I've set up the module using f_upload, which was relatively painless to do. The slideshow creation seems to work great, but after configuring it do use thumbnails for the navigation, I don't see any thumbs - just little white boxes where the thumbnail previews should be.

The ssp imagecache preset is there (set to 100x100 pixels). Any ideas?

Here's what my image xml looks like for my simple test. If I access the imagecache urls directly, I see the thumbnail image just fine. It's only in SSP where I get a white box instead of a thumbnail

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     <gallery>
     <album id="ssp" title="Gallery Test" description=""  tn="sites/default/files/imagecache/ssp_thumbnail/slideshow/images/coast_7.jpg" >
     <img src="/sites/default/files/slideshow/images/coast_7.jpg" title="" caption="" link="" target="_blank" pause="" tn="sites/default/files/imagecache/ssp_thumbnail/slideshow/images/coast_7.jpg" vidpreview="" />
     <img src="/sites/default/files/slideshow/images/turtle_7.jpg" title="" caption="" link="" target="_blank" pause="" tn="sites/default/files/imagecache/ssp_thumbnail/slideshow/images/turtle_7.jpg" vidpreview="" />

Subscribing...I am having the same issue.

I had the same issue, turns out imagecache wasn't storing the image in the right folder, fixed that by deleting the .htaccess file in the files directory and then recreating it by going to the file system admin settings (automatically creates it for you).

Which was just the first part.

Next I looked at the image xml and saw that the thumbnail images didn't have the complete path, since I have drupal installed in a folder off root it wasn't including that folder. I modified the ssp_imagecache_generate function in ssp.module, appending the folder name before it returned and that fixed it.

I might have to change it back once I go live with the site, but that worked for me.

So check the image xml and make sure your thumbs are going to the right place, and the files really exist.

Thanks dawiyhd. This is probably a very dumb question, but where are you finding the generated xml file? I've looked everywhere for it.

Nevermind, found it, and made the changes you suggested. Works great! Thanks dawiyhd!

You can just put the .swf file in the root directory and configure it to /slideshowpro.swf

This was the easiest fix for me after experiencing this issue. Placing the swf in any folders below the root did not show thumbnails, despite my efforts to modify the ssp_imagecache_generate function to match.

Thanks adamsohn.
