flex slider

[pizzazz]

Hi

I know flex slider is a feature that is not maintained by Pablo software, but there is a newer version on the WEB available for download.
Unfortunately, it has not been compiled, as there is no webx file.

I am having a unique issue with the current version that I cannot debug to determine where my error is located, so I was hoping that someone
on this forum has the skill set to download, build, and provide it in the Pablo software extension set, hoping that the latest version may have
made additions/corrections to possibly fix my issue.

I simply do not have the background in the programming languages that the extensions are created with. However, if you talk FORTRAN, Basic, Visual Basic, PERL, C, C#, C++, Ada, then I'm fine. LOL

Thanks

Mike

Although there is no help with extensions it might help if you say what your issue is. It could be as simple as a conflict such as using two different extension(s) using different scripts.

If as you say there is a more up-to-date version for download then you can use the following to insert the files yourself
Adding HTML, Javascript or PHP to a web page. As your asking for it to be compiled to be a extension it may incurr payment for the time it takes the user/member to do this for you.

Maybe there is just an error in your configuration?
What is the exact problem?

Here is a description.

For my wife's WEB site (she is an artist) there is a page titled "portfolio".
On that page there are categories, and each category opens a page that
uses the flexslider. All pages work perfectly except for one. It does not display
every image in the collection and it does not display the titles, yet every other category
works perfectly.

I have copied the flexslider from a page that works and configured it the same except the
collection of images are set to the correct category.

I have reduced the size of the image, verified their path in the collection, etc.
I previewed the site, and it is perfect on my PC, but when I publish and go live, it is
broken, both on Firefox and Chrome.

I have done this multiple times with the same erroneous result.

I can only assume there may be something in the underlying code that could be the issue.

Here is the link to Flexslider version 2. If someone with the expertise is willing to take this
and create an extension for Pablo WYSIWYG WEB builder, I would consider offering a payment,
however it depends on the price.

Generally there is no difference between previewing locally and published. But if it doesn't work once published then it means that not all files have been correctly uploaded. But if it is working on all pages except one then there is nothing wrong with the script. It could something as simple as naming convention of the images ie they start with a number, have a space in them, contain invalid characters, using uppercase, JPG/jpeg instead of jpg. Without actually seeing if difficult to say really.

I also note you have previously posted about this did you read my reply on naming convention
flex slider failure

Hi yes I did, and you do have good suggestions that I will investigate.

Thank you

Perhaps you could post a url to the page in question you say isn't working. Or just a basic demo project the .wbs of the same page including the images used so it can be viewed.

Hi

sorry for the delay. here is a link to the page, but you can also go to portfolio and select another category like landscapes to see how it should behave.

The images are not showing because the image names are wrong. The files you entered into the flex slider do not match the names of the files on your server. File names are case-sensitive. I would also suggest using hyphens in between words and no spaces.

For example, you have the image name as Bromilead but your image is actually spelled bromilead (with small b). Another example, A_Blustery_Day_in_March.jpg should all be lower case (a_blustery_day_in_march.jpg).

Hello

The name of the image is the title/caption.
To load the images into the collection, I select all of the JPEGs and they are placed within the collection. They are initial CAP with underscore separators.


I go to inspect and drill into the HTML, and for Bromilead when I hover the file path, a pop-up says it could not load the image.

Ill need to debug this.

The following screenshot is the same for all of the urls it shows that the files/images are missing on the server!. There is also references to more than one image slider ie BX Slider and Flex it is either one or the other as it will cause conflicts. Please remove one that you do not want and this should resolve it. Note it not really a good idea to copy and paste from one oage to another as it can give issues yes it great for saving time but not when it causes this.

BaconFries!!!!

You ROCK!!!

Appreciate it very much!!!

Many, many thanks!!!

Changing it all now.

Discovered that in Pablo, under the Barb directory it contained all of the old and new file names.
Now I know where to remove the bad ones.
