Jenny
Thanks Jenny,
Thanks for submitting to our feed.
HI, this module looks encouraging. I like the setup and management. I'm having two problems and didn't know where else to ask.
The use of the module changes the formatting of my Superfish menu. If you like, I'll work with you via private mail to troubleshoot.
Also, I get several error messages when loading. The issue seems to point to the mod_ds_banner_slide.php file at line 154.
$imageurl = $baseurl."images/banners/".$banner->imageurl;
Hi Mark,
you can email me at vincent@designersandbox.com

Hi Mark,
I am also facing the problem while applying the ds_banner_module.
i.e., The drop down menu list is hiding with ds_banner_module article/image while mouse over the menu list.
To over come this problem i have applied the Super fish module. While using this module i am facing another issue.
i.e., The sub menu list is displaying at top of the menu position while mouse over the sub menu list.
I hope you will solve this problem, Because you are also using super fish module.
Please help me.
I am waiting for your replay.

hey
ive set this up on my site however its not displaying any images
its not pulling the images from the images/banners folder
should the images be somewhere else
thanks for any help you can give
Did you use the Joomla Default Banner Component to setup the banner?
This module will load the banner category or client when you had set it up.
Hi, mine also does not show pull any images from the images/banners folder. Yes, those banners are created from the default Joomla Banner Component. Do I need to unpublish those already active banners?
Hi. Nice blog. Certainly
Good article…I will use some of these design principles myself…more good info please…
Can you tell me more how this is not working.
Because we had tested on all browser and seems it's working.
Do you have a link, screen shot or source for me to take a look at?
Most of my client using this doesn't have the problem.
Browser that we had test this on:
IE6, IE7, IE8, FireFox3, FireFox3.5, SAFARI3, SAFARI4, Chrome3.0
Know issue with FireFox2.0(display inline, block problem with the controller)
I would like to set the controls to transparent so that they don't appear so prominent. How would I do that.
Also is there any plans to have different transitions such fade in fade out.
Yes, this is going to be our next next release.
You can set the transparent on the css for the controller.
are you familiar with css?
But this wont' work on ie6 and ie7
Thank you
Hi Mike,
To set the contorller div block to a transparent state. Simple open your module file
mod_ds_banner_slide.php
File locate at: moduels/mod_ds_banner_slide.php
Find where #<?php echo $uniqueid; ?><?php echo $controls; ?> div
Before the closing } add in the following code.
filter:alpha(opacity=20); -moz-opacity:0.2;-khtml-opacity: 0.2;opacity: 0.2;
This should work across all browser.
I will add this transparent function into my next release.
Thanks for the great idea

Excellent works a treat. Thank you for the fast response. I look forward to future releases.
Hi,
i install the module in joomla 1.5, but the control buttons dont work in safari and chrome.
what i can do?
Hi Sergio,
Which version are you referring to?
we had test this banner slider on all browser.
Can you send your link by email and I can help you out on it. vincent@designersandbox.com
Be sure to download the latest version, and see if this had fixed your problem.
Excellent work,
I just love the template. However, I have one issue I can't solve. I always get this notice:
"Notice: C:wampwwwmysitemodulesmod_ds_banner_slidemod_ds_banner_slide.php 136"
This results in having 12 navigation buttons (and 12 banners, 10 of which are empty), instead of the only two banners I used. On the *empty* banners, I get the notice I quoted.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
Hi Milan,
Be sure to download the latest version of the banner.
If problem persist, please send me a email of your site, I can help you take a look to it.

Vincent (vincent@designersandbox.com)
Did you get yours fixed? I have the same problem.
Hello there,
I really like the module, excellent job. I have a question about the following thing: I want to make the module control my other 2 slots of banners on the same page. Can you help me with this issue? Please!
Thank you in advance.
Hi Hristo Yanev,
You can input a different unique id "Unique ID for this AJAX Banner" in this field.
ie. rotator1, rotator2, rotator3, and so on…
Hi Guys,
I have installed your DS Banner module, which works fine in Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari but does not in Microsoft IE 8 or in Microsoft IE8 in compatability mode. I m using the latest .04b version of the module. The web site I am using the module on is http://www.ospreysailing.org.uk.
Look forward to hearing from you guys. Thanks for the excellent module.
Huw
Hi Huw,
Please set the height for your banner with a number,
as IE need the height for this banner to able to show properly.
Also try to resize all your banner/logo to the same width and height so the image won't got deform.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for that. Settinga value instead of auto for the hight was it. I will also resize the images to the same height and width.
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Huw
Hi Huw,
Good to know that it work for you.
Wow, great stuff guys, really usefull, i'm gonna donate if I win my next project. And a question: is it possible to aply different effect than sliding for example fading? I mean in an easy way without waiting for a next release.
Thanks!
Sorry Kondzik,

We are also waiting for the script originate author to release the next version.
Don´t show Flash (swf) banners?
Sorry, not in the current version.
Will add that into our roadmap.
Excellent module but unfortunately i cannot use it…
the problem is that banners do not rotate but rather appear on vertical order… No rotating, no active buttons no nothing…
probably a conflict with my template? Any suggestions?
This could be a css problem, can you show me the link?
Hy, I need help
I put 4 banners in user4 beez tempalte, but they overlap on each other
I dont know how to fix this
http://www.centar-pramac.hr
Hi cincilator,
Simply in the "Elements In Page" type in 1 to only show 1 banner.
You may also want to set "Elements Margin" to 0.
Have fun
Hi, Thanks for this module. I'd like to change appearance of navigation buttons eg to standard playback, fwd/ bckwd symbols. I'd appreciate any tips. Cheers
Surely you can do this with css
Let me think of this a hack or tuts for you later.
Hi, I like DS-Banner and it works great!
It works with Chrom, Firefox, however ofcourse ofcourse NOT with IE7. IE7 displays just an image of 1px. (Don't know about IE6/8 yet). I enter this report before I start digging for hours/days…you might have seen this phenomenom already. Any help would be fantastic.
I have check on all version of brower on your site.
http://www.seasunset.nl/
and found that IE6 is not working properly throughout your whole site.
I found that ie7 is working properly. am i looking at the wrong site?
Great extension, I looked all around for something like that and couldn't find anywhere else. Banners rotate perfectly, and the controls and options are excellent! I was able to use CSS to customize it to my needs.
However, I had a problem. If I use the module with no custom settings at all (no CSS or anything), default options and 2 banners, it works like a charm on IE and Firefox. However, Safari 4 and Chrome shows all buttons except for the numbering buttons. Instead, they show a tiny blank box where the "pageIndex" div should be.
I have a guess that Safari 4 and Chrome don't understand something at the jQuery you used to create the "page index" (numbering buttons), but it's just a guess.
Hi George Bezerra,
Please send me the link so that I can further investigate.
It happens that the problem was on my template's default CSS, I forgot to disable it or to see if the problem was on the template I was using. Now it's running fine on all browsers, although in IE6 I had to set the margin between slides to 0. Don't know if this is an issue with my CSS or with the extension.
Anyway, thanks for this great module! I'm looking forward to see the feature Val said, about it being able to rotate from the last banner to the first again, like 1-2-3-4-1-2… I know it depends on an update by another group of developers, I'll visit this website often to see any updates.
Another feature I'd like to see is the option to link to a local jquery library file, since I already use jQuery for my website and it's quite useless to load the library again from ajax.googleapis.com.
Thanks.
hi,
i have a problem with the extension when i see it in google chorme, itns work, the next prev bottom dosnt move the images.

http://www.metalbogota.net

Hi Sergio Susa,
Try setting the elementMargin: from 4 to 0
and also set a fix height for the banner as well.

Vincent
Hi, great plugin, thanks for sharing!
I was wondering if there was a way to stop the slideshow displaying the banners in a "start to end, end to start, start to end…" loop?
At the moment it plays banner 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and then goes back 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, then again 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Is there a way to have it jump directly to the first slide? Like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…
Thanks in advance if you can help.
Hi Val,
Yes this is going to be available in a later build.
Because this script are base on a script from the jquery community.
I am also waiting for the Original Author to release the next improve version.
Once he confirmed the date, we will then converted into this module.
Original Script are by Matteo Bicocchi at open-labs.com

Ok, looking forward to the upgrade then. Thanks for your reply!
Hi, I have installed "mod_ds_banner_slide" module into the template( http://wavingattrains.com/beep15/ ) and this module position is set to the Header position.
Now i am facing one problem. i.e, when i am trying to place the mouse cursor on the menus, The drop down menu list is hiding with ds_banner_slide module article / image.
Can suggest me any one you, how to solve this problem.
Hi rajeshlab,
I believe this is a template problem.
I think this problem only exist on certain browser like IE.
You can try to define the z-index for your #nav to be higher.
should be in your menu.css file. Try to tweak this file and see if you can get the problem fixed
Thank you for giving replay.
I have define the Z-index and tried. Even though it's not working. I am checking this application in IE v8.0.6 and Mozilla v3.6 browsers.
My Mail id is rajeshlab@yahoo.com
Hi,
The Z-index by define the position: 97px;
I have tried to overcome this problem. I have installed super fish module.Now the menu list is appearing on the banner article/image. But, now i am facing another issues.
i.e., The sub menu-sub menu(3rd level) list is displaying at the position of main menu(1st level) position,while mouse over the cursor on the drop down list. Before applying the super fish module the sub menu list is displaying properly at the position of the sub menu beside.
I have tried to change the 3rd level list position. by default the position is set to 0px; So i have changed it to 25px. then the 3rd level list is displaying 25px position. now the problem is every drop down sub menu list is starting 25px position, but the menu is displaying at the corsponding sub menu beside.
Can you sugest me how to solve this problem..
Sorry for my bad english.
please give me the replay to mail id, if possible. otherwise give me replay here only.

Hi, I like DS-Banner!
It works with Firefox, Safari but NOT with IE7. IE7 displays just an image of 1px. You might have seen this problem already. Any help would be fantastic
Hi Marcus,
Please try to type in the exact height for the banner.
IE wouldn't recognize the image properly.
Please change the default auto to a number.
Vincent
YES! it works great!
Thanks;-)
Hi,
I am facing a problem while using ds_banner_slider module.
i.e., Navigating one page to other page, The banner images were displaying instead of the page content. after loading the page the content is displaying in the body of the template.
My issue is no need to displaying the banner images instead of the content place while loading the page, when navigating one page to another page.
I think it's the problem is Generally the .js file is loaded after loading the page.
Hi Rajesh,
Do you have a link to share with, so basically I can have a glance to your problem.
Regards,
Vincent
Sorry For the late Replay,
Sure Vincent,
The URL is http://serole.com/jm/
I have apply another module instead of this module temporarily.
I will enable the ds_banner_module now.
Can you look it once.
Rajesh
Is there a way to display multiple banners at once e.g six banners vertically aligned with some padding between them?
One would still need the ability to scroll through the banners e.g there are a total of 24 banners and you want to display 6 on each page.
Hi Charles,
Yes, you can give them different ID for each, and they will scroll separately.
You can take a look at our demo page.
http://joomla.designersandbox.com/vc-busuit/index...
Thanks but this does not work,the banners overlap on top of each other.
All 6 banners in each page must show at once with ability to navigate to next set of 6.
Hi Charles,
I believe this is to do with your template.
You may want to put a clear:both css to separate each banner.
It would be best if you could show me the link by email or here.
So I can look at your problem.

Thanks I have tested with multiple templates & keep getting the same error.I`m using the most recent version of your module.
I think the issue is on file mod_ds_banner_slide line 147
echo '<img src="'. $imageurl .'" width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'" break="'.$break.'"border="0" alt=""/>' ;
I want a line break after each image.
After a day of trying to get this module to work I have decided to move on to other easy-to-install modules.
Any way to connect this to the impressions/clicks for the banner, then this would absolutely rock!
Hi Gary,
Currently this is not possible, but in future releases.

Mine version is displaying dummy slides with words like "Notice" and "136" at the top. It does show the ads.I have but 3 other "blanks" as well. I can't possibly see where these are comong from. Advice appreciated.
I used this mod. I like this alot!!! works good no problems with setup or integrations.
My problem is the banner wont "center" like the default joomla location.
The mod makes the banner go hard left… I cannot for the life of me get this to move to the center..
thanks in advance

Hi, I just installed your mod, no problems except….I use two banners, one works fine, it has an ordinary url link. The other has the following code in the custom code box…..
<img src="http://www.nightoutinlondon.com/images/banners/contact_banner.png" /> ……
and all I get is just the home page refreshing, any ideas?
many thanx for an otherwise good mod,
Rob
Is it possible to display the image in multiple row and multiple column display ?
I need to display the module in 3 row * 2 column
It would be so much more easy if the template was set as it appears in the demo, then from there one users make changes…
Hi.
It is really nice module, but could you tell me please why it is not working with virtuemart? If I install it to joomla with virtuemart it is not possible to make an order in virtuemart.
Thanx

Is there a way to make the banner counter work, so I can see the number of clicks? I have 3 rotating banners working great on my site, but I would love to be able to tell if people are clicking on them.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
to add alt tags to mod_ds_banner_slide.php edit line 146
change
alt=""
to
alt="'.$banner_text.'"
and then the Jomla banner description (in banner componet) will appear DS Banner alt tags
Bug with Muliple image elements – they seem to stretch!
To fix, in mod_sd_banner_slide, replace line 147 with …
$imgwidth=$width/$elementsInPage – $elementMargin/$elementsInPage;
echo '<img src="'. $imageurl .'" width="'.$imgwidth.'" height="'.$height.'" border="0" alt=""/>';
Fabulous Banner mod – thanks Guys!
this is a great module,
but I would like it to have a "module suffix" option, so I could customize its display with CSS
is it something I can't find, or a feature request?
kind regards,
luis raposo
this is a great module,
but it lacks the option for "module-suffix", needed for CSS tuning
can you fix that?
Thanks for the support, I will wrap up a version with suffix in the next week, should be ready on the 6th Sept, 2010.
Hi luis raposo,
As promise, module-suffix was added.
Happy Joomla building,
Vincent
Hi! Great module… I have integrated it into a website and am experiencing a funny problem in IE6: the last banner in the series gets pushed underneath the first banner, so that when I click on the last number in the series I see a blank space, and when the first banner in the series is onscreen 4px or so of the last banner visibly sticks out underneath it. Any idea how to fix it?
Hi Grace,
Thank you for using it. Can you send me the links that this had happen, maybe I can fix this for you.
Regards,
V
Hi Vincent,
Thank you very much Vincent.
I have appended you given code with some modification.
i.e., The margin: -25px 0 0 146px;
Now my problem is solved.
Now i am able to see the drop down menus list on the ds_banner_slider module articles/images with out using the super fish menu module.
Regards,
R.Rajesh.
Hi Vincent,
Thanks for giving replay with code. I am very happy.
I have applied the above code. Now the all sub menus list(3rd level) were starting at the position of 25px.
But the sub menus list (3rd level ) will start beside that corespondent sub menu. Now all sub menus(3rd level) were not displaying at the corespondent menus(2nd level) beside.
That's what i am mentioning the menu position 0px to 25px last before post.
while i have modified the margin position 25px, All sub menus (3rd level) were starting at the position of 25px. but i need they will start beside that menu.
Hi Rajesh,
I believe this is not too hard to complete.
First. Open your menu.css
Find the class and append to your class list
#nav {z-index: 9999;}
#nav li ul ul {
left:-999em;
margin:25px 0 0 146px;
position:absolute;
}
Regards, Vincent
#nav li ul {z-index:9999;}
#nav li ul ul {z-index:9999;}
Maybe this will help.
Just try to push whatever is on top with a z-index with higher number
but i didn't see anything wrong with my IE8
Always Happy to assist.
Vincent
Hi Vincent,
I am facing another problem while using ds_banner_slider module.
