Hi

I use your Content Slider Modul, but missing some functions:
– I cant display only featured articles
– I cant display random articles

What you think, do you add these options to this modul soon?

Please answer ASAP.

Hi Ervin,

Its true that JA Content Slider module doesn’t support the options you mentioned. I have forwarded your request to our development team. Anyway, I am afraid for not being in the position to confirm on adding those features.

Now I need display featured articles. Is there a solution for it? Or I must wait if the developer team add these feature to the modul…

This is a heavy customization for JA Content Slider module as it requires major code changes, but you being a developer member our dev team decided to help you out.

+ Download and extract my attached files

+ Copy both files helper.php and mod_jacontentslider.xml into modules/mod_jacontentslider path

+ Don’t forget to backup old files before replacing the files.

Once done, you can see featured articles and random options in JA Content Slider module of back-end site, see the screenshot.

let us know how it goes.

Regards

Ohhh…Thank you very much…:-)
It work perfectly.
I think add these functions to this module is a good news not only for me.

I have one more request:
– I want display articles from some categories and subcategories. Add these categories is not problem (Categories Selection), but when I want display the latest from all selected categories it dont display correctly. First display the latest only from first category, after from next, etc.
How I can set it or what I must change for do it correctly…

If you have a solution please send me it ASAP.

Thank you again

Ervin

Maybe, you need to customize in helper.php file again

Open modules/mod_jacontentslider/helper.php file

Change

$thumbnailMode = $params->get('source-articles-images-thumbnail_mode', 'crop');

To

$compare = create_function('$a, $b', 'return strcmp($b->created, $a->created);');
uasort($data, $compare);

$thumbnailMode = $params->get('source-articles-images-thumbnail_mode', 'crop');

Let me know if it helps
