Showcase Images Slider

Do you mean AUTO slide? If so, that is not a core function, however, I've included the javascript vars in some of the templates that can be un commented that will enable autoslide.


edit template: nflj_showcase_node_list_items

find this towards the top of the template (starts at line 15) and un comment out the auto controls (remove // in front of the 3 lines)

HTML:

        $('.sliderNodeListItems').bxSlider({
            //auto: true,
            //autoControls: true,
            //pause: 3000,
        
            slideWidth: 234,
            minSlides: 1,
            maxSlides: 8,
            slideMargin: 10,
            pager: false
        });

 

no... all 3 of those lines need to be un commented. You only un commented the middle one.

like this...

Code:

        $('.sliderNodeListItems').bxSlider({
            auto: true,
            autoControls: true,
            pause: 3000,
       
            slideWidth: 234,
            minSlides: 1,
            maxSlides: 8,
            slideMargin: 10,
            pager: false
        });

 

If you have custom style, you need to move all the showcase images into that style as well (same path). Thats why the arrows are not displaying.

 

the core xf default style uses the path /styles/default

Some styles change that to /styles/style_name

showcase ships with its images in /styles/default/nflj/showcase/(all of the showcase folders and images)

so, if you are using a style that has its own path you need to move showcase images (full path) into that style like so

/styles/style_name/nflj/showcase/(all of the showcase folders and images)

This is no different for any other addon.

 

No worries Mate.. Im sure you will pick things up fast.

As far as the custom styles go... not every custom style is going to be 100% perfect as they only cover core XF classes. Showcase (like the Resource Manager) is a HUGE add with a TON of custom CSS that isn't covered by core XF classes. You are going to have to do some tweaking to the custom showcase CSS classes (specially with dark styles). There is a thread here about how to tweak the slider for a DARK style (I don't have the link memorized or I'd post it) (will look for it now).

 

here is the thread I was talking about: http://addons.nfljunkies.com/threads/showcase-recentimage-block-background-color.765/

 

The problem with your images is what I explained above. You are using a custom style that changes the default path established by core XF, so to fix that, you need to copy the default showcase folder structure/images into the NEW path structure that your style developer decided to use for their custom style. Once you do that, they will display.

 

Its a known issue with BX Slider. I've fixed it (in showcase version 2.0.0) and posted a file swap for older versions here: http://addons.nfljunkies.com/threads/bx-slider-issues-w-xf-1-3-0-beta-2.796/
