Black Bear 3 Column 1.5 Header image Mod Problem 3 Years, 10 Months ago

Karma: 0

Hey there, love you templates

I just migrated to joomla 1.5 and have just begun re-installing everything, I'm using the Black bear 3 column 1.5 template and would like to use the header image mod with the rotating images, I figured it would need to be in the position called "Top" since that is the closest position to the last template or is there a better position? I've set it for that position and took out the newsflash thing. I set the images to a width of 900 and a height of 200, but still nothing shows up on the template. Nothing seems to work. Will the header image module even work with the 3 column template?

I've also just installed and tried out the blackbear 1.5 2 column and the page didn't load properly at all, totally weird.

Any advice would help alot.

Thank you very much

ps would the header image module work on the transparent bear as well? if so what position? size etc?

I have the same issue. I'm using "Simple Image Rotator" extension. It rotates well in USER 9 at the bottom, but not in the TOP position. When I preview it I see it there but accessing it normal through IE, nothing.

Can I get links to your sites? I'll take a look. With Joomla 1.5 I probably would not use mod header image as we have done in some of our Joomla 1 demos - Simple Image Rotator should be good and I think I have used it on a 1.5 site if I remember correctly... On patternbear I'm using mod_briaskISS which you can grab from here. I was very impressed with this 1.5 slideshow module.

Big Bear, Thanks for the reply. Im using Simple Image Rotator. I placed it in the "TOP" with images I had tried in Black Bear 2 coloumn. The images are 853 X 221 px. I've disabled it for now but can put it back if need be. http://www.lubbockcameraclub.com/ Thanks again, Todd

ok....

I found the problem :blush:

Bug in my code... Find the below:

Code:

&lt;div id=&quot;innerContainer&quot;&gt;

&lt;?php if($this-&gt;countModules('user2')) : ?
&gt;

&lt;div id=&quot;FlashHeadpiece&quot;&gt;

&lt;jdoc:include type=&quot;modules&quot;
 name=&quot;top&quot; /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

Note I am usig conditional php to only load the FlashHeadpiece div if user2 is published but further down we see that it is actually "top" that is the published module position...

My bad.

The correct code should be to check that the same module is publised and then render that module position.

like so:

Code:

&lt;div id=&quot;innerContainer&quot;&gt;

&lt;?php if($this-&gt;countModules('top')) : ?&gt;


&lt;div id=&quot;FlashHeadpiece&quot;&gt;

&lt;jdoc:include type=&quot;modules&quot;
 name=&quot;top&quot; /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

If you are really lazy you could publish something in user2 and have your slideshow top and it will work...

I'll fix this in the next release which is gonna be a super cool blackbear with dynamic collapsible columns and other kewl stuff. I'm workin on it here

PS the preview has some javascript im trying out that is not workin well in IE but looks good in firefox<br><br>Post edited by: Big Bear, at: 2008/07/18 18:38

Color me happy. Updated the code and BAM! we're rotating. I just need to go back and re-crop my images and let her rip. Thanks so much for the support. I look forward to your new release. The members of our club are impressed with the site. Thanks again, Todd

Hey no problem :) Let us know when you launch. Oh! and there is a link built into that slideshow module that goes back to the developer which is nice but maybe want to set it to a page on your site. Looking good!<br><br>Post edited by: Big Bear, at: 2008/07/18 20:59

Okay, site is working grest. Images are 965 px wide. Height is optional and can be set in the Simple Image Rotator module. (mine are 200px) There is about 5px upper and lower padding, Images are always left justified and I do not know if that can be changed anywhere. It's only an issue if you use images less than 965 pixels. I fixed the link and tool tip. Keep up the good work!

If you want images centred (when smaller than your width) you could try adding the below to the <div> that holds the slideshow:

Code:



text-align:center;

Actually I've just had another look at your site.

It might look better with padding bottom and top removed, try replacing all the #FlashHeadpiece with this:

#FlashHeadpiece {
text-align:center;
background-color:#222222;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-right-style: solid;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-left-style: solid;
border-top-color: #CCCCCC;
border-right-color: #CCCCCC;
border-bottom-color: #333333;
border-left-color: #CCCCCC;
border-top-width: 0px;
border-right-width: 0px;
border-left-width: 0px;

}

Additionally you are getting some styling from the slideshow component you are using - the css for this is located here on your site:
modules/mod_jw_sir/mod_jw_sir/mod_jw_sir.css

You might have some luck with image centering if you open the above css style sheet and ad a rule for ul#jw-sir

If there is already a rule ad text-align:center; to it, otherwise create one:

ul#jw-sir {
text-align:center;
}

Let me know if that works
