I’m having trouble with the Ja_Slideshow mod.

On the template the slideshow has a very neat description box that shows up in each of the rotating images: http://templates.joomlart.com/ja_sanidine/#

But on my website: http://eximinus.com/joomla/quickstart/

All I can get is just plan white text. Does anyone know how I could get it so I could have that black box behind the text, along with yellow text for the description title?

Thanks.

I’m looking to do this on Ja Sanidine I, not Ja Sanidine II.

And is this safe to give a developer my login details? (I’m New here)

Not to hijack the assistance my colleague, Ninja Lead has provided thus far
– but rather, in the interest of expediency in helping you out ….

To change the font size for your slideshow description/captions . . . .

Within file path –> /joomla/quickstart/templates/ja_sanidine/css/ja.slideshow.css

at line 175, add a “font-size” property, for example:

.ja-slideshowdesc {
background: url("../images/trans-bg.png") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent !important;
bottom: 0;
color: #FFFFFF
padding: 10px 0 !important;
position: absolute;
right: 10px;
width: 83%;
z-index: 10;
font-size: 120%;
}

Does this help ??

🙂

Actually that didn’t work, it only changed the font size the first time through, then when it rotates back to that image the font size is small again.

Are you certain you saved your changes? Try also clearing both your browser and the JAT3 cache – just in case.

I just played around with it again (using Firebug) – same recommendation as above – and it worked for all of the slideshow images that had captions.

Yes it works when I put it in “.ja-slideshowdesc {” But I’m trying to only change the title text size.

So when I put it in “.ja-slideshowdesc h3 {” or “.ja-slideshowdesc h3 span {” it only changes the text size once, then when the image rotates again the font size is back to normal.

And yes I cleared my cache and all that

Okay, try this . . . .

Within file path –> /joomla/quickstart/templates/ja_sanidine/css/template.css

at line 1158, add a “font-size” property value – for example . . .

#ja-contentsl1 div.module h3, #ja-contentsl1 div.module h3 span, #ja-contentsl2 div.module h3, #ja-contentsl2 div.module h3 span {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
color: #FFFFFF
height: auto;
line-height: normal;
padding-left: 4px;
font-size: 125%;
}

Let me know how that works for you.

Still didn’t work :((

And it also only edits the text title of the first image, not the other 3 at all

EDIT: Actually it wouldn’t even let me edit the file template.css
