macdowells OFFLINE OSTudent Posts: 27 Karma: 0	I downloaded a template, it has a slider at the top of the front page with 4 or 5 pictures that rotate. I want the slider but I want to change the pictures. I have been thru the control panel at the back end of the site and the cpanel at the site host and cannot find the pictures or the module that controls them. How???. Thanks Lynne

Nick OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 16795 Thank you received: 386 Karma: 56	Hi Lynne, 1) What Joomla version are you using? 2) What template are you using? 3) Does the template provider have documentation for the template and slider? 4) Could we get a link to the site to take a quick look? Kind regards, Nick

Hi
I think that this is your template.
www.themegoat.com/new-joomla-2-5-template-malita
and these are the template positions.

If you go to the template manager you will see that in the options the slide show is built in- you can adjust the parameters.
Here is a video of the set up for your template. The slide show is at the end of the video.

Hope this helps.
Best Regards

Mark

Go to template manager and click on your new template in the parameter you will see display slideshow aclick to show. Below you enter the url - try images/slideshow/yourslide.jpg. You can also enter a caption. Repeat for each image.

macdowells OFFLINE OSTudent Posts: 27 Karma: 0	Hi Mark Not so well, I can see in the template manager where the captions for the slides go, but not where a url is that locates the slides that came with the tempate which could be changed to display my pictures Maybe the template designer did not want the pictures changed.
