Hi there,
First i want to thank you for the best templates around THANK YOU !!!
Though i have a minor problem with the installation of mod_ds_banner_slide.
I get a lot of banner counts (in fact i have 4 picture only). Instead of pictures I most of them are empty with text or without text. It is some kind of error or notice.

Do you have any idea how to fix that ?

You must be probably don't have any pages designed, and this lesson doesn't include a part creating pages.but try, it will be easy for you
I'm having a lot of problems with this template on 1.7 version. Can you help me? most of this steps don't appear or apply.
Hi, I guess This template is compatible only with 1.5..
Joomla 2.5.1
Downloaded and installed mod_ds_bannerslider. When it came time to set parameters there is no place to select/enter them. Is something missing from this module. Usually there is a place for parameters on the right side whem in view module mode but in this case it is completely blank. Are there any new or more upto date instructions? Is the template still suitable for J2.5
i have a question about DS Banner Slider Setups (mod_ds_banner_slide): where i can upload images and chages the images in DS Banner Slider Setups??
The banner slider are associate with Joomla core banner component.
You can upload the image through joomla media manager.
Also the width and height for all banner should be the same.
