Image show gk_startup title doesn't take header setting

Hi,

I'm trying to get a decent slideshow on the FrontPage of my site. I find the gk_startup setting of the image slide show works best for my site, but I need to reduce the header. In "Ädvanced options" I've set the header tag to h6, but the title doesn't change. It's insanely big, all capitals and takes up half my FrontPage. I'd rather have it below the slides anyway, but I'd settle for h6 without too much padding. I suppose adding a header suffix could help, but I haven't found any header suffixes in the documentation.

My site: http://www.byimke.nl

I hope someone can help. Thanks!

Right now Your cache doesnt work, and all css and js files failes to load. Please turn of caching of those files.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. I've turned off browser cache (although the plugin was already disabled, so it shouldn't make a difference). In the template, I turned of css caching. I've also deleted the browsing history. All of it doesn't seem to make a difference. The css caching was necessary to fix another problem, the 500 internal server error, so I'm not sure I want to trade in this problem for another one, but I left it like this for now to see whether that's the problem. Do you have another suggestion? Thanks, Imke

Sadly Your template still tries to load cached files:

Code: Select all

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/cache/rokbooster/ff050019d0dab84be9821a427a879130.php" type="text/css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/cache/rokbooster/f927121db7048d2109bfd476f7d782bd.php" type="" media="(max-width: 1230px)"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/cache/rokbooster/18b4fa2232255fbb4e2bbbab223cf14e.php" type="" media="(max-width: 1024px)"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/cache/rokbooster/dafee7f13fec2cd996a7c58b1edb699d.php" type="" media="(max-width: 820px)"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/cache/rokbooster/c70fddb4e9e2e9dd1980310d2c9e3459.php" type="" media="(max-width: 580px)"/>


and while those files doesnt exist, there is no visual layout of Your site. You need to fix that first (test Your page on a browser with cleared cache or chrome in incognito mode)

Oh, right, the thing I actually did to fix the internal server error, was installing RokBooster, worked like a charm. Just now, I've disabled the RokBooster plugin and cleared Joomla cache (also clearing RokBooster chache). It didn't change a thing as you can see for yourself. I've checked the source code and it's not caching anymore. I've checked using Firefox and IE10. I hope you have another suggestion...?

Ok. Please enable override.css in theme options, then edit:
/templates/gk_simplicity/css/override.css and add at its end:

Code: Select all

.gkIsWrapper-gk_startup .gkIsText h2 a {font-size: 40px; font-weight: 400; text-transform: none;}


Play with those numbers. Current ones are 60px and 700.

Thanks a lot! I'll try straight away. Any code to set the header to display at the bottom and in sentence case instead of all caps? Cheers, Imke

I've tried. The override isn't working for this, although I've used it to successfully override colors and styles in the template. I've added !important, but it doesn't make a difference. In the source it still shows h2, which I've changed to h6, just to see. Also, I can see an extra paragraph under the header, taking up space. The biggest problem is some padding in between that I can't locate using Firebug nor Stylizer. Please help!

Have You again enabled caching of css and js files?
Your site looks this way now:
http://d.pr/i/GMWs

I have checked two different browsers and cleared cache to check that.

Hi, that's the way the mobile site already looked before; another problem to solve. The standard site still looks standard to me. Yes, I enabled the RokBooster plugin again because otherwise I keep getting an internal server error and my site can't be reached. I'm almost giving up on Gavick, which is a shame, because I paid good money for it.

Before, when You have disabled RokBooster everything was working fine. Perhaps there is a conflict with your hosting company settings... But to deal with that I need to see a site that works correctly, and now sadly with RokBooster it doesnt .
When I try to load thosa "cached" css and js files directly,:
http://www.byimke.nl/cache/rokbooster/f ... d782bd.php
I get:
Forbidden
You do not have permission to access this document.
Can You load this link from Your machine?

Hi, you're right. Although RokBooster solved my internal server error it does seem to be the reason the mobile site was broken. I've turned it off and cleared the cache. You should e able to view the source again.

You have used:

Code: Select all

.gkIsWrapper-gk_startup .gkIsText h6 a {font-size: 20px!important; font-weight: 200!important; text-transform: none;}


but You need to adress h2, as it still is a node that controlls text in slideshow:

Code: Select all

.gkIsWrapper-gk_startup .gkIsText h2 a {font-size: 20px!important; font-weight: 200!important; text-transform: none;}


Now, please tell me what should I do to get this server internal error.

Hi, thanks, that works for the font size. Unfortunately it doesn't fix the problem I have that I just get the text. That seems to have more to do with the position / padding etc. Do you have any idea how to solve this?

As for the internal server error... I'm still waiting for it to reoccur. It usually happened after a few minutes of working on the backend, but it's still working. Magic?

If Internal happends on backend (administrator) it might be some limitation of Your hosting company. I have found that it sometimes happens when You have a lot of articles or plugins/modules and you will change from showing 20 per page to "all".

Going back to slideshow - please try to describe more precisely what You would like to do with it (screenshots corrected in PS might help).

Hi, I'm not sure about the internal server error. Whenever I tested, the host was not the problem (also view my post about the server error https://www.gavick.com/forums/security-and-configuration/internal-server-error-500-25215.html)

Attached my perfect solution (I know I won't end up with that ) to the image slide show problem. Ideally the slideshow would be highly configurable instead of using a limited number of very outspoken presets. My problem with the current setting is:

that the title is there at all
that the title takes up far too much space so that when opening the front page, you'll just see the title and not the image

Thanks for helping!

Hi

@Cyberek asked me to join this discussion. Please send me an access to joomla panel so I'll see if I get this error too.

When I look at Your perfect result than it looks like You should use News Show Pro module instead of Image Show and than make each slide as an article.

Hi, thanks for joining. I'll send you a PM with the login details, but so far so good... I haven't had the Internal Server error anymore.

Thanks for the suggestion. After it broke my site, I haven't taken a look at News Show anymore. I'll update and see whether that suits my needs!

Hi

No problem for me with administrator panel.

Anyway I will really advice to use NSP for that. But GK4 version since GK5 is still in development process and may not work 100%.

Hi, thanks for the advice, but are you telling me not to use it on a live site? Cheers, Imke

Hi

I'm just telling that it will be safer to use NSP GK4 right now, since GK5 is in development mode and released fro testing purposes only. It works fine with most of the sites, but there is still a possibility You will come across some bug.

Anyway both this modules are capable of making the slide as You want it. Let me know when You will have problems with configuration.

Thanks, I'm trying it out now.

Hi

Just let me know if You will need some help with this.

Hi, today I'm trying to get the site front page working. I'd installed GK5 before, so I updated it now and so far it seems to be working fine. Just not the way I intended it to work (yet). It doesn't seem to pick up the article image, and I don't see any navigation. How can I tweak that? Thanks in advance.

Hi

I do not see NSP on frontpage. Please prepare this modules and send me an access to joomla panel, so I'll check settings.

Hi, I'm sorry, I've given up on Gavick. Thanks for the effort. See https://www.gavick.com/forums/general-discussion/how-to-set-article-background-image-for-news-show-pro-gk5-25793.html

Cheers, Imke

Hi

Ok. No problem. I just thought it was a simple configuration issue. If You change Your mind please simply tell me how do You want it, send me an access to joomla panel and I'll set it for You.

Hi, thanks for the help. I think your support is excellent, but I would've preferred some of that effort to be redirected at development, creating a more flexible solution. Cheers, Imke
