Zentools slideshow

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

Hi - I've loaded two Zentools slideshows on the same page, but they appear one above the other instead of where they ought to be.
This is the page:
www.roberttearle.com/index.php/contact-us

This is the html:
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Robert Tearle Consulting</strong></p>
<p>Warnford Court, 29 Throgmorton Street, London EC2N 2AT<br />Principle office Tel: + 44 207 947 4142</p>
<p>{loadposition warnford}</p>
<p> <strong>Robert Tearle Consulting<br /></strong>1 Bell Street, Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6 1BU<br />Thames Valley office Tel: + 44 1628 421580</p>
<p>{loadposition maidenhead}</p>
<p>Click <a href="pdf/Robert-Tearle-Consulting.pdf" target="_blank">here</a> for instructions on how to find our Thames Valley Office.</p>

Any idea where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

So you want two different slide shows next to each other?

Hi Paul - thanks for getting back to me.

Not side by side. One above the other as per the html, and this screenshot I've cobbled together.

It doesn't matter where I put the text/slideshows in the html, the slideshows always appear right next to each other, as they appear on the live page.

Any ideas?

Hi Ian,

Tried wrapping the loadpositions inside a div?

Hi Paul - yes I did, but it didn't work.
I'll try again now, just to make sure it wasn't user error…
Thanks

Hmm - tried various different ways but none has worked. I may be doing it wrong...

This is the current version:

<div>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Robert Tearle Consulting</strong></p>
<p>Warnford Court, 29 Throgmorton Street, London EC2N 2AT<br />Principle office Tel: + 44 207 947 4142</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>{loadposition warnford}</p>
</div>

<div>
<p> <strong>Robert Tearle Consulting<br /></strong>1 Bell Street, Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6 1BU<br />Thames Valley office Tel: + 44 1628 421580</p>
</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<div>

<p>{loadposition maidenhead}</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Click <a href="pdf/Robert-Tearle-Consulting.pdf" target="_blank">here</a> for instructions on how to find our Thames Valley Office.</p>
</div>

What do you think?

Thanks

Hi Ian,

I think I will have to try it - as far as I'm aware nobody has asked about a page with two slideshows running at the same time

I can't re-produce this

Try changing the animation effect to fade

What version of zentools, template and plugin are you using?

This is working for me

If you copy and cut the existing content and paste in some text like I have does that make any difference?

Hi Paul - sorry for the slow reply.

Zen tools Version:1.13.7

Ah. Just gone to find template version and I'm getting an error I haven't seen before. I've been updating custom.css with no problem until now.

'Error
The template directory is not writable. Some features may not work.

Template folder not found.

Warning: ksort() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given in /home/robertte/public_html/administrator/components/com_templates/views/template/tmpl/default_tree.php on line 11

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/robertte/public_html/administrator/components/com_templates/views/template/tmpl/default_tree.php'

There's no image for the responsive template either.

What have I done?

Thanks

Hi

A warning doesn't always mean an error

What are the permissions for the file / folders?

Sorry Paul - total brain fade.

The template is OK. User meltdown.

Not sure what you mean by copy/paste. I've replaced existing text with dummy stuff, but the result is the same.

Thanks

Hi Paul

Template version 1.4.3
Zen tools 1.13.7
Not sure which plugin you mean - I can only see system zen animate, which has no version number.
J 3.4.1

I've changed the transition to fade, but no change.

Not sure what you mean about copy/pasting content.

I have however removed all content apart from the slideshows, and two lines of text:

{loadposition maidenhead}
xxxxxxxx
{loadposition warnford}
xxxxxx

Both lines of text appear above the slideshows.

Hmm - created a new page www.roberttearle.com/index.php/contact-test (so I can keep the live contact page roughly in order) in the hidden menu, and I now have text top and bottom, but still not where they ought to be.

Can we use www.roberttearle.com/index.php/contact-test from now on as the example page please.

What do you think?

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

Yep sure - doesn't matter on the page

Do you have any other slideshow modules you could instead of these as a test?

Looking at my site local version its the only thing different now and mine still displays as expected
