As I stated in the previous reply, please PM me a site URL (or post it here) so I can take a look at it while its working/not working and see if its an easy fix.
A few ideas for you guys to improve this module...
- Change slide feature to show text from right to left (instead of top to bottom as it is now).
- Add left and right arrows so users can scroll back and forth manually.
- Give admin the ability to change the time between slides.
- Ability to run multiple sliders showing different info, I want one slider for forums 1-3, another for 4-6, and another one for the CMS articles.
- Ability to load graphics within the admin panel.
- Scaling attachment background images - reduce size to fit the width at least.
- Size configurable in the admin control, not the theme variables.
A couple of those are already in the Pro version. Others are already on the drawing table for a future version. The rest I will definitely take into consideration for a future version. Thanks!
This is a "must have" in pro version. I'd like to have it soon
Another thing: the option to resize the height and width of textblock and the transparency.
You can already resize the width of the textblock via stylevars. The height is purely based on the height of the slider (left and right content) or the amount of content (top content). Opacity is hardset, but I could possibly add that as a stylevar as well.
As far as the prev/next and all that, its in the plans for v3, which I am planning to be a major overhaul of the entire thing. I will say its in the design stages, and I hope to be in the development stages sometime soon. It'll probably still be awhile before its ready though, unfortunately.
