SOLVED: Full width Zentools slideshow?

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

Is it possible to have a Zentools slideshow (not the background slideshow managed by the Venture template) display at full width in the Venture template?

I have a WIP site here:
nearmiddlefar.com/

I created a test Zentools slideshow that is published to all pages in the grid1 position, and I have the grid1 row set to fullwidth in the Venture template settings. But the Zentools slideshow does not display full width like some of the other rows in the template.

I think I have all the settings correct within Zentools: Full width image size is set to 'yes', and image resize is set to 'no'. My images are wide enough to display full width.

I would like to know if the problem is somewhere in my settings, if I need to add some custom CSS, or if what I want to do (have a fullwidth Zentools slideshow in the Venture template) is just not currently possible.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Paul,

Making that row full width should do what you need. I looked in the markup but cant see the fullwidth class in the markup.

Can you double check?

Thanks

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for your help on this. I have been continuing to work on this and testing some different ideas, and I fear I may have had things in a wrong state when you checked. If so I am sorry about that.

I have now put things back the way they were originally when I started this thread - can you or someone on your team please check again?

Thanks again,

paul

Hi

Can you try adding these to your custom code

#grid1wrap .grid-row {padding: 0px;}
#grid1wrap .fullwidth .zen-container {max-width: 100%;}

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for responding. I tried what you suggested but unfortunately it didn't work. I kept experimenting and I finally got it to display full width by using a module class suffix:

.fullwidth-slideshow {
margin: 0px -40px;
}

Do you think that's an acceptable solution?

Best,

paul

Sorry I had extra spaces this is what it should have been

#grid1wrap.grid-row {padding: 0px;}
#grid1wrap.fullwidth .zen-container {max-width: 100%;}

Cheers

I noticed there was some styling commented out that I had given you that didn't work

Was that resolved ok in the end?
