General questions

Hello there.

I just bought this module and its exactly what i was looking for. This is a nice module.

I have a few questions. I adjusted the module so i get the titles from a category.
After the scrolling titles at frontend i get this message:

Please enter content source in the module parameters (Joomla backend.....etc
How to remove this message?

Also, i would like to add an image at the intro text background. How could i do this?Where is the css file for this module?

Thank you in advance

That message should appear only until you set up your module with right content ID's. If there is nothing to show it appears. Anyway you can remove it in :

\modules\mod_hot_scroller\tmpl\default.php

around line 94:
if (!$where_id) {
echo "Please enter content source in the module parameters (Joomla backend > Extensions > Module Manager > HOT Scroller). You can select category or enter articles IDs. If you'd like to enter articles IDs, please keep category field unselected.";
}

just put // in front of echo command:

//echo "Please enter content source in the module parameters (Joomla backend > Extensions > Module Manager > HOT Scroller). You can select category or enter articles IDs. If you'd like to enter articles IDs, please keep category field unselected.";

To set image use:

.highlights_intro_pad{
background:....
}

you can put your css at bottom of main template css file or modules/mod_hot_scroller/tmpl/hot_scroller.css

Thank you very much for your help.
I already found the css file of the module and i inserted the background image.


Please look at the attached image. I have created my blue background image with the little curve at the right and i want to use it.

How could i make the white scrolling bar to go under the blue image, or somehow to have the effect as of the attached image?

.highlights_intro{
position:absolute;
}

would make text go under that box.

.highlights_intro_pad{
z-index:99999;
}

ensures box image is above text.

use .php or .gif image for background, make white part of curve transparent.

Thank you very much for your help! I did it!

One final question...
In php file where i change the unecessary text, i tried to change the character between showing titles. I used, '-' this character. Then i realized something.
At frontend assuming that i have 2 article titles Title1 and Title 2, then i get this Title1_Title2. Its like the scrolling text needs to margin bottom a bit. I tried this with no success.

Any ideas?

Also, if i want to use an image as title separator, what should i do?

You need to insert // before:

echo "Please enter content source in the module parameters (Joomla backend > Extensions > Module Manager > HOT Scroller). You can select category or enter articles IDs. If you'd like to enter articles IDs, please keep category field unselected.";

so it's like this:

//echo "Please en....

not -
