Setting Module Slider to closed for default

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi Friends,

I've created a couple of slider modules, and when I load the pages, they show as open, and only close when I click the arrow. I want them to load closed and only open when clicked. Where is this setting?

Thanks as always!

Hi

Do you have a link for the page?

Cheers

Hi, thanks, just circling back to this
www.bruce-king.com/ebnetnew/research/straw-bale-test-program

I would like the default setting on sliding modules to be closed throughout the site, and don't know where to find this switch...

Can you attach a screenshot of the accordion settings you have?

That is in the menu tab of the template settings

ah sorry I thought you were referring to the accordion but it is the zen slider as you said

As far as I'm aware there is no setting or trigger to make these closed - I will need to check and get back to you

Thanks for checking on this, I wonder how it got set to opened in the first place. The other templates I've worked with all came with it closed as default.

Wondering if it was something I did wrong.

The problem is there are different forms of slider type modules

Zentools accordion, a menu accordion and the zen slider

There are options for the first two but not the slider

At the moment I think its unlikely we will be able to control the open and close state given they are a module style.

That is a major bummer - I may have to switch to another template and I'd really hate to do that, given all the hours I've put in to this one.

Any chance you can point me to the file where I can hack it? I would not hold you guys responsible for my screw ups in any way, and will back it all up before making any attempts.

thanks.

I don't know the answer to this one so will check for you

It will probably be after the weekend before I hear back

Can you try adding this line

.slide-content {display:none}

Excellent! It worked!

Now the little arrows are pointing the wrong way, can you tell me where to switch them around?

You are the best.

Without changing some code in the module itself I'd reverse the icons so down is up and vice versa

.zen-icon-chevron-up:before {
content: "\f078";
}

.zen-icon-chevron-down:before {
content: "\f077";
}
