i am using the ja_slideshow module and can’t seem to get it right, photos work, effects work, but i can’t get descriptions to show up.

Here is how I have it in the module parameters
start status=play
show description=yes

description parameters: (just pasting the first 2)

annas_donkey.jpg:caption=RHPCer, Anna Swanson, demonstrates just how versatile a pony clubbers equine skills can be.
IMG_0363.jpg:caption=Quiz rally participants receiving their well deserved recognition at the 2008 RHPC annual meeting and picnic! From left to right: Caroline Atkinson, Katie Merin, Tori Hain, Julia Lynch, Cailyn Ryan, Drew Wicas and Kevin Staples.

Is this incorrect? I noticed some forum messages showed the parameters with [ ] around them?

I looked in the userguide and thought I was following what it said, but maybe I am missing something simple.

The site is http://www.radnorhuntpc.org/dev/index.php and it looks like when I view source it is putting in some type of description

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>

Please let me know if anyone has any idea what I’m doing wrong. Thanks,

Can anyone help? Perhaps send me a screenshot of a working ja_slideshow with descriptions parameter?

Thanks,
Cheryl

Ok I think I figured this out. Along with installing the module, you have to have the ja_slideshow CSS in the template.css you are using, as the description area is set in the css. So now I have descriptions. Whew!
