[SOLVED] Header Rotator not rotating completley

hello all,

I installed GK2 Photoslider and I'm using the VirtueMart Header Rotator II with the eshop template. I have it set to display 3 items, but when I add more than 3 items so that it rotates, it goes to the next three items but gets stuck. It does not return to the first 3 items.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Hi

Yes, you are right.
This happens when the Pagination is disable.
I will address this to our programmer.

Thank you for notice.

Cheers

Ok Like i said in previous post, this is a bug with pagination disable.
This will be fix in the next update of this template.

For now, i suggest that you fix temporally this problem by doing this:

Go to the module and enable pagination on top position.

Them, add this code to gk_stuff.css file:

Code: Select all

div.gk_vm_header_2_pagination {
display: none;
}


Cheers

I redownloaded the template last night, is this problem already fixed and updated, or do I still have to do the above?

Yes, it's already fixed

Hi
I began using the template couple of months ago, with lots of hacks...

So I can not do a fresh install..

Which files needed to be updated and changed for the effect to take place...

Should I apply the temporarly hack, to solve it..

Thanks.

Ok I am having the same issues with header not rotating.

My site: www.useduniformexchange.com
Joomla: 1.5.14

I used the quickstart initial install
I have reinstalled com.virtuemart and eshop template.

I imputed this code into css gk.stuff

div.gk_vm_header_2_pagination {
display: none;
}

I should would appreciate your help.

Thanks
Danita

To clarify I changed the code to:


gk_vm_header_2_pagination {
display: none;
}

I took the div off since the replaced code did not have div.

Both ways did not work.

Hey guys,

Can I get some thoughts here? I'm on a deadline. Thanks for any help you can offer. I saw another post about permissions. Can that still be an issue. If so where do I find those files. Is there an updated file I can upload or something.

I got to get going on this. Thanks!

I found the importer.php and style php files and they are both set on 644

Dita

Please try 755 or 777 for these files.

Thank you for getting back to me. Gosh still no solution. 755 made no change at all and 777 took the images out completely and left it with the link. Please see attachment.

Any other thoughts. I will keep it like this so you can see. www.useduniformexchange.com

I would realy like to use this component. What could I be doing wrong? Please anyone!

Dita

Hi

Please check permissions on this files:

Check permissions on file and directory (755 or 777)

../modules/mod_gk2_vm_header_2/scripts/importer.php
../modules/mod_gk2_vm_header_2/scripts/

../components/com_gk2_photoslide/images/
../components/com_gk2_photoslide/images/thumbs/
../components/com_gk2_photoslide/images/thumbm/

All images inside should have 644, but directories 755 or 777.

This problems comes from your host server on handling permissions files.

Cheers

Thank you very much for the feed back. I really appreciate it.

G'day,

Just a quick note to say that the GK2 module in eShop template has not been fixed in the quick start template (downloaded and installed Dec 2 09). I encountered the same problem (pages getting stuck) and managed to fix it by enabling pagination and installing the display:none hack.

FYI: after adding the suggested line of css set pagination to Absolute

Incidentally I have two instances of the module on the same page, perhaps there was an issue there. Regardless I managed to get it working and hope this helps someone else.

Improvement Suggestions:
1. I would LOVE to have randomized slides... when displaying products this really makes sense rather than viewers seeing the same display all the time.

2. It would be great to be able to link these to a virtuemart CATEGORY rather than just a product. A mix of both of these would make it so much nicer.

3. options on the fade transition? Most of your products have a huge amount of configurable options, but this one just does one thing.

Anyway, thanks for the template, all in all it's quite awesome!

BTW here is a link to the site (still being built) showing both modules working (only 1 is supposed to rotate) http://www.eyeshootsharks.com/index.php
