Hi,
I needed to embed the Phoca gallery within a joomla module. So I resolved this problem and though of sharing it with others who might be interested.
1 - I installed the latest version of the phoca slide show plugin.
2 - I installed the custom code module (http://www.fijiwebdesign.com or http://www.joomlaspan.com).
3 - I created a new module based on the custom code module. (This is because I have more than one usage for it). To do this go to: Extensions->Module Manager -> new, then select Custom Code -> NExt , Add title and position and any other specific things you require.
4 - Paste the following code into the Custom code script section (module parameters) and parse php is set to yes:
(Please edit the 3rd line to your specific requirements)
Published my module to where I wanted it and magic I get the banner slide show.
I hope you will find this helpfull and maybe this could be added to the FAQ or docs.
Thanks
Charbel.

. Jan develops the Phoca extensions, and I answer some user questions, moderate the forum board and edit/add documentation. So we have to wait for Jan.
