Is there an S5 extension that allows for a slideshow in an article?  Kinda like Phatfusion?  Wanting to show 3-4 images about several different topics/articles throughout the site.

Hi, modules cannot be displayed inside of articles, they can only be displayed in moduel positions, only mambots can be displayed in articles but I do not know of any that do what you are looking for unfortunately.

I seem to have made this work.  Below is what I did, for better or worse:

Loadposition is a function in Joomla! 1.5 that allows you to insert modules inside content.  (Didn't know that previously)

When you are in the module configuration, i.e. S5 Image Fader, look to the drop-down menu for the positions.  I used to think that I was limited to only those positions in a template.  Now I have learned that while setting the parameters for a module your can just type inside the position box "slideshow". (Or any other label that makes sense to you) This seems to be a J!1.5 thing.

Once you have this module saved you many go to an article and just use this command {loadposition slideshow} in the place where you want to insert the module; where slideshow is the position you just entered in position box from the steps above.

If you want to create a different "slidehow" for a different place you need to:

~ Go to the module manager and create a new module by making a copy of the the original module and naming it (not sure if this will play well with all module authors)
~ In the newly created module you can enter a new position like slideshow2 (this module should be available for all menu assignment)
~ Go to the article item where you would like to insert the slideshow and enter {loadposition slideshow2}

Seems to work well at: www.dpc4u.org (http://www.dpc4u.org)

Will test over time as more complicated code may have issues with this usage.
