Hey, I have an unknown error in my set up, meaning I have no idea of what step I took wrongly mostly because I am new to web design, so I will show you step by step what I did with pictures that will so if I have misunderstood and what that might be. I should start by saying I have idea what version I have but it is only a couple months old.

first I upload the 3 required modules.

next I created the new fliter
http://spiritarmageddon.com/file/step2.bmp>

I installed the madules

http://spiritarmageddon.com/file/step3.bmp

I tried my best to set a path.

http://spiritarmageddon.com/file/step4.bmp

and I tried to set the code, this I didn't understand very well. however note, even though you can't se it I do have it set to "gallery filter"

http://spiritarmageddon.com/file/step5.bmp

and this is what I got...

and yes to those astute individuals, I was listening to youtube amv's wile working on this.

It's because you try to use .bmp images. That format is not really common on web pages and many usual PHP tools cannot therefore handle it.

I recommend converting your .bmp images to .png or .jpg, then things will work.

Also, get the latest version of the module (4.0) - there are major improvements! :-)

thanks for the advice, but the images in my "PCgallery" are all .jpg, I only used bmp for the steps.

this topic has been up for a very long time, and it has possible the most detailed description of the problem, yet, it has the least attention, and very few comments from anyone but the creator, why is that?

To be able to guess the problem many more details may be necessary.

How does your [bg|... ] tag looks like precisely?

Are you on a Linux or Windows server?

What path have you set in the settings?

Have you done step #3 of the installation as described at http://www.vacilando.eu/bg ?

Also note the current version is 5.x-4.2 (this issue is marked as 5.x-3.0).
