Then go to “/modules/mod_rsflashmatic/xml/”. Here you can find some *.xml files. Delete all those xml files.
          5. Then try to reload your website.

          Thanks,
          Souvik

          • Thank Souvik.
            I tried, but it still not work, just display a white box with a waiting circle in center.
            There were what I did:
            – change mod_rsflashmatic to 755 (apply to subfolders and files also) then clean *.xml files
            – Check the result then tried again with 777 permisson.

            Do have any ideas else ?
            Thanks you.

            • Hi,

              There is a permission related issue. In time of loading the module it is not able to generate the xml files from module setting. You need to test more combination of folder permissions. If you need assistance on that you can email our support team at support[@]rswebsols[.]com

              Thanks,
              Souvik

  23. As per Joomla default server settings you need to set “display_errors” to “Off” in your php.ini. Please edit your php.ini file and set “display_errors” to “Off”.

    If you are a WAMP user then click on the WAMP icon in the desktop taskber, then go to PHP –> PHP Settings, then uncheck the “display errors”.

  24. Good afternoon. Yesterday decided to try your module. All great and wonderful. But there was a small problem. Does not show Russian text (either in the headers of any description), but with English text, everything works fine. Where and what can be fixed to work properly with the Russian text?

  25. Hi,

    I’m trying to use the module but my images just wont show. Comes out white on my page. The path to the images is correct so I don’t know what the problem could be.

    • Hi Gracee,

      I think the image path is wrong. If you are using BASIC image configuration then please check the folder path is may be missing the trailing slash (/). The correct path should be like this: “images/stories/slideshow/”.

      Otherwise we have a forum. You can post your problem there and we will surely help you to solve the problem.

      Thanks,
      Souvik

    • Hi Manhard,

      Just review the download section and it is working properly. This may be a temporary problem you faced. Can you please try to download it once again?

      By the way, you need to register/login first to download the file.

      Thanks,
      Souvik

  29. Hi,

    how can I change position of The caption box? The caption box is by default on the right top corner, but I would need to have this box on the left bottom corner. Where can I change this option? Thank You.

      • Sorry, you don’t understand what I mean. If I change padding, I’m changing just the contain of the caption box and its size, but I’m not able to change the position of whole caption box and keep the same size of it. I don’t want to change the size, I just want to change the position of whole caption box from the right top corner to the left botom corner. I hope you understand now. I’m sorry I did replay to here.

  35. Dear reader,

    i can’t login on to your site.
    i am not getting the confermation e-mail that you supposed sent to my e-mailaddress.

    HELP

    This module seems nice

    • Hi,

      Please let me know your username and email address. I will activate your account and send you the password.

  37. FlashMatic has a very nice transition effect which enhances the look of your site, but I cannot get it to utilize the full size of its box to show the pictures. So, I have a huge white area around the actual slideshow, which is in the upper left corner.

    Any ideas on how to fix this

    • Hi,

      Please try to use images that are equal or greater than the dimension of module. Equal size images will give you the best result. However the bigger image will also work properly. But if you use any smaller images, the slideshow may show some white-spaces. Here is an example:

      —————–
      Say you set the module dimension (width and height) to 600 and 300. Then the width of your images should be greater than or equal to 600, and similarly the height of your images should be greater than or equal to 300. If you use exactly 600×300 images, you will get the best output. But please do not use any smaller image.
      —————–

      Warm Regards,
      Souvik
