Hello,
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution to this issue?
Thanks for your help in advance.
I want to display Random img gallery pp zoom in my web sidebar, but it doesn’t work. I can see the title of the random image but the images doesn’t appear…
The module looks very simple, but I have no idea what’s the problem..
My Joomla version – 2.5
I’ve checked this on Firefox and Chrome and the results was alike. On Firefox I saw only title, Chrome displays title of Random Image and strange (error icon) small thumbnail.
I also have this same problem. Makes it unusable. When I click on the X where there should be the image, it expands perfectly. But the small image in the web page is missing. Tried on three different browsers.
iam new to joomla. I followed the tutorial, everything was fine, but i get error message instead of image output.
