Hi,

I’ve set up JA Slider Show to pull images out of a folder. It’s not working. Attached is an image when I check it wit FireBug and you’ll see the source is not being called at all.

I changed around folders, same problem.

Any help here appreciated.

Ahh, it seems you have a bit of work to do. First things first, you are running a very out of date version of Joomla, version 1.7.0 which you must update to version 2.5.3. You will then find you will also need to update all of your JA components as all are a long way behind and many including your template and jat3 plugin simply are not compatible with the latest release.

So I installed Joomla 2.5, uploaded the template and got he slide show to work…kinda. There’s a weird shadow behind the images now:

No idea what that might be.

That looks like you have set the wrong profile and image sizes for your slideshow settings. Please refer to the Userguide for this template to see the exact settings to use.

Here is a screenshot of the settings from our demo.

HI Phil,

Regardless of profile(I tried them all) that shadow stay behind the images. All this guy wants is just a plain, straight-forward slider that pull images from a folder. Nothing linked to content or anything else. Just a slider.

I think I figured it out.

It should in fact be

#ja-slideshow .wrap-inner1 {
background-image:none;
}

Taking it out completely, just makes it worse. But thank you very much. You pointed me in the right direction. Appreciated.

The shadow is there as part of the styling of this layout. If you look at the demo you would see a nice glowing border around the slides with some nicely designed buttons at the bottom. From the look of your image you are trying to do something very different so you would need to adjust some of the css accordingly.

If you wanted rid of the shadow to do as you are looking for above change the following code found in templates/ja_travel/themes/blue/css/template.css line 186

#ja-slideshow .wrap-inner1 {
background-image: url("../images/shadow-bg.png");
}

to

#ja-slideshow .wrap-inner1 {
}
