I cannot get slideshow creator to read a directory of images. Here is my code:

[slideshow: 2, rotate=2, blend=1, dir=|sites/default/files/webfm/slideshow|yes|||||]

I get nothing except a gray square.

DIR is extremely odd. It seems to point naturally at sites/default/files -- have you tried eliminating that part?

I'm having a different problem, which is how to get OUT of the files directory? I want it pointed at my images folder -- images/ -- but it won't point there.

Can someone assist on how DIR operates? How to get it to a different relative path? Where does it think it's pointing at?

It points to the file location that is set default for your site. Normally that is sites/default/files, but you can change that in the site config.

My pictures are in sites/default/files/slideshow, and I had to specify a slash before and after the directory name, like:
[slideshow: 2, rotate=2, blend=1, dir=|/slideshow/|yes|||||]
otherwise no pictures showed up.
