I’m using the new JA community template which comes with the JA Slideshow II module. I purchased this in November 2010, and downloaded at that time.

SET UP: I loaded the quickstart version in one folder with data. http://www.netaddictionrecovery.net/addictionsite
SET UP: I installed all of the modules for JA Community into our existing site. http://www.netaddictionrecovery.net

There seems to be two different versions of the slideshow II module. One in the download, and one in the quickstart version. They do not match. The downloaded and installed version has more options.

The problem I am having is that the images show up, but the descriptions in the module do not show up at all. I left the descriptions already in the module, and named my images the same names as what it is pointing to and still nothing.

Help?
Description I’ve left in the desc field:

<h3>Top 10 Math Professors in LA</h3>
<p>Youth Education gives kids endless possibilities to meet new friends, explore new interests & develop their talents</p>

File on my server for images contains the following files:

sl-1.jpg
sl-2.jpg
sl-3.jpg

Although I don’t want to grab articles from a category (i just want to use an image folder with descriptive text in module, it requires either a selection for categories or keyword even though the instruction manual does not show this as an options in the ja userguide. It’s like there are two different versions.

When I browse the source code, the slideshow area contains the word “resized” in the name of the image url even though I did not select any resize options.

Hi!
I’m also struggling with this module. If you leave the Main item width at 970 or whatever is set in the userguide, the description does not appear at all. if you reduce that number, the description field begins to appear. However, my problem is that a) i can’t get the image and the description to be the same size, and b) i can’t seem to position it correctly. the description field appears either in the middle of the show, or not quite far enough to the right. very annoying. :((
can any one please explain what combination of settings is required to make the slideshow look basically the same as the demo version, but with autoplay enabled?
I am using the full version (ie. not the quickstart version) on 1.5
my site URL for reference is: http://www.learningandchange.edu.au/
I’ve attached screenshots of the current settings and one of how it looks on the page.

thanks!

<blockquote> i can’t get the image and the description to be the same size</blockquote>
what did you mean “to be the same size” ?
have you modify the code?

Please look at the example attached in the previous message, or at the link that i posted and you will see my problem. the description field appears in the middle of the slideshow, not over to the right as it should in the demo.
