Help please. I am trying to get the slider to scroll and no matter what configuration I input, it won't scroll. What am I doing wrong?

I'm using Joomla 2.5 on a new website: medcoinstruments.com/joomla-new/index.php/dental

I also don't want the titles showing. How can I turn these off?

This extension isn't scrolling on another site I've recently done BUT it at least shows the arrows the one above doesn't have arrows or scroll.
pediatrichairsolutions.com/locations/lousebuster-services.html

Can someone please help with this??

Hello, this is not an error with the module. You appear to be using some kind of plugin to load the scripts that the module uses,

but there is a PHP error in that plugin, it generates the error '<br />
<b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in <b>/home/medcoins/public_html/joomla-new/cache/rokbooster/7273e8baf2a3bc18056daac0eecd1a8b.php</b> on line <b>22</b><br />' and does not load any scripts, including the carousel scripts. So the carousel will not work. I suggest you stop using that plugin.

The other link you give is definitely scrolling: http://pediatrichairsolutions.com/locations/lousebuster-services.html. If you are not seeing it working you could try clearing your browser cache. If that does not solve the problem let me know which web browser you are using and I will investigate further.

thank you for this information. It was very helpful and I was able to get the scroller buttons to show. However, it's still not auto-scrolling.

I also need to delete the heading as it's linking to the article and I need the items in the scroller to ONLY link via the image and text.

Thanks so much for your help.

Hello, sorry for not answering the question about removing the heading. You can edit the template for the module output, if you are using the default layout it is in the file tmpl/default.php. You ned to edit line 17:

I think that the auto-scroller is working, just very slowly. The parameters ask you to specify the scroller timer in seconds, not milliseconds. It looks like you have the timer set to 1000 seconds, so every 16 minutes.

Thank you. That worked perfectly. I noticed that none of the hyperlinks or bold items in the text are showing in the carousel. How can that be corrected?

I am not quite sure what you mean, do you mean you want the text to link to the article?


The layout can be edited to whatever you require, that is the advantage of having an editable template. The article text is referred to by $item->text, so to make it a link you can edit line 24:-

to

The Photo and Item Name under the photo is a hyperlink in the article manager. However, it doesn't function properly show in this Carousel scroller as a hyperlink.

In that case you need to ignore the previous advice. You need to set the 'Count Characters' option in the module to 'use entire introtext'. Otherwise any html including links will be stripped out.

If you require help please take the trouble to explain clearly what you want, otherwise it is very difficult to advise you.

thanks so much! This all worked well. Appreciate the help.
