Hi,

I've carried out all the installation steps but I can't see how to create a 'Nivo slider' content folder. Can you tell me how to do that please?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Now that I have downloaded and installed nivoslider-1.0-1.ezpkg I can now see the 2 new classes.

I have created a slideshow but when I goto to look at it from the front end of the web site all I see is:

random
15
8
4
500
3000
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
No
0

Can you tell me what else I need to do to view the slideshow properly please?

Thanks,

Andy

OK

I'm fairly new to ezpublish

Can you tell me exactly how to do that please?

Andy

OK

I've installed the package and the extension an I've added a nivoslider page and nivoslider images within the Content Structure.

I've setup an override as follows within my site's override.ini.append.php file:

[nivoslider_slideshow]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=nivoslider_slideshow.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class_identifier]=nivoslider

I then copied the XML code from: /extension/nivoslider/design/standard/override/templates/embed/nivoslider.tpl
and pasted it into my new nivoslider_slideshow.tpl file.

I cleared the cache.

If I now browse to the novoslider page within the front end of the web I can see that the new nivoslider_slideshow.tpl is being used to try and display the slideshow.

However - if I view the source of the page all I see in the content area is:

<div class="content-view-embed">
<div class="class-nivoslider">

<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function() { $('#slider').nivoSlider(
{ effect : '',
slices : ,
boxCols : ,
boxRows : ,
animSpeed : ,
pauseTime : ,
directionNav : false,
directionNavHide : false,
controlNav : false,
controlNavThumbs:false,
controlNavThumbsFromRel:false,
keyboardNav : false,
pauseOnHover : false,
manualAdvance : false,
captionOpacity : }
);
});
</script>
</div>
</div>

Also - I don't see any mention of the css or javascript file being included at the top of the source info.

Can you let me knwo what I'm doing wrong please?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Sandra,

So... should I do the following?

1. Edit the 'Article' class and add an XML block (name it slideshow)

2. Goto 'Content Structure' and create a nivoslider

3. Add several nivoslider_images within the nivoslider

4. Create an 'Article'

5. Click on 'Add existing' within the Related objects area

6. Select the nivoslider object within the content structure that I created in step 2

7. Copy and paste the XML for the related object into the new XML block I created in step 1

I have tried doing the above but it didn't display the slideshow :-(

Andy

Hi Sandra,

I now understand what you mean - Thank you.

Apologies for seeming to ask daft questions but there are several of ways one can interpret what you were saying regarding adding the XML due to the flexibility provided by ezPublish.

I added the nivoslider object into an article using the editor but I when to look at the slideshow from the front end of the web site but all I saw was the animated circular image that looked like it was loading the slideshow but then no images were shown.

Any ideas why the slideshow isn't being displayed?

Andy

This is a rewrite rule or sitesetting problem, because extension and objects are well loaded.
If I try to open the image
http://www.usincare.org.uk/var/ez...2397-1-eng-GB/Photo-3_nivoslider.jpg I can see it, but if I try to open the (wrong)link I see in the source
http://www.usincare.org.uk/index....2397-1-eng-GB/Photo-3_nivoslider.jpg it , I can't, so look carefully to your settings!
