NSP GK5 in the GKgrid

Hello,

I use MSocial template and I woul like to make appear in one of the 1x1 grids (only) the images coming from the latest X K2 articles; they should be rotating showing only the images coming from the K2 articles so one should click on the image to get the relative K2 article.

I managed to insert in the 1x1 grid the NSP GK5 module, but I can't figure out how to configure it in a way that I can only get the image from K2 article.

I tried the following settings:
Standard mode
Frontpage image overlay
Portfolio
Portfolio II
Product gallery

But with none of them I could get what I want.

I followed the doc https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... portfolio2 it shows the very same demo of John template (https://www.gavick.com/documentation/wp ... 2_mode.jpg) but I could not get any image.

Thanks for your help

Hi

"Standard mode" should be enough. I think You have not selected which images has to be used. In "K2 Additional" section there is a a dropdown to select if image should be taken from K2 Image or from a content of article.

Hello, thanks for your reply

1) there is no selection in K2 setting from which to choose the image (see 02.png)

2) I used standard mode and the result is in image 04.png; as you can see regardless the thumbnail size setting, the stretch and whatever (see images 01.png), I cannot get a square image fitting in the grid.

3) It's frustrating trying to set a whatever GK module other than the ones coming from the template sample data. The tens of different settings make me crazy; the documentation is very very poor and it does not explain other than the same thing of module settings tooltips. No example of what you could get. Further there is no corrispondence between the basic settings and the documentation ones (there are many other modes you don't know what result can lead that you don't find in the documentation)

Hi

I agree that the big number of options makes it complicated, but it also allows to achieve lots of different looks and styles.

Please send me an access to joomla panel and tell me which module You wish to set there (an ID would be enough).

Thanks for you reply. As a matter of fact I'd rather learn how to do it by myself so I can use at their best the great modules you developed. Anyway I'll keep on trying.

Hi

Ok. In that case I will try to lead You, but some of the options I try first before achieving the desired look. So it would be much, much easier with access and than explaing what was done.

1. "Base image size" is where You select which image should be used. K2 creates couple of images on saving article, so selecting which image means to switch between them or to use an image from content.

2. For that I will have to see this on Your site. It may need some css adjustments as well.

Hello,

yes please I'd like you could help me to set a NSPGK5 in a position.

The NSP should do the following:

1) Get the news from Joomla category articles
2) rotate the last 3 news
3) the image should be taken from the article and should be eventually cropped to 620x361 in a way that it's not distorted (eventually the image could be darkened so that the text over it could be visibile)
4) there should appear the article title text over the image

I sent you a PM with all the users and stuff.

Thank you in advance
