A new module called Easy Slider has been published on EDC (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/sliders-scrollers-tabs/275.html)
I hope you enjoy it... :)
-
Congratulations nikos and thanks for sharing it with the community as I know that you worked hard on it.
Very nice and useful module.
-
Perfect :)
-
Very nice. :)

Thanks a lot all of you for your kind and nice comments. It is true that was a difficult, to develop module, as it had many parameters to be developed. I feel very satisfied after this work, because i have made much more practice on PHP, Javascript and CSS and my "payment" is that people is going to use it.
-
Truly Perfect!
-
Bravo Nicko!
Keep going.
It's a great module and useful!

A manual in English about Easy Slider there is on Wiki Elxis at http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Easy_Slider and i will publish it also in Greek.
Easy Slider could be used in various kinds of sites. For example if you have an E-shop site you can show on header the top 6 products. If any one wants to slide more than 6 content items, I could tell what modifications has to do on module files.
-
how can i set the sliding speed more than 2500 ?
-
Open with an editor as PSPad the file mod_easyslider.xml and you will see in line 40 the follow parameter
<param name="easy_speed" type="list" default="800" label="CX_MODEASY_SPEED" description="CX_MODEASY_SPEED_DESC">
<option value="400">400</option>
<option value="500">500</option>
<option value="600">600</option>
<option value="700">700</option>
<option value="800">800</option>
<option value="900">900</option>
<option value="1000">1000</option>
<option value="1100">1100</option>
<option value="1200">1200</option>
<option value="1300">1300</option>
<option value="1400">1400</option>
<option value="1500">1500</option>
<option value="1600">1600</option>
<option value="1700">1700</option>
<option value="1800">1800</option>
<option value="1900">1900</option>
<option value="2000">2000</option>
<option value="2100">2100</option>
<option value="2200">2200</option>
<option value="2300">2300</option>
<option value="2400">2400</option>
<option value="2500">2500</option>
</param>
There after last value <option value="2500">2500</option> you can add as more values you like (example: <option value="3000">3000</option>). Save the file and you are ready.

The problem with the pause is here:
Nikos change this in mod.easyslider.php
line 113
pause: <?php echo $easy_speed; ?>,
to
pause: <?php echo $easy_pause; ?>,
-
Does Easy Slider support eBlog items (posts) ??

You are right! My mistake and i will correct it. Bravo Gianni and thanks for your remark.
-
Just now I published on EDC the version 1.1 of Easy Slider which includes the above correction and has also a right validation of value for the slider background color. In new version you will find also larger range of values for sliding speed and sliding pause into module parameters.
Note: Previous version which had the above typography mistake, was working and works, because gives as value to sliding pause parameter, equal with the value of sliding speed parameter.
-
Nice, thanks!
-

If you copy and paste manually text of eblog posts into content items (6 max) of module, yes you can say that supports it.
-
Thanks !! :D
-
Bravo Nicko Keep going! ;)
-
Thanks Boys! :D
-
An updated version 1.2 has been published on EDC with more functions.
-
What's new Nicko ?
-
What's new Nicko ?
At the latest version 1.2 have been added new functions as
1. It can slide 12 content items than 6 from previous version
2. Has been added alternate text for images and more possibilities of links combination (read module instructions for this)
3. Has been added numeric sliding navigation, apart arrows
4. Possibility to show or hide navigation
5. Possibility of display at the same time and same page double slider with different parameters each one. Example: One horizontal slider and one vertical.
6. Partial and selective display among 12 content items
7. A useful possibility to avoid javascript conflict so to be able to work normally with applications like IOS Gallery, IOS Downloads, IOS eshop e.t.c.
See demo here (http://demo.osw.gr/en/)

Very nice. Good work nikos!

It's really nice! Bravo.

Thank you boys! :D

thanks!!!

hi Nikos,
i have 3 questions regarding your module easy slider :
1. TEXTAREA: how to allow html tags?
2. The last slide - when "continuous sliding" is enabled, after sliding last slide, there's an empty window for a little while, can this be done "continuous" to the 1 slide?
3. aren't you planning to make the text area multilingual?
OTHERWISE Great module.
Thanks.
-
Dear jancikt
1. On text area you can insert or type just clear text and nothing more and answering on 3rd question you can insert or type text in any language
2. I have noticed this you mentioned only on vertical sliding but is not anything important, to try fix it.
In any case when i will find the solution i will let you know as i will publish an updated version.

Thanks for the respond nikos.
Shame you can not insert html tags, the module would become more useful if one can make text in custom styling.
Translation - yes you can type text in any language but if you want to display multilingual content, then you have to publish another copy of the module in different language ( which is not a problem - this was just an idea to make it easier.)
-
If you see here (http://cssglobe.com/post/5780/easy-slider-17-numeric-navigation-jquery-slider) where is the source code of developer, and you look down on demos he has made it to slide only images. So the text and title sliding was a plus which i added on this and i created the final module. And difficulty was that i had to make combination from both of versions (1.5 and 1.7).
An idea on this you say could be to make the module in such way so to slide content items or eblog content items from Elxis. But beleive me is hard job to do it and the fact that i did it in this way for me is enough for the time. Maybe in another future version to do it, but i work now on other useful projects, which i will publish soon.
-
no problem nikos :)
it was just an idea which would of course help me and possibly the others.
I will make my own way to reach the result.
wishing you nice day.
-
If you do it and can be useful for all, publish it on EDC (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/). Good luck ;)

Hi! I finally test the Easy slider, and it is cool!
But I have a small problem (don't know if it is exactly problem...)
So I paste link Read more, but it doesn't work - it didn't appear such a thin as read more or something... http://simoron.eu/
Dot't know if the problem is by me...
-
You load jQuery twice in that page, one having version 1.2.3 an an other one 1.3.2. You also load some other javascript files. There is surely a javascript conflict. Try to unpublish modules one-by-one to find out which one causes the trouble. Some modules have parameters that ask you if you wish to load jquery or not. You could load jquery once in your template's index.php file and nto inside the modules.
-
Thanks!
That was exactly the problem, i havent update my IOS Gallery Component... That was the problem.
Thank you!
-
Something else that I find - when you reload the page on the Easy Slider there is no text. You must wait the time that you have set as pause to see the first text.
Is it possible to make when reload the page the first (or random) text from the Easy slider to show without waiting the pause time?

As i saw you have set a long period pause time and is logic that the effect will start after this period time passes, or will be repeated after every period pause time. So this you want, can not be done (But if you set a short pause time it will start at once after page reload).
-
Thanks for the quick answer! :)
-
i install easy slider,when i activate it on VERTICAL,no image coming,once i activate horizontal images shown,what is problem may be.please some body guide me.waiting for your reply
-
Check your module settings and try again. Easy Slider is a well tested module and works fine for this is made.
Look at my demo site (http://www.osw.gr/en/elxis-extensions/modules/easy-slider.html) where i have set at the same instance and module position, Horizontal and Vertical Sliding.
-
thanks for quick reply.i checked number of times,but fail.it was working before perfectly,but i don't guess what happen and it stop.do you think there is some problems for other module.
i uninstall and then re install many time but the problem is same.
thanks
-
I can not help you more in blind supposing what you may face. Give me a live link to see and maybe i can find out the problem.
-
The issue caused because of javascript conflict.
-
Probable and very usual problem, but if he will not tell us what other extensions are running at the same instance we are guessing in blind.
-
We have to imagine some times the issues! :)
-
Maybe, but my opinion is to propose to users who they post their questions to be more specific and providing us more information about, in order to answer them better and faster. A similar question for other module, the same user has posted also here (https://forum.elxis.org/index.php?topic=7433.0#new) and i can not imagine.
-
Totally agree! That's why you might have seen telling "I am not a magician" in my replies.
