Zentools 2 Carousel

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

Hi,

I use a ZT2 carousel to show some property on my homepage. The content is K2 and I selected 2 categories as source, only show featured. The module takes not only the featured items, it takes some not featured items.
I played with several settings to see if that makes a difference, but no.
When I select Items and select a few from an endless list it don't work properly either. It got nothing to do with cache, it's totally empty. What's wrong?

Grtz,
Dick

Hi Dick,

Are you using the latest version of the module?

If you have did you compile css in the module?

Cheers

Hi Paul,

Yes, I installed the latest version this morning, still a wrong selection of items...
And yes, I pushed the button Custom Custom CSS. No result.

I hope you and development will find out what's wrong. It would be very nice if I can decide which accommodation will be on my frontpage. Keep me informed please Paul!
Thanks for your effort so far.

Grtz,
Dick

Will keep you posted - you could in the mean time perhaps just manually select items rather than use the non working featured option ?

Yes, but manually selecting doesn't work either. It picks randomly items from the category, so I can't infulence it anyhow.

Hi

In the mean time can you not select from items instead of categories so you select each k2 item individually?

I can select them, but in the front end it shows different items from that category, not only/all the items I selected.

Hi

I don't get that using the settings I had selected - where I don't use categories either in the content source or the content option as per the screenshot

I'll need to check in the developers regarding features - if you need the ability to select k2 content urgently please create a ticket

The featured glitch will take longer to resolve

sorry for the glitches on this

Looks liek we need to fix the logic in the helper.

I have logged this in the tracker and will get a fix later this week.

Apologies for the trouble.
