Hi,
I read this forum and you explain the solution for rotator in joomla 1.5
But i have joomla 1.6 and i would put rotator only on the first page.
But i can just desactivate rotator in the template administrator. ( I don't have any rotaor module in the gestion interface)
open your panacea template parameters and set the rotator to OFF and click SAVE.
then type a new name into the template name field on top left and then click SAVE AS COPY.
then set the rotator to ON and in the assignment tab assign this new copy to the home menu item.
then your rotator will be off for all pages, but on for only the home page.
