Thanks for the tip.

I'm working my way through this stuff.

Sofar I noticed 2 CSS files related to this extension.
Based on their names and locations, one is the 'original' that comes with Nivo Slider. I also found some examples of html code. For example when I would use this in articles.

However, when looking back in this post, their appear to be CSS rules of which I did not found any documentation. For example the part with $ID.
Second, I find it difficult to see the effect of a specific parameter and value. For example the effect of a minus value.

Both is my lack of knowledge - I'm sure.

Don't consider this a dis-respect for your support:
But than again - it's not my intention to be an expert on the available web technologies and its extensions that's developed by companies like yours.

I just would like to work with it - not do a (re)code of the whole...

I will try figuring things out. If somebody could point me to some documentation how this all links together, that would be nice...

{$id} predefined variable is used that create custom CSS rules for specific module instance. The variable contains ID of module container. About CSS properties which starts with "-", usually it is browser specific properties. You can find some information about it in a search engine, it is not Joomla! extensions topic.

Thanks for the explenation.
What is the syntax when working with {id$}?
The examples I have seen sofar are all starting with 'div{id$}_wrapper'.
Is this the way it works?

Reason for asking is that I have configured one module with image slider.
Which does not work as expected.
This particular module should behave differently than the other ones.

It points to a different folder with 5 times the same image.
Each with a different sequence number going from 1 to 5.
The folder also contains a different INI-file.
Since clicking on the URL opens a new tab with the correct URL, I assume that everything is pointing to the right folder, the right ini-file and within the ini-file, the right jpg files.

The CSS filter I added to make sure it behaves different than the rest is:
DIV{$id}_wrapper .nivo-caption
{
text-align: center;
color: #0000FF;
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
opacity: 1 !important;
filter: alpha(opacity=100) !important;
-ms-filter: "alpha(opacity=100)" !important;
}

I selected random effects in the config panel. However nothing happens.
What could be wrong?

One other question I have is:
The 'Nivo Slider' that can be downloaded from Dev7studios has 16 transitions.
Which is 7 more than the ones in the extension.
Is there a way to update the extension?

We have updated "ARI Image Slider" module. Now it supports all transition effects provided by the latest version of NivoSlider jQuery plugin.

About INI file, it should be located in image folder. Name of INI file can be specified in module settings. If INI file doesn't work it can be a problem with INI file (if it has incorrect format). If you provide temporary access to your Joomla! backend by email and indicate what doesn't work, we will try to help you.

"ARI Image Slider" module has the next HTML layout:



Where [SLIDER_ID] is unique ID for each module instance. {$id} predefined variable is replaced with next value #[SLIDER_ID]. For example if module has module ID equals to 56, [SLIDER_ID] will be ais_56 and {$id} variable will be replaced with #ais_56 value.

I have installed the updated module.

An e-mail with the credentials is on his way. The subject field contains the name of this thread. The body is referring to the #<message-id> of the previous response.

What's not working is the middle of the image as shown in the jpeg of the attached zip file. This jpeg shows the top of the web page.
There are 5 images. The image in the middle should show simular behavior as it's neighbor on the left. The difference is no captive text and preserve the shadow around the image.

However, most of the time, there are no transitions effects. Sometimes there are.
I tried using a different INI-filename with all lower case letters.
Moreover, I tried the use of $id to make sure there is no 'conflict-of-intrest' in CSS rules with the other modules.

Thanks for looking into this!

Try now please.
