Title: Content Slider module
Post by: xmanhattan on May 03, 2019, 12:49:35

Hello all,

I am trying to use Content Slider on the flex template to rotate text from a category but I think that there is a problem with the css because all of the text appears larger and overlaps the container.

When I display the content from the same category in the position where I am trying to use Content Slider, the text appears correctly.

I tried reducing the width to 250 and then to 200 but that does not work.  I have also tried changing the font sizes to
font-size: 0.9em; and line-height:1.0em; and added word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word;
but it still looks terrible.

Is anyone else using this and what changes did you make if any to mod_cslider.css?

Wait, I will make an improved version.

I fixed the title, fix loading jQuery, I made the module responsive (removed the "Width" parameter), added 2 more styles, improved compatibility to Elxis 5.x,  and made a few others improvements. I released the changes as version 1.1 which you can download from EDC (https://www.elxis.net/edc/effects/84.html)

I updated the module on the client site and made some minor changes to their template modifications file.
There is still a minor problem with h2. 
I am not sure how this works as it looks like it bounces back the text and causing the font to display garbled text.

Hit control+f5 to refresh browser's cache. Use one of the 12 styles, not the custom one.

Also remove your css, use version 1.1 exactly as it is. It should be displayed fine.

Removed the custom css and changed from custom to style 5 but it still does not show properly.

Peter the side column is too narrow! This module needs wider space (at least 500px)

Ok, I will see if there is anything I can do with it and disable it for the moment.
Thank you for trying datahell!
