Slideshow CSS changed from D6 to D7?

Hey,

Setting up Great White and it looks like the slideshow format has changed from D6 to D7 so the css doesn't work? Or have I got something set up wrong? Site is at http://pureoutside.com/labs/explorer/ right now.

Thanks!
Ross

Are you using the development version of Views Slideshow, or the alpha1? If alpha1, try switching over to the development version. The alpha currently has problems with the pager, unfortunately - the active class is broken.

Switching over to the Dev release worked. The active class doesn't work in the alpha1.

I've still got an issue with the text and image style in the pager though http://pureoutside.com/labs/explorer/

The image is in the top left and the text appears below. Any ideas?

If you haven't already done so aryabrijeshkumar, switch over the development release of the Views Slideshow module. I'll need to look at your site to determine what's going on with the styling issues, if you can share the link with me.

Hey Rob, could you check mine out? http://pureoutside.com/ As soon as I have longer than one line for the title of an article in the slideshow, it throws the whole alignment out of wack.

Thanks,
Ross

Hm, this might actually be a side effect of the design and way I had to layout the elements in Views Slideshow - there's going to be a limit on how much text can be included no matter what. Looking at the site I see you're not using long titles at the moment, but there is a limit on the height of the title's containing div (so if the title takes up more than 240px of vertical space it's going to cause some issues). You could try adding the following to the stylesheet, and tweaking the height value:

.view-slideshow .views_slideshow_main .views-field-title {
height: 240px;
}

Thanks for the reply Rob. I decided to take the text out all together and just use the small images for the pages. It was going to be too much work to get long titles to fit in there without trimming them.

Thanks,
Ross
