Zen Tools Slideshow Jumping

bushie

Using the Aussie Joomla Bamboo template, I find on the front page that the slideshow is jumping when it changes slide. This in turn makes the text jump if someone is reading it without the slideshow being visible.

Hi,

Please make sure that you are using the latest version of Aussie template (1.3.5).

How can I open your joomla admin panel? Default your.domain.com/administrator URL doesn't work. (You can add URL to this thread fields, which are encrypted and visible for moderators only).

Cheers

Hi Joshua,

I am pretty sure I am using 1.3.5 as I only downloaded it when starting this site. I have provided the full admin URL in the private area above.

Cheers,

Ric

bushie Try add this to custom.css file

.zen-row .moduletable .backstretch img{top: 0px !important;overflow:visible;}

Kindly ensure to clear your browser cache if changes dont relect

Checking the site I can see two things I'd try to test

Try with a smaller font - the content is being pulled via introtext so I'm a bit reluctant to change your content without asking first
I'd remove the p tags - some have 2x and some just 1x - I'm not 100% sure why they are added

Great name for a dog = Boof 🙂

Hi Paul,

I presume you mean the font size in the slideshow articles? I have reduced these to <h3> and removed the <p> tags. Not sure why they were there either. Slideshow is still jumping and after the jump it partially obscures the Home Page title (which I must change).

As for Boof, he was a rescue dog from the RSPCA. He is a pure bred Blue Heeler and microchipped with his name so we couldn't change it to something more sensible... ;-)

Cheers,

Hi Ric,

Try to add the following custom css code:

#bannerwrap .zen-container {
	overflow: hidden;
}

Cheers

odd one - if you test with the title removed just remove the jump?

I love the name Boof 🙂

Josh, the CSS you suggested didn't work. It seemed to make the text in the article jump again.

Paul, I removed all the text in the articles, (which is obviously not a final option as the images need a description), but it is still jumping and the text has moved up and being obscured by the images. I note you have put a version of the slideshow in place.

Perhaps it's better I don't touch the site if you blokes are having a fiddle. It will just get itself confused. ;-)

Hi Ric,

I've turned off text completely in my zentools2 module version
This has removed the jump - do you see the same?

I'm trying to narrow down the styling problem

Cheers
Paul

bushie

Yes Paul. I am seeing the same. The jump has gone.

So if text is turned off the question becomes how to describe the images? Bit of an odd one but I think you have found the culprit.

Cheers,

Hi Ric,

Turn it back on and we can see if there is a handy solution for it

I don't think people have used the slideshow full height with text before

Ping us back when re-enabled

Cheers

Hi Paul,

I've re-enabled text but made it full text instead of intro. Yes, the jump is back. I haven't added any text to the articles though at this stage. It has also shifted the article content and sidebar2 text up into the image. Certainly looks like the text inclusion is the cause of the problem.

Cheers,

Hi,

Could you share the FTP account also? and disable the cache settings on your server side as I made some changes but it did not reflect on frontend.

bushie

Hi guys,

FTP details have been supplied above. The site is on Cloudflare CDN and I have put it into development mode which will expire in three hours. Let me know if I need to do it again.

Cheers,

Ric

Hi Ric,

Due to different time zones this will have expired - can you disable it for a longer period?

Thanks
Paul

bushie

Hi Paul,

I have paused the website on Cloudflare rather than put it into development mode. It will continue to resolve the DNS but will not cache the site.

Cheers,

Ric

You may need to use http://www.bushsong.com.au/ instead of https as Cloudflare handles the page rules to add the security layer Paul.
