Hi there,

I’m using the ACM container slideshow style 5 to create a landing style for my homepage.

The problem I am having is that when I set the controls to show there is an additional slide item that doesn’t exist. How can I remove this additional slide item?

Also the little arrow that points down is only visible on the 2nd slide item, but not on the first item, how can I fix that?

Thanks,
Richard

Hi there,

So I figured out the first part of my question and thought I would post if anyone else needs to remove the empty additional slide.

I downloaded 2 files from /template/acm/container-slideshow/tmpl named stlye-5.php and style-5.xml and renamed/re-uploaded them so that I can edit without future updates overriding my changes.

So to remove the empty slide you need to comment out from approx line 25 in the renamed style-5.php

<?php if($helper->get('enable-leave-slide')): ?>
<div id="sec-last" class="block-landing-item"><a href="" class="block-landing-prev"></a></div>
<?php endif; ?>

Then to remove the additional navigation (in red) comment out approx line 33 in the renamed style-5.php

<li class="mod-nav-item sec-last"><a href="#sec-last">Options</a></li>

The only problem I am now having is the little arrow pointing down is on the last slide item which is totally backwards as there is no more to scroll to.

If anyone knows how to make the little arrow appear on all but the last slide I would be appreciative if you could post the answer here.

If I find the solution in the meantime then I will post the answer here.

Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,

You don’t remove that code, you can go to backend of your site and set Slideshow Controls to No, see the screenshot

Hope it helps

Regards

Hi @ninja Lead,

I tried setting that to “no” but it removes the little arrow that points down to let people know that they should scroll down.

Thanks,
Richard

@gringo211985: Right now its difficult to guess the issue and give solution to you.

You need to send me the screenshot of issue and URL of your site overlay it with what you are trying to achieve. I might be able to help you out then.

Hi @ninja Lead,

Basically what I wanted to do was remove the additional slide, which I have done.

The only other thing I want to do is show the little arrow that points down to show on all but the last slide, this then lets people know they should continue to scroll. See screenshot

The arrow in the screenshot is disabled when you set the show-controls to “no” which is why I removed the code from my 2nd post.

The problem is now that the arrow only shows on the last slide, instead of all but the last.

Thanks,
Richard

In this case, I need to check it directly on your site, you can give me the URL of your site for further investigation

Hi @ninja Lead,

Sorry I should have included it in the post, I will pm you as I don’t want to link in the forum.

Update: I have sent you a pm with the details, also I notice that at the exact resolution of 992px the scrolling doesn’t work on auto or manual, could you take a look at that also please?

Thanks,
Richard

I fixed it directly on your site and you saw changing on your site

Open templates/uber/acm/container-slideshow/tmpl/phanes-landing.php file

from

<?php if (($i==$count-3) && $helper->get('enable-leave-slide')): ?>
<a class="arrow-bottom block-landing-next" href="#"><i class="fa fa-long-arrow-down"></i></a>
<?php endif; ?>

to

<?php if (($i!=$count-1) && $helper->get('enable-leave-slide')): ?>
<a class="arrow-bottom block-landing-next" href="#"><i class="fa fa-long-arrow-down"></i></a>
<?php endif; ?>

Now, the arrow down button is showing on your site

Hi @ninja Lead,

Thank you so much for fixing this for me!!! Perhaps the ACM needs to be updated with this fix.

I don’t suppose you know how to solve the problem at exactly 992px resolution?

Thanks,
Richard

JA ACM container-slideshow module copied from Uber template and I am afraid it would not be included with new upgrade version

You have to make it with a backup version if you want to upgrade new version.

Look at the screenshot here, you will see it did not support on mobile device
