Image Show Parameters for Sporter

I am in development of a site using the GK Sporter Template (at this point local development). I have installed the 'quick start' package and used the default module parameters but I have a few problems:
1. I cannot get the Authors or Dates to appear on the Image Show slides or thumbnails as in the demo.
2. I cannot seem to link to K2 items/Articles (unless I forced input a URL)
3. I cannot get the Info Title to be a clickable link.

In the Image Show Module Parameters I used the following parameters (as specified):
text_position=246;
text_height=100;
show_text_block=true;
clean_xhtml=true;
wordcount=24;
title_char_amount=27;
slide_links=true;
preloading=true;
pagination=true;
pagination_cols=4;
pagination_date=true;
pagination_limit=39;
pagination_date_format=%e %B %Y;
animation_speed=500;
animation_interval=5000;
autoanimation=true;
animation_type=opacity;
readmore_text=Read more;
show_info=true;
date_format=%A %e, %B %Y;
author_name=author;
info_format=Written: %date by %author;
interface=true;

Is there some parameters I'm missing? Is there a bug patch?

DOES ANYONE MODERATE THIS SITE ... I MEAN THIS IS A PAID FORUM ... I POSTED THIS THREAD QUESTION 2 DAYS AGO ... CAN I GET A REPLY?!? ... AT LEAST YOU CAN TELL ME TO GOTO HELL

Hi

Theese are the settings from the demo site:

Code: Select all

text_position=246;
text_height=100;
show_text_block=true;
clean_xhtml=true;
wordcount=24;
title_char_amount=27;
slide_links=true;
preloading=true;
pagination=true;
pagination_cols=4;
pagination_date=true;
pagination_limit=39;
pagination_date_format=%e %B %Y;
animation_speed=500;
animation_interval=5000;
autoanimation=true;
animation_type=opacity;
readmore_text=Read more;
show_info=true;
date_format=%A %e, %B %Y;
author_name=username;
info_format=Written: %date by %author;


Unfortunately the titles were not made to be linkable with template style.

This way of linking to K2 works for me:

Thanks for the reply. But I still can't get the Author Name or Pagination Date to show. I've used the Image Show Parameters and these pieces of info won't show up on the slide. I was already putting in the URL to the K2 items ... question - - is the fact that the Photoslide GK3 Extension won't list K2 items in the article selection related to the fact that it won't pull Author or Pagination Date Info.

And surely, there is a parameter to make the Article/Item title linkable?

Hi

Photoslide do not work with K2 yet. So that is the problem why it cannot download the date and author, because there is no information which article is being choosen. If I remember well the work to make Photoslide support K2 is already in progress.

Hi,

Do you guys already know how long it will take untill there is K2 support for the date and the author in this component?

And maybe it is also a possibility to give the images the alt tag of the title, for a better SEO compatability...

Greetings,

John

This feautures would be in version Photoslide GK4, but when the date of release would be, I don't know.

I have a little problem with loading slides in animation (using Firefox)- like on the demo site.

Parameters are :

text_position=271;
text_height=100;
show_text_block=true;
clean_xhtml=true;
wordcount=24;
title_char_amount=27;
slide_links=true;
preloading=true;
pagination=true;
pagination_cols=4;
pagination_date=true;
pagination_limit=39;
pagination_date_format=%e %B %Y;
animation_speed=500;
animation_interval=5000;
autoanimation=true;
animation_type=opacity;
readmore_text=Read more;
show_info=true;
date_format=%A %e, %B %Y;
author_name=username;
info_format=Written: %date by %author;



I use group of slides which are linkable through

LINK TYPE : own link
LINK : index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=34:winter-classics-in-st-louis

,

Extended parameters : Both Forced.

What i have wrong please?

Thanks in advance.
