    Text wrap around RokGallery slideshow?

    Posted 9 years 3 months ago
    • I am using the rt_clarion theme in Joomla! I also am using the RokGallery component.

      I have an article and a RokGallery module displaying as a slideshow on a number of menu item pages. I would like to make the pictures in the slideshow 600x400, float that to the right, and have the text of the article wrap to the left of the image (total width of text and slideshow is 910px), and wrap below it if the text goes long. How can I get the text of the article to wrap around the slideshow from RokGallery?

    • you can load the module into an article using the loadposition plugin syntax.
      see this: docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_put_a_module_inside_an_article%3F

      surround the loadposition syntax with the as div that sets width and the float property.

      e.g.,
      <div class="width50 flatleft">{loadposition myposition}</div>

      You will need to change the width of the slices in the gallery to about 460px because this is not a responsive template that you are using.

    • Thank you very much–that seemed to work. But it looks like the arrows are missing on the slideshow. Any idea how I can get those back?

      Also, I am new to editing slices. Why do you say that they should be 460px wide? Would I have to edit each image to make the slice that wide, or is there a faster way, like making a change in the gallery settings?

    • Please disable all caching and compression until this issue is resolved. (e.g.Joomla, caching, RokBooster or RokGzipper plugins or the Gantry Gzipper or the Less compiler in the "Advanced" tab of template manager and any 3rd party caching extensions).

    • Thanks for the reply. It's odd that the arrows show up on the homepage where the images are 910x500, but not on the pages where the rokgallery module is inserted in an article, where the images are 600x400. Any idea why?

    • Thanks for your response.

      In Global Configuration/System, the caching is disabled.

      In Maintenance, I have cleared the cache in Clear Cache, and I have Purged Expired Cache.

      In Extension Manager, I have purged the cache.

      In Template Manager, the cache settings are disabled.

      The problem is persisting. Are there other places for me to disable the cache, and how can I tell if caching is enabled?
