The plugin kept telling me that my image path was wrong, but I had already verified it to be correct. After a couple hours of looking at code, I found the issue I was having:

DIR = /plugins/content/smoothgallery/
FILE = content_smoothgallery.php
CODE = Line 232

I changed:

if (!file_exists(JPATH_SITE.$path)) {

to

if (!file_exists(JPATH_SITE ."\\". $path)) {

--and that solved the issues completely. It works like a charm now.

Thanks!

It's a frustrating installation with a bunch of manual steps and additional installs, but the functionality that comes with it is pretty neat.

What a godsend. There are no klunky interfaces ruining my mood or interrupting my thought process while trying to get my message out there.

The support and dedication of the people behind this extention is phenominal. I had the blank feed error and with a little work, it's working A1.

This is the best feed creator I've had since my journey into Joomla CMS.. and I've researched and tried all the mainstream ones.

I thought it was fantastic to find this, simple to adapt to my main content body and away it went.

Thanks!
