We have s5_frontpageslide on our site (www.fodradio.org), with Joomla 1.5.6.  Tonight I have started the upgrade to 1.5.9, but find that the frontpageslide isn't working properly anymore on my test site.

The button height parameters aren't working, I get seven buttons showing even though there are only six modules published into the positions, and the graphics (repeatback.jpg and arrow.jpg) aren't showing.

As my membership has now been reduced to "free" I can no longer see the forums for the extension, or download any upgrade.

Advice please?

Hello,

Your member status is a free member.  Please upgrade to a paid status and post in the correct forum board to receive support.

Thanks,

Ok - I understand that you will only provide support to currently paying members.  That's reasonable business decision, so fair enough.

I'm not a Joomla developer earning money on this, I used it as part of my volunteer work with the not-for-profit local community radio station.  We can't afford to pay another $45 each time a bug comes up in the software, so I guess we'll just have to junk the module  and hope nothing goes wrong with the rest of the Shape5 things we have used.

For future reference though, you could have told me if there is a solution already found for this problem - I'd have hated to pay up and then find that this problem was still going to be there.

I am having the same problem and as yet have been given no solution.  I am waiting patiently for some help.  And my membership is current.

I am having the same problem with Joomla 1.5.9.

Hey Guys,

Can either of you PM login access to your site, FTP and Joomla?  If so I can see what the problem is and update this for you and if our site files need updating patch these also.

Thanks!

SOLUTION:

Change the following lines in modules/mod_s5_frontpageslide/mod_s5_frontpageslide.php:

FROM:
document.write('<style type="text/css">#s5_button_frame ul li {color:<?php echo $s5_fontcolor ?>;line-height:<?php echo $lineheight ?>;height:<?php echo $buttonheight ?>;background:<?php echo $s5_buttoncolor ?> url(<?php echo $s5_buttonimage ?>) repeat-x;}</style>');
TO:
document.write("<style type='text/css'>#s5_button_frame ul li {color:<?php echo $s5_fontcolor ?>;line-height:<?php echo $lineheight ?>;height:<?php echo $buttonheight ?>;background:<?php echo $s5_buttoncolor ?> url(<?php echo $s5_buttonimage ?>) repeat-x;}</style>");

FROM:
document.write('<style type="text/css">#s5_button_frame ul li:hover, #s5_button_frame ul li.over {color:<?php echo $s5_fontcolor ?>;background:<?php echo $s5_hovercolor ?> url(<?php echo $s5_hoverimage ?>) no-repeat right;}</style>');
TO:
document.write("<style type='text/css'>#s5_button_frame ul li:hover, #s5_button_frame ul li.over {color:<?php echo $s5_fontcolor ?>;background:<?php echo $s5_hovercolor ?> url(<?php echo $s5_hoverimage ?>) no-repeat right;}</style>");

FROM:
document.write('<style type="text/css">#s5_button_frame ul li.s5_fsfirst {color:<?php echo $s5_fontcolor ?>;border-top:1px solid <?php if ($iss_ie6 == "yes") { ?>none<?php } else {?>transparent<?php } ?>;background:<?php echo $s5_buttoncolor ?>;}</style>');
TO:
document.write("<style type='text/css'>#s5_button_frame ul li.s5_fsfirst {color:<?php echo $s5_fontcolor ?>;border-top:1px solid <?php if ($iss_ie6 == "yes") { ?>none<?php } else {?>transparent<?php } ?>;background:<?php echo $s5_buttoncolor ?>;}</style>");

FROM:
document.write('<style type="text/css">#s5_button_frame ul li.s5_fsfirst:hover, #s5_button_frame ul li.s5_fsfirst.over {color:<?php echo $s5_fontcolor ?>;background:<?php echo $s5_hovercolor ?> url(<?php echo $s5_hoverimage ?>) no-repeat right;}</style>');
TO:
document.write("<style type='text/css'>#s5_button_frame ul li.s5_fsfirst:hover, #s5_button_frame ul li.s5_fsfirst.over {color:<?php echo $s5_fontcolor ?>;background:<?php echo $s5_hovercolor ?> url(<?php echo $s5_hoverimage ?>) no-repeat right;}</style>");
