Question about Nivo Slider

Hi to all

I changed the design of my site to the newer named "art-41businessblue3" (of course copied to another directory and name). The main reason is that I have to use nivo slider for Windows8 and Phone clients. In this skin nivo slider for Image Galleries is working, also I am able to change the layout.master file for replacing the static Header image by a nivo slider.

But all nivo slider elemnts are only visible if the user is signed in to the page. For anonymos users all nivo slider elements have the height of 0  and are not visible.

Can you please help me. Thanks a lot!

Peter

​then maybe someone could be of help.

Re: Question about Nivo Slider

Sorry for answering late, was to busy. After playing around a little bit with different designs, I recognized that it depends on the chosen design. So I only changed the design of th website to art-41businessblue2, also a nice design, and the  Nivo slider works for all Users (as you can see www.parnreiter.at/NivoTest.aspx). No Idea why but I found a few links, reporting a similar problem (not for mojoportal) and older versions of nivo.

Thanks a lot
Peter

Re: Question about Nivo Slider

Hi Peter,

How did you get Nivo Slider to work on just one page?

I'm new to mojoPortal so I would appreciate it if you could give me a step-by-step answer. 

Thanks

Ken

Re: Question about Nivo Slider

Hi Ken
Yes I got Nivo Slider working on my page ( http://www.parnreiter.at/feuer.aspx, http://www.parnreiter.at/startrails.aspx ), but as written above it depends a lot on the used skin. If I use the standard Design art-41businessblue2 it works fine, if I only change to art-41businessblue3 it does not work (only visible if user is logged in). If I change the Design back to art-41businessblue2 al works fine again. Strange, isn't it? Maybe it depends on my setup.
I also got the Nivo slider working in the Header section of the site, but I am not able to make the slider resizing correct in the Header section. In the main section of the page slider resizes very well for zooming in Browser Window or changing screen resolution to Tablet or Handy. So for the moment no slider in the Header section, if anybody can help me with this issue, Thanks a lot!
For the Header Section I changed the layout.Master file
<header class="art-header clearfix">
 <div class="art-shapes"> </div>
<%--PAP
<h1 class="art-headline" data-left="47.02%"><portal:sitetitle id="SiteTitle" runat="server" includestandardclasses="false" cssclass="art-headline"></portal:sitetitle>
</h1>
<h2 class="art-slogan" data-left="53.33%"><portal:siteslogan id="ss1" runat="server"></portal:siteslogan>
</h2>
--%>
<portal:NivoSlider ID="NivoSlider1" runat="server" ImageFolder='~/Data/Sites/1/skins/........' ImageWidth='1728px' config = "effect: 'slideInLeft',pauseTime:10000"  />
</header>
So for normal slide show's the only missing feature is that in the mojoPortal GUI there is no possibility to change the parameter (a lot of them could be found on http://docs.dev7studios.com/jquery-plugins/nivo-slider) of the slider.

See also our documentation about how to use Nivo Slider in the layout.master file of the skin to have a slide show in the header of every page for example

Re: Question about Nivo Slider

Hi Joe,

Yes - your tutorial for getting nivo slider working on every page is very good and I managed to get nivo slider working in this way just by following the explanation.

But my requirement is a bit different.
What I want to do is to have several different slideshows on several different pages.
At it's most granular, (and as I understand things so far) this would mean (for example) putting one or more iFrames on one page and having a different nivo-slider-slideshow in each iFrame.

And then, to avoid the problem of having one of the nivo slider instances take over the whole page - I want to be able to make each slideshow stay in its own box.

Thanks

Ken
