If you let slideshow use its own photos the site will look much much better. The pictures on slideshow will be the right size and you use ‘same’ pictures but with a different size for the articles and they will look correct.

You can link the pictures on the slideshow to articles so that if someone clicks on them they open the article. See this post…. http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/links-on-slider-images-using-masshead/#post-437343

What did you do to the thumbnails? If I reset the css changes mentioned above I still don’t see them so did you do something else?

thats a good idea but I think it will be to much work when I add every day new artciles and therefore also new slideshow images….but i will test your solution.

Normaly I want to use for the content the k2 component and still wait for a new ja slideshow with k2 content too….but now I will add first new articles to joomla and later I will copy from time to time all slideshow articles to k2 . . .

Regarding thumbnails : When I use in the future the image size 993 x 500 for the slideshow I need a thumbnail for the content…You cant see antything because this is my next topic where I need a solution too…

This will be a positive news mazagzin site …see : http://www.thesunshine.de ( old site ). I can only use screenshots because there is no cash to order news..its a non profit project….

If you have any further ideas….?

you’re warm welcome

Slideshow are generally only used for the front page so do you need “real” articles there? Not just good images of z.B. this months big stories or this years?!

There is a module in Tiris called JA Sidenews. You have it unpublished. (the three pictures over the slideshow)

In here you can call from the categories and use featured articles. It is what you want to do only not with slideshow and not with K2.But the pictures are automatically resized and the leading text is there too. You can even have 6 boxes there if you wanted to. And you can set them with Joomla to expire or publish automatically using standard Joomla publishing options.

Just an idea.
