    Hi

    That is an image – you can find it in templatesja_mendoziteimages folder the name of the image is slide-mask.png
    and is managed by this css /templates/ja_mendozite/css/mod_jaslideshowlite.css

    .ja-ss-mask {
    background: url("../images/slide-mask.png") no-repeat scroll left top transparent;
    cursor: pointer;
    display: block;
    height: 100%;
    left: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 2;
    }

    Dear teutobahiano,

    You can change the text you want by changing text in the file: slide-mask.psd in the source file, thanks

    Hello,
    Is there a way to have styled text instead of an image? I would like the text to get indexed by search engines.
    Cheers

    Might you be able to provide the url for the site you’re working on – as opposed to my/our having to look off of the demo version (as certain settings/configurations may be different) ?

    Hi Tom,

    The website is: http://www.deepanalytics.eu It’s nothing more that a slightly modified QuickStart installation as I am just at the beginning of the design.

    Cheers

    I took a look at the demo version and, unfortunately – and as was mentioned earlier – that element is an image and it does not appear that there is an option – within the Slideshow module – to use text only for that element.

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for your answer. I guess my only alternative is to edit the image as to remove the text, and then modify the slideshow module in order to place real text on top of it. I will have to think a bit about it 🙂

    Cheers

    Hi Tom,

    I noticed that if I disable Javascript, the whole Slideshow module disappears, therefore what I am trying to achieve is pointless (making sure that the text in the Slideshow module is indexable). I will place indexable text (the same in the picture) below the slideshow module. Let me know if you have any comments.

    The ironic thing is that I am dealing with SEO optimization and incorporating text in images and displaying text through Javascript is against what I am preaching 😀

    Cheers

    Regarding the use of this image, how can you modify the image the css is pointing at in the case of a multilanguage site? I’d like to have two images one in a language and the other one in another. Is this possible?

    Hi Andrea,
    How are you handling multilingualism? Are you using the native Joomla 2.5 features or are you using a component like Falang?
    There are many ways to do the same thing. My approach was to remove slide-mask.psd in the CSS declaration and overlap a custom module on top of the slideshow module. Depending on how you implement multilingualism, you might use a different custom module for every language that you will be using.

    You can overlap the custom module by assigning a specific class suffix to the custom modules for example:

    .customoverlap {
    position: absolute; // reposition module from the natural layout
    left: 40px;
    top: 170px;
    z-index: 10;
    }

    It’s a quick and dirty way, but it works.

    Cheers

    I’m using the Joomla multilanguage feature. Can you explain better how to proceed to do the trick? You mean that you’re creating a new module that goes in the same position with the .png?

    Hi Andrea,
    There is no relation with the png that you simply remove by commenting out the line:

    background: url("../images/slide-mask.png") no-repeat scroll left top transparent;

    The trick here is to add a new custom module on top of the slideshow module. You do this by:
    1) creating the custom module on the “slideshow” position (not strictly necessary as any position could go)
    2) In the module “Advanced Options -> Module Class Suffix” you can put a name for example “overlap”
    3) in the template.css you add at the bottom the following rule:

    .customoverlap {
    position: absolute; // reposition module from the natural layout
    left: 40px;
    top: 170px;
    z-index: 10;
    }

    The left and the top are the distances from the border of the page. You could have used a different positioning method, for example relatively from the borders of the slideshow DIV. z-index has to be more than 2 (I put 10 in the example) in order for it to be on top of the slideshow element (the slideshow has a z-index of 2). You have to call the class “customoverlap” because Joomla will append “overlap” as a suffix to the existing “custom” class (it’s a custom module).

    Hope this was not too confusing

    Cheers
    Luca
