Changing homepage slider with same style

Hopefully it's ok to post this here rather than the image show module section.

I'm interested in using the slider on this template with the same look as it comes with in the quickstart package but for one tab just have it function as a normal featured news slider. What I mean is, just have a picture with the title/intro text and have it move to the next article and so on, essentially eliminating the text and scroll on the left or right hand side showing all the articles.

Is this something this module can be used for or should I be looking for a different content slider for the front page?

Can you do a screenshot on how you want this so I can check if its possible.

See you around...

Just a basic slider like this



But I'd like to keep the text as it is on the Game Magazine version of the module.

I pretty much just want to get rid of the list of articles on the side that you can scroll through, and give people an option to scroll as seen in the image.

I was changing a few things and noticed the different design layouts on the module for different Joomla templates that might be something worth looking at but it looks like they're all functioning different.

Have to double post because I can't edit the above reply...

I like the way the text is shown already on the module like this:


I'm trying to have just that as my news slider module but wider...with maybe some controls for the user.

Look at this picture for a better understanding.

You can do this with css code.

Code: Select all

/* Hide the List Slider on right */
.gkIsWrapper-gk_game_magazine .gkIsList { display:none!important;}

/* Use full width for image wrapper */
.gkIsWrapper-gk_game_magazine .gkIsImage { width: 946px!important;}


Then in module settings > interface set image size to full width such as 946px.

Regarding controls that would require customization to style files.

You can have it like this if you want, let me know I'll send the file.

That would actually be nice to have. I've been trying to mess with another slider module and it's cool but it doesn't show K2 articles.

It's a tough choice because on one hand, just having the ability to pop a K2 article in there is nice. But on the other, having a custom slide that you can put your own text into is nice as well. Rather than just intro text from the article, but a catchy line describing the article.

But yeah if you don't mind I'll try that one out!

Thanks again.

I have just seen the image you put in your website as an example, if that is how you wanted it then let me know and I ll do it that way.

Are you talking about what's on my website right now? Using the DJ image slider module with the 2 slides (one being Chrome image)? If that's what you mean then yeah that would be fantastic. If it could be setup like that OR have the link and description text the same as it is in the image you provided and just add controls on the side. Either way!

I do like the way the title/description text is setup by default, in that box with the > in the circle for to click on. Adding controls to that setup would be great.

Here you are, hope you like it.

1. Download attached zip.
2. Extract it and move the folder "gk_game_magazine_nr1" to modules style folder such as below.

Code: Select all

/modules/mod_image_show_gk4/styles/gk_game_magazine_nr1/


3. Select "gk_game_magazine_nr1" in module style settings. ( Settings > Basic > Module Style )
4. Interface width: 946px
5. Image width: 946px height:365px
6. Animation Type: Opacity
7. Text Animation: Bottom
8. This is a seperate style so you can use it together with original style.
9. Enjoy your new style.

See you around...
