Hello all

Is there an article and image scroller/rotator that JUST WORKS with Seblod? I've tried a few as well as the advice given on Seblod forums, but it's a headache with all the hacking and alterations. Sometimes I get it working one day and the next it's just off. At times I get it to work only partially. It is very frustrating. I'm willing to pay for a more consistent and permanent WORKING solution.

Kind regards

Hello kromoadv

Thanks for your reply. I will certainly have a look at this. Do you have some pointers as to how to configure it for Seblod? For instance, to show images from list type custom template.

Hello Edwin,

sorry, i only tried it with a field x in a standard content type. 

I'm on my mobile right now and i can't post the configuration.

I can try later or tomorrow if you need.

Regards.

Hi Edwin,

I'm back... ;)

First of all put your Fotorama css in templates/seb_one/css

Than create a folder js in templates/seb_one and put your Fotorama js in it.

You just have to call the raw field x with no formatting, wrap it into a div with required class="fotorama" and configure it according with fotorama instructions and of course your needs:

<?php 
// No Direct Access
defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die;
?>

<?php
   $document =& JFactory::getDocument();
   $document->addStyleSheet(JURI::base().'templates/'. $this->template. "/css/fotorama/fotorama.css");
   $document->addScript( JURI::root( true ).'/templates/'.$this->template.'/js/fotorama/fotorama.js' );
?>

<div class="fotorama" data-nav="thumbs" data-fit="scaledown" data-transition="dissolve" data-allowfullscreen="native" data-loop="true" data-width="940" data-ratio="940/512" data-max-width="100%" data-arrows="true" data-click="true" data-swipe="true" data-trackpad="true">
   <?php foreach($cck->get( 'your_field_x' )->value as $fx){ ?>
     <a href="/<?php echo $fx->value; ?>" data-caption="<b><?php echo $fx->image_title; ?></b> - <?php echo $fx->image_alt; ?>">
       <img src="/<?php echo $fx->thumb2; ?>" alt="<?php echo $fx->image_alt; ?>" title ="<?php echo $fx->image_title; ?>" width="118" height="64" />
     </a>
   <?php } ?>
</div>

In my case this is the override of mainbody position of my custom content type: templates/seb_one/positions/my_content_type/content/mainbody.php

Maybe you could consider RocketTheme RokSprocket. It allows Seblod as content provider, although it only shows 4 elements of your choice: Title, Text, Image and Link.
