Hi. Is there A tutorial for Ari image slider? specifically I'm interested on explanations on how to add titles to images in the ARI Image Slider. I'm looking for an elaboration on the issue, beyond what is given in the Module page which is:
You can also define titles and redirect links for images. For this place INI file with name from 'Description file' parameter in necessary folder with images. Sample INI file you can download here. In [DESCRIPTION] section place image file name and title for image in the following format: [file_name]=[title]. Where [file_name] is image file name and [title] is image title. In [LINK] section place image file name and link for image in the following format: [file_name]=[link]. Where [file_name] is image file name and [link] is image title. If you use non-english characters in INI file, save this file in UTF-8 encoding.

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

You can find information how to use the module in 'Description' field on module settings page. It also contain link to sample of INI file with descriptions and redirect links. For example if you want to load images from <joomla_directory>/images/slides/ folder and this folder contains photo01.jpg and photo02.jpg files and you want to define descriptions and redirect links for these files, set "Image path" parameter to "images/slides", create ariimageslider.ini file with the following content:

[DESCRIPTION]
photo01.jpg="Photo 01"
photo02.jpg="Photo 02"
[LINK]
photo01.jpg="www.google.com"
photo02.jpg="www.ari-soft.com"

and place this file to <joomla_directory>/images/slides/ folder.

Thank you very much.
It looks very clear. just a question regarding the Link section of the ini file:

considering the above examples of web-links, should the link simply refer just to the domain name of my website [as it is implied by your example], which is my homepage, or a more elaborate web path is necessary [my gallery is not in my homepage, it is located at a different page within my website]
Thanks for any help

You are welcome. It's just a sample, you can use any links which you want. For example you can use the following link:



or if you want to use relative link to your site, you can enter it in the following way:

Jumpoing on to this I have the following file in file

[LINK]
01-goodluckr.jpg="www.google.com"

That corresponds to a picture in the images folder.

When the user clicks that picture a small window opens but doesn't open the page?

the site is www.prentonhighschool.co.uk in case anyone wanted to look!

Thanks
