Topic contentI’m really impressed with the full width slideshow on Joomlart’s home page. How can I create a full slideshow like that on a T3 base template? I tried everything I could but it’s not working. Please help!

Hi rnkosi,

Which module and position will you use in T3 based template?

I guess you’re using T3 Blank template, right?

The ‘position-1’ is included in spotlight block which displays in a container. You can try to create a new block called slideshow, for example, add the associated php file in directory: root/templates/your_default_template/tpls/blocks/slideshow.php

and add this code inside this new file:

<?php
/**
 * @package   T3 Blank
 * @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 - 2012 Open Source Matters, Inc. All rights reserved.
 * @license   GNU General Public License version 2 or later; see LICENSE.txt
 */

defined('_JEXEC') or die;
?>

<?php if ($this->countModules('slideshow')) : ?>
<!-- SLIDESHOW -->
<div class="slideshow hidden-xs <?php $this->_c('slideshow') ?>">
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('slideshow') ?>" style="raw" />
</div>
<!-- //SLIDESHOW -->
<?php endif ?>

Of course, you will need to create a new position called slideshow
