Re: Links for images

Hi, thanks for great module, but I have some problems with displaying right links with right image.
Example: images are showing with this order: img1, img2, img3, img3
For first, I have url: http://url1
Second does not have url, so I put $$ in second line
Third has url: http://url3
Fourth has url: http://url3

This is definition
http://url1
$$
http://url2
http://url3

On page, links under images are:
img1: http://url1/$$
img2: http://url3
..

So quick description. If I put $$, this is attached to prior line definition and next line is skipped.

Any suggestions?

Regards, Tone

That is strange, are you sure you have newline after each link definition. We sometimes have problems on some servers with first line so users insert $$ in first line.

Anyway this workaround may help:

open:

modules\mod_hot_joomla_carousel_pro\tmpl\default.php

find this:

$linksList = explode("\n", $imageLinks);


and change it like :

$linksList = explode("|", $imageLinks);

then in user input instead of new line use |, so you would have all input in one line.

Hi, I know it's strange. I looked params definition in database, there is \n after each line (\r\n) to be precise. I already looked default.php files and I discovered one thing (workaround this problem is to insert dummy first row) that I think you should correct. Where is block where you split links (by \n) and after that you search images dir to get filnames. You concat filenames with ||. Fieldnames variable is the explode to array. In that array is also extra empty array value (because of last ||), you then sort array and get blank string to first place. So all links are shifted by one.
Are my assumptions correct? And if it's ok with you I will try do solve this problem.

Hi Ivan,

I changed code in default.php to get it to work as it should. If you would like please provide me your email so I can send file with changes to you.

Hi Tone,

Please send default.php to milos.stankovic@gmail.com. I'd like to review your changes.

Thanks,
Milos

I am experienced this exact same problem occurring that has been described in several other separate topic postings. I am using version 2.5.4.1 and thought the necessary changes to default.php were already included. But the behavior I'm experiencing is exactly the same:

* first image has no link assigned
* second image has the link meant for the first image
* N image has the link meant for the N-1 image
* final image has no link assigned

The default.php file header doesn't have an individual version but the file is dated April 17, 2012 1:00pm so I would think it would have the updates that is referred to earlier in this thread.

My development URL is www.assistancecenter.org/joomla . The Carousel is located near the bottom of the home page, just above the footer.

Please advise. Thanks!
