Ok, so I'm absolutely loving the red header with the Photoslide and Tabs Manager modules, and want to use it in the Postnote template, which I'm aiming to change subsequently slightly. Basically, I want to lift the following bits into the header position of the Postnote template:

However, I'm clearly making a mistake, although I'm not sure what. I've done the following:

1) Installed Photoslide GK3 modules and components as per the Corporate 2 instructions;
2) Made a photoslide group 'Header', with six slides in there using the same settings, images and text as the Corporate 2 template;
3) Copied photoslide pieces of CSS from /templates/gk_corporate2/css/gk_stuff.css and added them to the gk_stuff.css file for my postnote template
5) Copied the header block from /templates/gk_corporate2/layouts/blocks to my postnote template
6) Copied the gk_image_show.js file from /templates/gk_corporate2/js to my postnote template
7) Disabled all the modules in the header position in my Postnote template
8) Enabled mod_gk_image_show in the header position in my Postnote template, used the same settings and copied the parameters from the corporate2 template

And this is what I get.... clearly something is going wrong with the CSS, but it's so completely different from what it should be that I can't see the forest for the trees. Any thoughts?

Does anybody have any idea? I've been reading all T3 and K2 documentation, and trawling through all the files in the templates folders but I'm really at a loss what's going wrong.

Hi,
I only guess but it can be conflict with js scripts.

And that doesn't mean anything to me. :-)

I know it means javascripts, but I have no idea about javascripts and how to check them etc. Personally, I think it's something with CSS or so, but I'm checking and comparing and can't find anything.

Ok, can close this as solved. It's absolutely bizarre, I installed Image Show via Joomal, but then trawling through all the directories I found that /templates/gk_postnote/html/com_gk_image_show/ did not exist with all the files that should go in it, and neither did /templates/gk_postnote/js/gk_image_show. Perhaps because I'm using Wamp?

So obviously imageshow didn't work as it was missing all the code to make it work. Once I've copied that back in from gk_corporate 2 it suddenly worked like a charm, so I did copy all the relevant CSS and blocks after all.

Thanks to Konrad for pointing me in the direction of JS and making me realise that a file was missing there. :)
