New site http://boatnames.cc/  with MSSQL db hosted at ihostasp.net

Site existed but I wiped pages, code, data and config out and put up mojoportal in wwwroot online to re-create the site which had little content.  But the one important thing was the homepage slideshow.  I'd created it (in vb.net) with Ajax slideshowextender, with a web service, populating slides from the database.  Worked fine.

Spent all night trying to get a slideshow on the MojoPortal home page. Registered a silverlight key, re-upped all the images to be in the gallery folders mojo wants to control.  Could see an image gallery but choosing slideshow always failed, with or without silverlight.  All I got was a black window, never even a first image.  Gallery view is not acceptable for this site, MUST be a slideshow.  Cannot find any instructions for anything more that must be done, other than uploading images and choosing settings.  No go.

Changed my preexisting work to c#.  Tried to put the homepage image div and ajax slideshowextender in a center content module.  Put the web service in App_Code and called it as a code behind from a file in the root, referenced as the service url in the slideshow extender.  OK, you all already know that did not work.  But I tried so many ways.  I went to advanced admin and created the slideshow as a new module, and tried that, but didn't get the show to run.

Then found instructions online for adding inline scripts, http://www.mojoportal.com/usinginlinecode.aspx.  Could not get the first option to work.  So I put all the slideshow, class and service, into one page, default3.aspx, and following instructions, set home.aspx to the url default3.aspx

That worked for the slideshow, finally.  But the content in default3 left and right panels did not display.  Fair enough, the instructions indicate custom content in the center panel only.  But how to get more on the new homepage?  Tried App_MasterPages  layout.master but that did not work.  Finally used the contentplaceholders in the SKIN's layout.master, and that worked.  Since my homepage content is inside the contentplaceholder tags, it SHOULD be overwritten by any other content put on new pages (since content within placeholders is just default content if no other is called - at least, in normal asp.net).

So, wonderful, I have my homepage with all the content required.  Now to add other pages to the site. 

And HERE'S THE PROBLEM.  That default3.aspx content shows on every page and I cannot access edit content links when any page is viewed.  I can get through the content manager and put content in the modules but when the page is viewed, the slideshow is there (as well as the side content, even in the pages where I specified other side panel content).  And the other content modules I create do NOT show and have no EDIT links.

I have searched the db through sql mgmt studio express.  Cannot find the content itself, do find guids.  Finally deleted default3.aspx and used the javascript redirect option as an html module in home.aspx.  To get rid of anything cached (so I hoped) made the slideshow page be boatshow.aspx and put that in the js redirect.

BUT ALL THE PAGES REMAIN THE SAME HOMEPAGE CONTENT and I cannot find how to get rid of the slideshow.

Can anyone help me get a homepage with a slideshow  (it does work, but the "easy" ready-made options do not)  and still be able to have more pages with different content on every page?
