Joomla 3.x Troubleshooter. Slider does not work after update to Joomla 3.3.4+

Usually Firebug console shows error like "NetworkError: 404 Not Found" and path to image with language code if issue is caused by Joomla engine update:

1. Go to Extensions -> Module manager.
   Check which module is being used for slider. In our case this is Image swoop module:

   

2. Go to modules folder of Joomla (you can do that using hosting file manager or ftp client), open folder with appropriate module. In our case this is mod_image_swoop folder. Your template may use Camera slideshow module. You will need to perform changes in mod_camera_slideshow folder in such case:

   

3. Now we should perform changes in
   modules/mod_image_swoop/tmpl/_item.php file. In templates with Camera Slideshow changes should be performed in
   modules/mod_camera_slideshow/tmpl/_item.php file:

   

4. Download the file and open it in editor. Please find attribute data-src. It is located on line 22 (approximately). Replace original data-src attribute with the following one:

   data-src="<?php echo JURI::base().htmlspecialchars($images->image_fulltext); ?>"

5. Modified code should look like on the screenshot below. Save changed and upload the modified file to server (back up the original file before replacing):

   

6. Please note that some templates may have overrides for mod_image_swoop and mod_camera_slideshow modules. In this case you will need to perform changes in \templates\themeXXXX\html\mod_image_swoop\tmpl\_item.php or in \templates\themeXXXX\htmlmod_camera_slideshow\tmpl\_item.php files, where XXXX are actual theme numbers.

7. Clear browser cache and refresh the page.
   Slider shows up fine now:
