The styling of the default slider leaves a little to be desired. The text can be amended easily enough in CSS but the backdrop has an opacity setting in one of the php files which means that can't easily be overidden in a custom CSS file (which my template has to store all custom CSS code - to avoid losing changes on component / template updates).

I know there used to be a browser issue with CSS opacity settings - but thought this was no longer the case. Is there a reason this setting is in a php file?

ALSO there are a couple of issues with the images:

1. They aren't centred in the module they float left (this looks poor)
2. They distort to match the module parameters in module settings. This doesn't make sense, these parameters are surely there to define the width of the slider not the image in the slider.

Hello,

Can you tell me in which file you found the problem so i can help you with the opacity style.
If i'm not mistaken you can use template overrides to change everything, but i want to check it for you.

Hi

it's the default.php file in: modules/mod_rseventspro_slider/tmpl/ directory.

It's the following line:
<?php if (!empty($title) || !empty($date)) { ?>
var rsepro_slider_text = $('rsepro_simple_txt<?php echo $module->id;?>').set('opacity',0.5);
<?php } ?>

I chaange the opacity to 0.8 so the titels don't look washed out.

There is another issue also - if tthe title spans more than 1 line the second line is not indented with a margin or padding like the first. This looks a little messy.

Thanks.

This design flaw needs addressing. Correct styling of titles is a basic need within any module / component.

For the title span issue - when a title wraps onto a second line but there is no indent - the solution is to set the css for the .info h4 small element
display:block;

Hi Guys,

Seems i'm not the only one with a headache when it comes to the slider module. I'm trying to make it fill the page with a width of 940px. But it used the small resized image thumbnail. I need it to pick up the original image.

Have you guys found a solution to the image problem?

Also, i want to have the description text displayed in the simple layout style.

Cheers

Tom

Okay,

i found a solution for the image stretching problem.

instead of linking to the small resized version i changed the default.php to not use the resized thumb but the original image. Now i only need to upload the original image in with the right dimensions.

For anyone wanting to do this too. Here is how:

go to mod_rseventspro_slider/tmpl/default.php

on line 23:
<img src="<?php echo JURI::root(); ?>components/com_rseventspro/assets/images/events/thumbs/b_<?php echo $event->icon; ?>" alt="<?php echo $event->name; ?>" />

change to:
<img src="<?php echo JURI::root(); ?>components/com_rseventspro/assets/images/events/<?php echo $event->icon; ?>" alt="<?php echo $event->name; ?>" />

Hope this helps you as it did for me.

Cheers

Tom

Interestingg because the images appearing in my slider module are not thumbs they are bigger and distirt to reflect the relative dimensions of the module (as specified in the module parameters).

ANOTHER ISSUE WITH SLIDER STYLING: is the large white space (around an inch or so) that appears underneath the image / navigation.

I've tried adjusting all of the CSS setttings but to no avail. This white space is relative to thhe size of tthe module as it shhrinks with module size - it's not a fixed depth border or anything.
