Problem with slideshow

[bikerman]

Hi,
I'm using Phoca Gallery 4.2.1 on Joomla 3.4.4. The gallery itself seems fine, but I'm having trouble displaying a slideshow in an article. I'm using the {pgslideshow id==xx|height=xx|width=xx} syntax in the article. The images come up OK, and the slideshow seems to work generally, but I can't get the description to display. I've tried different settings for desc= (I've tried peekaboo, allways, ondemand etc). I've tried altering the height and width but nothing. What I DO see is a small black rectangle appearing at the bottom of the image area when I mouseover the image when set to peekaboo. I'm thinking that it is trying to pull the description up but some setting somewhere is causing it to display out of bounds. I'll post the url which should take you directly to the section in the article I'm talking about.
Otherwise I'm very happy with Phoca Gallery = thanks for keeping such a quality product free - it really makes a difference to those who maintain sites for interest rather than for money
Best wishes
Chris.

Hi bikerman,

What I DO see is a small black rectangle appearing at the bottom of the image area when I mouseover the image when set to peekaboo

As I'm not know about these parameters, I searched for this "black rectangle". It's hard coded respectively set in the options > "element.style"

Code: Select all

element.style {
    color: white;
    height: 100%;
    left: 0;
    padding-bottom: 4px;
    padding-left: 4px;
    padding-right: 4px;
    padding-top: 4px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    width: 92px;}

Therefore I tried with CSS and put it at the end of the template.css:

Code: Select all

.descpanelfg {  
position: absolute;  
margin-top:-30px;  
background-color:#fff !important;
color:red !important;
width:600px !important;
padding-top: 130px; !important;
line-height:10px;}

How it looks: http://imgur.com/KlYaZKZ
Still I see this black rectangle, when I hover of it. Above CSS just an idea

Kind regards, Christine

Thanks Christine. Yep that certainly offers a solution. I've tried in on the main template css file and it works fine.
Thanks for the help
