I am trying to embed a slideshow in the frontpage article using the free joomla simple slideshow plugin. But the TOPAZ template interferes with the plugin and takes the image out of the slideshow. Please let me know a solution.

Hi @bkchandr,
Because ja TOPAZ template uses style for article content, so when embedding a slideshow plugin in the article content it was overridden style. To fix for the problem please make sure styles of slideshow plugin override styles of template, you can use “!important” append to each line style.
ex:
your style is


.slideshow{
width:300px;
position:absolute;
}
change to


.slideshow{
width:300px !important;
position:absolute !important;
}

thanks but it looks like there is a bigger problem. the plugin I am trying to embed on a homepage article is this one.

http://www.bretteleben.de/lang-en/joomla/simple-picture-slideshow/-anleitung-plugin-code.html

for some reason, the first image of the slideshow gets captured under .img-desc clearfix div rather than staying in .besps_holder.

.img-desc clearfix seems to be introduced by the topaz template. here is what is happening

div class=”img-desc clearfix”>
<img width=”400″ height=”200″ title=”001″ alt=”01″ style=”left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 400px; height: 200px;” src=”path removed”> </div>

<div class=”besps_holder besps_holder_2_0″>
<div class=”besps_slides besps_slides_2_0″>
<div id=”img_2_0_1″ style=”z-index: 2; visibility: hidden; opacity: 0;”></div></div>

<div id=”bs_caps_2_0″ class=”besps_caps besps_caps_2_0″></div>
</div>

I really hope that the template is not screwing up the plugin.

there was some interference with compressing images also on the homepage article, which I managed to fix, but this one seems to be another issue.

it does turn out that the template is interfering,

commenting line 23 and line 96 in default_item.php.will solve this problem.

Sorry, but this template is beginning to not serve the purpose >:(. At the moment, the only thing I like is the layout. There is a lot of good work but it’s not clean and I would prefer good documentation and explanation of what goes into the design so that the end user does not spend time on debugging.

Dear Bkchandr,

The ja topaz template used “.img-desc” for each articles frontpage to display image thumbnail of there article. You can remove it to resolve this problem s following:
– Open the file “deafult_item.php”, then remove this line code:


<div class="img-desc clearfix">
<?php echo $image; ?>
</div>


Good luck
