Hi Arshad,

I really love the andromeda theme, excellent work!
I have only just started using drupal and still getting to grips with it, and this is the first time i have asked for support so im not sure what information you will need...

I am having trouble getting the banner slideshow to display correctly, the placement of the images covers the drop shadow and the navigation dots under the image do not show (see included screenshot)

I am using acquia dev desktop with the latest version of drupal core on windows 7, and have tried creating a new site in Chrome, Firefox, as well as IE, all with the same results.

i hope to hear from you soon, thanks in advance for your help.

Lawrence Symes

Hey there!

I think it might the title that is breaking the slideshow. Let's try removing the title and see if this works.

  1. Go to the blocks settings under structure -> blocks
  2. Find the block with the slideshow and click on configure. (See http://drupal.org/files/block-configure.png)
  3. Find the title field and clear it or type <none> to remove the title. (See http://drupal.org/files/block-title.png)
  4. Save the settings
  5. Reload the page with the slideshow and see if there are any improvements

Well, two days of trying to sort it and there you go! Thankyou!

its displaying as it should now, except it seems to be adding an extra frame for each image (for lack of a better description). For example, if i have 2 images referenced in the "slider" block body, it will display 3 frames in the slideshow, 3 images = 5 frames, 4 images = 7 frames, 5 images = 9 frames...

Also, is there way to customise the slideshow, ie have text appear when you mouse over?

And finally, if i may ask, how and where are you placing the code for the grid system? If i create a block to replicate the grid on the home page, i will still get "no content added yet" and "add new content" appear in the body there. If i add a basic page and place it in there, it forces me to add a title.

Thanks again for your help.

Please see http://drupal.org/node/1197908#comment-4666456 for the grid on the front page.

For the slideshow, I think i got this bug too. Might be something with the plugin. Working on that.

I have the same question about the extra space in between the images (I have 3 images but 5 little navigation blocks are showing up). PLEASE help!!

I got the banner working by installing the Views Nivo Slider module and replacing the included slider with that in conjunction with views. The pager at the bottom looks a little different but other than that it works well, just follow the install instructions. and if you need help with views theres a good tutorial on brightwebdesign.com
