Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone could tell me how you get an image in the image slide extension to show text? I have tried inserting text in Module and Image Setting tabs but I can't get the text to appear.

thanks

Can anyone help with this?

Hello,

You can either show images by using URLs in the module admin or you can publish modules to the image slide module and then with custom HTML input image paths and other HTML to show text. 

So in order to get text on your images you can either use an image program to put text on your images for the first method I mentioned of just showing images.  Or you can do some HTML coding and first add and image URL to a new custom HTML module and then add text to it with additional HTML.

Regards,

I have been looking at the settings for this and was wondering if anyone can explain why there is the option:

Enable or Disable the slide text

In the module manager for the image slide but it doesn't show the slide text, even when enabled? Is it possible that having an option to layer text over an image could be introduced for this?

Are you sure you are using the Image Slide module?  The Image and Content Fader module has this option

It is the S5 Image and Content Fader v3 I am referring too, apologies, and this does say that there should be a text appearing for the images I have up.

Oh ok, can you post a URL of this so I can take a look?

Thanks

It's www.fifeflyersihc.co.uk

Hmm ok yeah its not even outputting it in the HTML code.  I would check your Image URLs first.  It doesn't appear the images are working either.  If you can PM me Joomla login details I can take a further look for you too.

Thanks,

Ok to fix this open up:

.jdGallery .slideInfoZone {
    display: none !important;
}

template.css line 1105

and change it to:

.jdGallery .slideInfoZone {
    height:72px !important;
}
