IMage Show

HI there,

I am wanting to be able to customise each slides title and and text individually. I noticed in there is a wiki doc in your doc site which can set up to add html for each slide but it only has information on how to do that for Creativity template. The View.php does not have the lines of code for you to change to be able to do that modification.

I also have another issue with Image Show GK4. I have the quality setting all of the way up to 100% and my images also saved at max quality but the quality is not the very best either. It manages to pixellate my images where I have lines. This is why I am wanting to CSS each slide individually so I can not have to worry about this and do the text and boxes by CSS instead.

I also wanted to use Boutique for Shop & Buy for image show but doesnt seem to display right, nor does any other templates except the Shop & Buy one. Perhaps I need to do something.

Thanks.

Hi

For start please enable default css file in module settings. This I believe is the problem with a wrong display.

Modification to Boutique's style of view.php file would be to replace line 49:

Code: Select all

<div class="gkIsSlide" style="z-index: <?php echo $i+1; ?>;" title="<?php echo $title; ?>"><?php echo $path; ?><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>">link</a></div>


wit this code:

Code: Select all

<div class="gkIsSlide gkIsSlide<?php echo $i; ?>" style="z-index: <?php echo $i+1; ?>;" title="<?php echo $title; ?>"><?php echo $path; ?><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>">link</a></div>


OK thanks. That seemed to of made the slides come up but its way out of whack I assume due to the CSS styling they are using. So its not so easy to style since the differences are quite large.

What I need to do though, if you can help me, is to be able to enable HTML on each slide. There is a hack in the Documentation of image show for GK-Creativity only but I need to know how to do it with view.php for Shiop & Buy image show template.

I need html as I need to change the location for each slide and different look for captions etc.

Thanks.

Hi

Sorry I did not understand. Did my change to the code broke it ? This should just add a new css class to slide and makes it easy to style the content. Unfortunatelly I'm not sure what You mean by HTML code for slides.

I think You should send me an access to joomla panel and ftp, so I'll try with this changes myself.

I will double check tomorrow when back at that PC. I am not sure if the edit did anything, I edited /modules/mod_image_show_gk4/styles/gk_boutique/view.php

Sorry what I was meaning was, there was a part in the IMage show documentation to be able to edit the view.php for the Creativity style module and what the edit did was enable it to be able to use HTML codes in it like H1, P tags/classes etc. However the Shop & Buy style does not have the part of code to be able to replace it with the edit of view.php.

The reason I want to do this is so I can have a customised caption/title for each slide. It is very important that I can do this as each slide will look quite different. Doing the artwork in Photoshop makes the pictures pixelated with the artwork that needs to go in there as there is a lot of lines and text. So doing it by CSS will be much more clearer, especially with a Web font.

Already I had to get rid of the border for the header in Shop & Buy, as this was making the images pixelated in some parts due to the resizing. So removing the borders would allow the image to be at its correct size without it resizing the image which is what the problem was. So I had to manually add the white borders to the images in photoshop instead, which is ok.

As for login I am going to put it live online soon. I was trying to get a lot of CSS styling done in a local server before doing so which has taken a lot longer than I anticipated. I will upload a version however tomorrow.

Thanks.

Hi

Ok. So I did understood correctly Ok send me this ftp acces and I'll figure out the way to make slide use different CSS classes so custom look will be possible.
