#175525

I apologize for asking a lot of questions in a short period of time. (this will be my last)

1. I am curious if there is a way to add the Author’s name to this module? For example display the image, title of article and author of the article. .
2. Also – is there a way to move the text field to overlap the image? (white text)
Basically, i would like to make a sub-module from the current JA contentslider2 and install it under a different name (contentslider3)

As seen here..

You find the code from /templates/ja_methys/css/mod_jacontentslider.css

div.ja_slidetitle a {
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 150%;
color: #111; < change text to white
}

You replace the code from /templates/ja_methys/css/mod_jacontentslider.css

div.ja_slidetitle {
font-family: Georgia,Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

with

div.ja_slidetitle {
font-family: Georgia,Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
position: absolute;
top: 70px;
}

You replace the code from /templates/ja_methys/html/mod_jacontentslider2/default.php

<?php echo ($params->get( 'link_titles' ) ) ? '<a href="'.$link.'" title="">'.$contn->title.'</a>' : $contn->title;?>
with


<?php $user =& JFactory::getUser($contn->created_by); ?>
<?php echo ($params->get( 'link_titles' ) ) ? '<a href="'.$link.'" title="">'.$contn->title.' - '.$user->name.'</a>' : $contn->title.' - '.$user->name;?>

Khoand – How do you add a break between the Title and Username? i tried adding a echo /n and it gave me a fatal error??
Also can you link the username to the k2 userpage? or does that require too much coding? Thanks as always

hi robnob,

what do you meant by “apply different css to the title/username” ? how do we know what css is right for a title/username

Hi Dat Hoang,

In the image above – you will notice that the Title and User are from the same php script.
I guess i am wondering how to separate them in two scripts so i can apply two separate CSS settings.
1. for a larger texted title and 2. a second line with smaller font for the User (also linked to the users K2 profile)

I hope that clarifies. Thank you.

Hi robnob,

you can replace pervious code
[PHP]
<?php $user =& JFactory::getUser($contn->created_by); ?>
<?php echo ($params->get( ‘link_titles’ ) ) ? ‘<a href=”‘.$link.'” title=””>’.$contn->title.’ – ‘.$user->name.'</a>’ : $contn->title.’ – ‘.$user->name;?>
[/PHP]

By the below that would link username to the user page
[PHP]
<?php $user =& JFactory::getUser($contn->created_by);
require_once (JPATH_SITE.DS.’components’.DS.’com_k2′.DS.’helpers’.DS.’route.php’);
require_once (JPATH_SITE.DS.’components’.DS.’com_k2′.DS.’helpers’.DS.’utilities.php’);
$userLink = JRoute::_(K2HelperRoute::getUserRoute($user->id));

?>
<?php echo ($params->get( ‘link_titles’ ) ) ? ‘<a href=”‘.$link.'” class=”ctitle” title=””>’.$contn->title.'</a> – <a class=”cuser” href=’.$userLink.’> ‘.$user->name.'</a>’ : $contn->title.’ – ‘.$user->name;?>

[/PHP]

Also now you have two separate css class for title and username those are ctitle and cuser you can define different css to the title/username via those class.

THANK YOU! By Adding the 2 new Classes (cuser/ctitle)
Do i have to manually add them to the CSS file or should they auto generate?

Sherlock – I love the php script – but i am having a ton of trouble applying CSS settings to a A CLASS… should i break this up and put it into two DIV CLASS? Sorry for my lack of experience.

Can anybody answer this question? I need to add two CSS styles, but i cannot figure out how to give CSS settings to a CLASS and not a DIV CLASS… if that makes sense :-[ Thank you

hi robnob,

I am sorry for this late reply, I am not sure which css settings you want to apply for those a tags, if you want you can wrap those a tags by a div tag, try with this code
[PHP] <?php echo ($params->get( ‘link_titles’ ) ) ? ‘<div class=”ctitle”><a href=”‘.$link.'” title=””>’.$contn->title.'</a></div> – <div class=”cuser”><a href=’.$userLink.’> ‘.$user->name.'</a></div>’ : $contn->title.’ – ‘.$user->name;?>[/PHP]

Instead of this code as current
[PHP] <?php echo ($params->get( ‘link_titles’ ) ) ? ‘<a href=”‘.$link.'” class=”ctitle” title=””>’.$contn->title.'</a> – <a class=”cuser” href=’.$userLink.’> ‘.$user->name.'</a>’ : $contn->title.’ – ‘.$user->name;?>[/PHP]

Worked like a charm Sherlock (except that i can’t get the – or text Written By) in front of the cuser div.

Any chance i can ask one more php type question?
How would i add the K2 Category?
For example (in the image below) if i replaced the cusername “jason falb” with category name – like NBA

Thanks so much!

Hi robnob,

you no longer want usernames there ? so which link the category name will refer to ?
