Jim, thank you so much for your patience. This is what I was missing - the fact that the images are tied into a banner function. I was thinking in terms of product images rather than a banner display. I'm not used to OSC. I mostly use Joomla or Magento, so doh - new lesson learned. There'll be no holding me back now - many thanks!

Hi Jim - OK, it may be an OSC terminology issue for me then. Can you explain how I set up a Group? And actually what a Group is? Apparently putting the two supplied images in a folder called 'faders' which is inside the banners folder, which is inside the images folder, and putting 'faders' in the front end module in the field called 'Banner Rotator Group', is not the right thing to do?

If by 'Group" you mean directory, or file - then yes. As per my sentence "I have the two image files that are packaged with the banner rotator as follows: catalog/images/banners/fader/test_banner_1.png and test_banner_2.png. I had them in a directory called rotator as recommended in your user's manual, but this wasn't working, so I changed the name as a check. I then changed the name in the module edit area in the front end as well of course."

I just ran the mac disk utility in case there were some issues, then restarted, and then restarted Mamp - just in case. Still nothing showing. It seems I can't see the page source in mamp - not sure why. Using Firebug nothing but the empty content container div shows. I can see no error information at all.

It's a mystery. (I hate mystery's).

OK thanks, will check out my MAMP docs. In the meantime I've changed the application_top.php as you've shown. I don't see any errors recorded anywhere in either the front or back end. Where would I expect to see these? I've cleared my browser cache but this makes no difference.

I've assumed that javascript would be required for the Scroller, which works fine. Is this not the case?
