ANYONE!!!! can you tell me where I go to change the pics in the tabshow and how to do it?  In one of the tabs I want to put video in, do you have to use Utube, or a special plugin??

Also the rotating pics below I need to change.  How do I do that and where?  I see in the Article/Frontpage the link to the pic, but I don't think that is where I am suppose to be?Huh?

I spent 15hrs on this yesterday, "SERIOUSLY" it shouldn't be this hard.  Joomla has consumed my life  Embarrassed I am just not getting this.

Thank you for your support.

Okay, after many hours I figured out how to change the pics.  But I want to insert the video... How do I do that?

If you want to insert a video you can paste the video code into a custom html module you create (you can make one by clicking the new button in your site modules area of Joomla). 

Or if you look on Joomla.org extensions there are video modules out there that make it easier for you.  You would then assign one of these modules to one of the S5 tab show module positions.

Let me know if this doesn't make sense.

It sounds so simple,  but I am finding its not.  Not for a newbie anyway.  So where do I find the code for the video?  I understand the part of pasting it in the the module I create, and then do I have to disable the the wsiwg editor? and if so where do I do that in the global config? and where in that?

I found the video modules, I downloaded one on my desktop, I know I have to upload the files to the server in Joomla, do I create another folder or where do these files go to?  Not sure what you are saying about the "Video Modules"

Thank you for your patience,

For the video code, I'm not sure what it would be, it depends on where you get it.  Most places have a little button that says "embed" you can click on and this will give you the code.

In regards to the video module you download, just go into your Joomla administration area and go to extensions > install then just select the zip on your desktop or wherever and click the "upload file and install" button.

This is what I was talking about before:

This would be on your server somewhere in a folder that you point to.  But if you use some embed code from youtube or something then you won't have to store the file anywhere since it doesn't pull from your server.
