    Knew you’d come back to me on that one! 😉

    I seem to remember that a good while back you had some problems with slideshow appearing all over the place with JoomShopping. I think and looking at your css I may be right, that you changed the code in the layouts and deleted the slideshow part.

    So a couple of questions Jim.

    In profiles what is the default layout used? Is it default or another? What is layout used for myfrontpage?

    whichever it is that is being used can you post the code here? then we can see if you need to add slideshow back in – ‘cos I’m pretty sure this is what is causing this for you. Of course I could be completely wrong!! 😀

    Hi Swissa thanks for your help. They are both set as default. Where do I get the code to send you?

    No problems Jim. Happy to help.

    Template Manager / Profiles and then click on edit default.

    This is mine (tiris) so you can compare – if you do not have this line <block name=”slideshow” main-inner=”2″>slideshow,sidenews</block> you can just put it in where mine is!

    <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
    <layout name=”desktop”>
    <!–Extra css load for this layout–>
    <stylesheets>
    </stylesheets>
    <blocks name=”top” style=”xhtml”>
    <block name=”absolute” type=”modules” style=”raw”>absolute</block>

    Sorry meant themes. So i changed the Layout name slideshow and now we have this http://www.myjakartaconcierge.com so maybe i have to play with the settings as this is not the settings I put and not sure where the red colour and buttons came from 🙂

    Mate, thanks for all the help. It is nearly perfect now except I need to get rid of the white space at the bottom and work out how to center the image as it is aligned to the left?

    Oh no the same thing is happening again. When I click on the hotels button and then click on five star hotels I get the slideshow showing up again aghhhhhhhhhh.

    Well done, and the best thing is that YOU did it!! 🙂

    I don’t see your problem on the hotels page BUT now you know how to make a layout. So you can clone the one have, and call it e.g. sitedefault and delete the slideshow part in it. Use this layout for the page assignments ALL and use the current one ONLY on the front page. Easy eh?! 😉

    The white space , is i think the navhelper so again just on the layout for front page you can take it out if you want. T3 is so flexible this way.

    For centering the pictures, your site is set at 1000px by the looks of it so why not just increase the picture size to 1000px? Set that size in slideshow and good to go.

    If you don’t want to do that then you’ll need to edit the css file for the slideshow @ line 148

    http://www.myjakartaconcierge.com/modules/mod_jaslideshow/assets/themes/default/style.css

    #ja-slideshow .ja-slidewrap {

    • margin: 0 15px;
    • padding: 0;
    • position: relative;

    }

    Well done again, Jim.

    Bestens

    Hi Swissa,

    I think I did everything you said but I am confused as in the page assignments there is still All Pages with a Default setting.

    I created a new clone called site default2 and then created a new layout called defaultslideshowand assigned that to the sitedefault2 and then went on assigned all the pages apart from home to it. But still has teh same issue. when you go to the hotels page and click on five star hotels the slideshow turns up.

    I have sent you a direct message with the login. If you have some time later could you look at my settings and confirm I have followed what you recommended correctly.

    Jim

    Hi JIm,

    I have PM switched off and if you do it, even if it is following my guide, you learn and that’s good! 🙂

    So let’s make sure we both know where we are.

    In Template Manager, Layouts, what do you have? We’ll make sure the layouts (not themes) are right first and then we’ll go and do the Profiles. 10 mins work is all!

    🙂

    Ok sounds good.

    # Layout name Action
    1 Default EditCloneReset to default
    2 slideshow EditCloneRenameDelete
    3 handheld EditClone
    4 iphone EditClone
    5 defaultslideshow EditCloneRenameDelete

    Great

    Let’s make sure then that we know what is what.

    Default has no slideshow part in it?
    Slideshow has the section to allow slideshow?

    If that is true edit slide show and remove this bit
    <block name=”navhelper” type=”navhelper” main-inner=”2″></block>
    that will remove the white.

    Save it
