Hi — I think I need a bit more instruction on the JA Slideshow2 Module. Specifically, how do you set up the image, large title, and subtitle for each article when pulling them from a content item?

I’m not able to get it working so that it looks like the demo sample.

Thanks,
railer

I’d like the same instruction as railer, please. I can’t get the HTML working to display the Title and Subtitle or enlarge the text. Is this done via css?

I got a reply from Hoang Quoc Dat suggesting that I install the Quickstart version and then get the settings from that. I asked if he would take a screenshot of the demo settings and email them to me. Waiting on that — re: timezone differences.

It seems the only solution is to install quickstart to get the site to look like the demo, but how is that possible with joomla already installed? Is it? At the very least I’m trying to get the slideshow to look decent. I am simply trying to use the image method but the image no matter what size I make it never seems to fit in the space. I use ja slideshow in several sites but this one just won’t look right. Any clues on the proper settings for the slideshow if I want to use the image method?

Ok, please send over the link to your site and the administrator account as I need to take a look before giving you any advice on making it look same as the demo: )

Hi

Images don’t show in slideshow module – but can’t find an option for this in the module to turn it on

[insiyah Friend insiyahJoin date: August 2010Posts: 6Downloads:0Uploads:0 Thanks: 3]

#357088

Thanks for the response. Although, I took care of it by installing the quickstart on another domain I have in the backend so I can take a look at all the backend goodies from there and apply to my site.

I never really understood the quickstart option. Now that I’ve done it I would prefer to do that with all my sites I guess.

Thanks for the offer I appreciate it.

I’m also having an issue with the title of the article showing up the way it does in the demo. I changed the skin from the default to cooper but then changed it back again to default and it’s not working correctly.
