Hi! Now I have googled and searched this forum (for one hour!)for a simple tutorial on how to use RokSlideshow - and I can't find any! I really want to see what this module can do, but I have no clue on how to use it.
This is what I have done:
I have downloaded the 1.5 version and installed it. Then I enabled it. But what now?
I reckon' I have to write some code into an article and upload some pictures into images/stories/
I have read somewhere in the forum that there are good tutorials following the different templates, but I have searched and can't find which templates who have the RokSlideshow integrated.
Could someone please explain me how to use RokSlideshow? Thanks in advance
Hi, Mike!
Thanks for your answer. Sorry for posting so late, but I have been on a vacation for some days now
I still have some problem with understanding how this whole thing works. I understand the bit regarding
uploading pictures to images/stories, but how do I "tell" Joomla to show the pictures in an article, or is it only possible
to use RokSlideshow on the frontpage. I have enabled the module, but do I have to activate the module in a placeholder or what? And how do I do that?
I have downloaded an excellent plugin called AllVideos Reloaded, and it's so simple to show videos or mp3 in an article. Let's say I want to have a flv video file in my article - just upload the files in the folder (images/stories/ and insert {flv}name{/flv} where the 'name' is the name of your flv file for instance {flv}guitar{/flv} - it's so easy and straight forward. So I just don't understand how to use the Rokslideshow? It should be that easy in my opinion...! But probably I'm missing some basic info.
Is it a tutorial showing how to use this thing - it's easy to understand how RokZoom works, because it's a good tutorial
in the demo/template called Mediamogul. But why isn't there a tutorial/video showing how to use RokSlideshow. It's just
so frustrating for us newbees...!
Hi, again!
Finally I found out how to use this module. I think the default setting was 'left' under Details > Position. I changed it to Advert 1 in Mediamogul and then it worked - voila!
I have one question though:
I want to use Rokslideshow in an article, not on the frontpage. I have made an article and linked the Rokslideshow module to this article, but I can only see one small part of the pictures - i.e. the with is right, but the height is only 1/5 of what it should be. I believe that it has something to do with how the page is defined. Could someone explain to me how I fix this?
