Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

[Pet Herbal Remedies]

I am looking at the site which is the link in your signature in a post above this:

The div id is hard coding so you have the find the file to control this:

Look for this: master0

1. add: margin:auto;

If you cant find the right .php file...

Thank you I made the changes in the css file and that worked!

[haredo]

You are most welcome, glad the .css id was the fix for the solution..

I'm back again...

For some reason I can't get the WYSIWYG editor to work when I'm in the define pages editor. I think it may be because I added the script coding as

<script type="text/javascript" src="fade.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)

new fadeshow(fadeimages, 700, 450, 0, 3000, 0 )

</script>

It's driving me crazy why this is. I've tried removing the script in file manager but I still can't get the WYSIWYG editor. And I checked define main page status and it's "1". I'm thoroughly stumped. Any help much much appreciated, Lynn

I've realized now that I have the same problem in my EZ Pages so I don't think this has anything to do with the Ultimate Fade Slider. I'll post elsewhere.

I have installed this but I have a problem with it. I added the code to define_main_page and displays my images like it should do. The problem is when I make my window smaller, the slideshow stays the same size and doesnt resize with the window. Also on screens with different resolutions it doesn't seem to change size so it ends up looking all wrong.

A link to see this in action? The slideshow is set at a particular pixel size (defined by you), and is not going to shrink or expand if you change the window size.

I have PMed you the link. Notice how when you change the page size. It pushes all the blocks on the right apart. I am not sure if it is becuase I edited the mainwrapper part in my CSS template from 100% to 60%. I did this because I didn't want my template filling up the whole screen. Although I have seen other websites who use this slideshow module with a template that doesn't fill up the whole screen.

[gjh42]

Your slideshow and its images are set to a width that can only work in big widescreen monitors. You have your page set at 60% of the window, which looks fine on a big monitor, but will become too narrow to use regardless of the slideshow in small windows, while leaving lots of blank space on either side. Change the % to a fixed width, or set a min-width large enough that the site won't shrink too much.
Then resize your images to fit comfortably. I think it is unnecessary to blast your visitors with a huge "secure site" slideshow in the most prime real estate on your homepage. Are you selling SSL certificates, or something else?

[Soldierxx]

That image is temporary for testing purposes. The problem is that all the blank space on the sides should get smaller and smaller depending on the resolution and size of the window. With mine, it keeps the blank space the same size which is why everything goes out of align. I think its a template problem now actually. I must need to edit something else as well as mainwrapper.

[gjh42]

All you need to edit is #mainWrapper.

#mainWrapper {
background-color: #f8f2f2;
text-align: left;
width: 60%;
min-width: 900px;
vertical-align: top;
}

How wide is your monitor? Set min-width so that the page never gets narrower than you need to fit the info. If you always want the slideshow to exactly fit the center column, you need to set a fixed px width here.
