Hi,

I have been trying to get the Nivo Slider to work all day today with no better results than this morning.

Has anyone used it successfully that can give me a hand in getting it to work for me?

I have tried to put the code on a Content page as well as directly on a Page... neither produced anything close to working.

The example talks about this bit of code should be in the page header???? This bit of code goes in the body????  This is CSS styling... where does it go??? etc.

I know it looks like it should be a slam dunk... sorry but my basketball stinks...

Any help gratefully accepted.

Thanks in advance

Hi Rick,

No problem I have more than enough to keep me busy, fortunately not as busy as you sound.  Thanks I look forward to the weekend then.

Thanks

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the help. to answer your questions first...

1. Files are on my Skydrive (https://skydrive.live.com/#!/richupload.aspx/Nivo%20skin%20etc?cid=18f973a04b9b1773&sc=documents&nl=1)
2. Images on my Skydrive (same as above)("Basic" = slide show #1/"Advantage"= slide show #2)(Each set each image number for the order in which they are displayed)
3. I would like to have Nivo in the body of a "Content" page.  Current design thought is that as Content it can be placed anywhere on an existing form or Content page.  If that is not possible then just have 2 pages 1 for each "Tour".

1. Image sizes can be modified to any size to make the Tour look good.
2. If you have any issues withe the SkyDrive please let me know.
3. I am open to any suggestions or thoughts that will make the tour look better

Any questions of needs just let me know... I really appreciate the help...

Thanks
Phill

Hi Rick,

I think I followed your instructions correctly.

BUT

I have tried to load the slider 2 ways... on a Content Page then on a Page Directly...

I got the same results for both scenarios....

The page shows the "Caption" bar of the image, but, it is just that as a thin line across the top of the screen. Occasionaly it will show about in inch of the image but never the whole thing.

Got any suggestions where to start looking?

Thanks

Hi Rick,

It wouldn't align properly for some reason on my local machine... but with fingers crossed and faith in your abilities I uploaded and installed it on the production server.. low and behold it worked perfectly.

I hate to keep asking but where would I go to change the image size as they are still rather big and for a tour it is not necessary for the user to preview every detail of a page.

I will look in the code tomorrow morning to see if I can use my own brain instead of yours to find the solution.

Thanks Rick

In the style-module there is a couple of lines that refer to the image size...

.theme-default #slider {
    margin:5px auto 25px auto;  /* top right bottom left */
    width:933px; /* Make sure your images are the same size   618 */
    height:700px; /* Make sure your images are the same size    246 */
}

Can I resize each of the image files then change these settings to match? 

Am I missing something else???

Are there any examples of what and how to implement this?  I cannot seem to locate any related content on Rick's web site.

Thanks Joe!
