Is there a way to automatically link the images to their counterpart article and use the introtext as a caption? Basically the images I have in the folder are numbered by the article number, which I want to link to that article & use its introtext.

Essentially I want it to look like the banner at the top of my site scifivision.com, but I'm looking for a new module to do it with.

Hello,

"ARI Image Slider" doesn't support this ability. We can update "ARI Smart Content" extension (it contains "ARI Smart Content - Nivo Slider" module) and add ability to use articles as data source for the slider. "Full article image" (or "Intro Image" if "Full Article Image" is not defined) from article settings will be used as image for slider, intro text will be used as description for image and article will be opened when a user clicks by the image.

Ok, I just want to make sure of two things before I pay for it, because I have had this issue with other sliders - is the rest of it built the same? Because I need the ability to take the photo from a separate folder, not the article. I also need to be able to choose articles, which was why listing the images in the text file works well for me. Most sliders have the option to chose all, featured, or not featured, which won't work for me, because I want to be able to unfeature articles to hide from my front page without affecting the slider.

We offer to work only with articles and get image from article settings, it will not get files from local folders and search articles based on file names.

Hello,

I wanted to try the Nivo Slider but the caption does not work. Have created description.ini with content TITLE and DESCRIPTION but also one with only DESCRIPTION as content.



What did I do wrong?

If you use "ARI Smart Content - Nivo Slider", use CSV file. Read more about it here.
