So in short, i dont mess with Joomla at all (been a few years) and today i get a "hey can you fix this" problem which ive dedicated too much time to and i cant seem to figure out the problem. i definitively need help
The website is http://www.inrecordtime.net
The problem is that, the slider doesn't fully work and by "fully" i mean that, everything is in place, ive checked paths and replaced the original files with updated versions, also changed out the google hosted cdn version of jquery with a local copy, checked image paths etc....and nothing.
What happens is that when the page loads, the first image on the slider loads, but the slider doesnt "slide" its just one image in place.
Ive tested the images on firebug and they load fine.
Ive removed the parameters in the slider and left it as a regular function call like jQuery('#slider').nivoSlider(); and nothing.
i placed back the parameters and within the slider, one of the parameters is startSlide
and this parameter instructs the slider to start at a specific image in the list.
currently its at "0" which is the first image, when i change it like so startSlide: 2 for example, and then reload the page, the slider starts at the second image (which indicates the not fully working part of it all ) but again, the slider doesnt "slide".
I suggested to the higher ups that instead of mixing it all up, to let me hard code it but that was shot down because they want them to be able to change the images.
Im really lost so any help or code or suggestion etc, i humbly appreciate.
Thanks in advanced.
Based on the errors that are popping up in my console, you likely need to update the jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js file to a later version, which you can grab from here: https://github.com/gilbitron/Nivo-Slider/blob/master/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js
The version you are running relies on the live function in jquery, which was deprecated and I think is now removed, hence the errors being thrown now that you use the latest jquery version. The new version of nivo slider has been updated to rely on the new on function of jquery and should run.
Looks like your version is located here: http://www.inrecordtime.net/templates/IRT/scripts/nivo-settings/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js

For some reason the Eigen web page now has a popup blocking content. If you go to http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/, the popup in the upper-left corner of the page doesn't want to go away. Help please! Seems to fail with both the latest Firefox and on Chrome.
Looks like the Eigen developers are aware of this (Issue 1918) and they just merged a fix about 5 minutes ago. I'm not sure how long it takes to update the website, but the documentation bug causing the issue should be fixed.
Apparently the issue was with the JavaScript in eigen_navtree_hacks.js which needed the load function (which is deprecated) to be changed to the on function
$(window).load(showRoot);
had to be changed to
$(window).on("load", showRoot);
and
$(window).load(resizeHeight);
had to be changed to
$(window).on("load", resizeHeight);
I'm not sure what actually triggered the menu to start behaving this way in the first place.
I'm using two great modules for Silverstripe 3 but there is a conflict somewhere which I can't work out. I've asked the developers but they have not found the solution yet.
Modules:
FocusPoint which allows you to choose where the image crops from. Great!
https://github.com/jonom/silverstripe-focuspoint
Gallery, popular gallery module.
https://github.com/frankmullenger/silverstripe-gallery
Both work fine. But Focus points do not "save" within the gallery section of a Gallery page. You can edit and choose the focus point but after saving it snaps back to the previous position. You can alter the focus point in the Files tab of the CMS so it must be how Gallery saves each image.
I have updated the template to CroppedFocusedImage but this is not a template issue.
It would be a very helpful addition.
Can you please provide some details of failure? Do you see any warning or error messages if you run in dev mode? Any small black error box on left-top when you save?
If FocusPoint module does not work, you can have a look at folder permissions or maybe any PHP libraries like ImageMagick, GD support etc. Maybe you you changed something during upgrade?
If both modules work individually, but the problem is cropped image is not saved in correct directory, it is another issue although it could still be permission issue.
You can set which folder it needs to save into, same as how you set in normal UploadField. But it wouldn't change just because of your upgrade.
For anyone looking for the answer it has been resolved here: https://github.com/frankmullenger/silverstripe-gallery/pull/23

i made a WordPress page for a client, and for some reason it is taking over a minute to load the page. The only thing that I could think of being the problem is the amount of photos that he inserted into the slider up top on the home page. It looks like all those pictures need to load before anything else pops up. But then I click on Contact or any other page that has no real images to speak of, and the problem is still there. Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to fix this. thanks!
Like #David said, its the initial request (the source for the page) that is giving you the issues. This means it is unlikely an issue with hosting, and most likely an issue with your code. I would go through any plugins you have installed and disable them one-by-one, and slowly start commenting out your own custom dynamic code bit by bit, till you see what is taking so incredibly long. Then rewrite/excise that code from the site.
Start With the Basics
Keep the number of WordPress plugins you use to a minimum
Get a Proper Hosting Provider
Remove Unnecessary Code From WordPress Header -> http://goo.gl/yfRcF
Use firebug and click Network tab to check loading speed for each files

Install WP Super Cache plugin -> http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/
*If you use gallery try to use image thumbnail rather than load whole images size
i am not sure that this is the right place to ask this question, but i will anyway. i have only been working with html / javascript & jquery for about 2 months, but i have learned a little.
this is what i am trying to do. i have a free image gallery that i managed to included in a website i am trying to make. the gallery works fine, and i have set it up so that on top of each image is a button that fires a short .mp4.
it works fine, but when i click the gallery button to show the next page of pictures (about 15 per page), there are my old buttons. i think, just maybe if i could figure out what js or jq function id being called i may be able to swap in new buttons.
but i cannot understand what is happening. i looked for an onclick, but what they use is a bunch of "this" statements. i am pretty sure they are using an anchor tag to flip the page, but i can't figure out what is being called.
so i came across this site, and after about 10 attempts, finally got the thing to let me join.
i'm hoping i can post the code and maybe somebody could tell me what is happening.
i guess this wasn't much of a question, just an appeal for assistance.
Are you asking how you can debug your code? If you are using Chrome, you can use its Javascript debugger. Similarly, Firebug is a good developer plugin for Firefox.
I have searched and searched, but didn't find what I was looking for, so sorry if it's already there. I did a photo blog for a friend and used to implement jQuery Jazyload (http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload) to load all the pictures along the way, however, it doesn't work in all browsers anymore and he stopped developing it. I heard of http://www.sebastianoarmelibattana.com/projects/jail/, but it will need a lot of extra text and code when you have 500-1,000 pictures on one site. Also I want to be able to load the images lets say 1000px, before they appear in the window.
Do anyone have suggestions/solution or else, to get the problem fixed?

It is the part of automatically removing image src which does not work anymore. Version 1.5 released Dec 23, 2009 provided alternative where you must alter HTML and store image url in original attribute. I renamed it recently to data-originalto be HTML5 friendly. I also updated to documentation which better explains how to use it.
But yes. The way Lazy Load used to work is not possible anymore. Before you could just drop in the JavaScript and it handled everything automagically. Due to changes in new browsers you now must alter the HTML.
PS. Lazy Load is not dead. It was just orphan for a while.
