Carousel With Blog

Hi,

I was looking at one of your exmple websites for MDBoom (http://demo.megadrupal.com/d7/md-boom/) and in the blog section of it is a carousel with a blog feature on it, so when you click on the image another box appears containing more text. I was curious about how this was done? i'm quite new to megadrupal so a step by step guide would be apprechiated :)

Thanks for all the help,

Dan

Hi,

Here is instruction:

- Create a view

- Custom template of view (take a look at file views-view--blog--block.tpl.php for example)

- If you set iD blog-carousel for view, carousel will work by default

 or if you add another ID, you need to custom Js. In this case, you can find example in file custom.js:

section

var blog = jQuery('#blog-carousel');
....

Thanks for the help.

Just one more thing, When i add the view it adds it as a block even when I change the ID in the database it still shows as an unformatted list, what other bits am i missing?

Just need to follow instruction. If it still does not work, you could send us your site url, admin account and FTP account by Private comment, we would like to help you. 

In that case, please describe by detail which you would like to have in your site also.

Thanks again for the quick response. When I followed the instructions it appears as a list, after looking on the demo site the blog section apears to use a module called owl carousel?, but this wasnt included with the theme download files, After installing this module and setting the view from unformatted list to use owl carousel it still doesnt display correctly, does it require a specific content type to be used?

No need to install module owl carousel. It uses libarary which included in theme. 

Maybe you could share us your site information so we will take a look and give more detailed instruction.

Dan,

Just checked your site and could see some thing messed up. But we could not access your FTP account. Please check it again. It showed message: "Unable to make a connection. Please try again."

Hi Phuonght,

Just checked it and it appears to be working, could you check again and see if it was a temporary issue

Just checked your site and could see you inserted your own js file. There is a file named buttontext.js which causes js errors. 

Please fix this file. You could insert js file in js folder but the current place.

Hi, I've done a fresh install of drupal with this theme and still struggling getting it working - I cant set the machine name of the view to blog-carousel as it says that the hyphen isnt supported (only underscores). The same links for FTP and HTTP now point to the new website and files if you could have a look, very much appreciated. Thanks
