Two things you are doing wrong....

[1] You haven't read the help file.

[2] Your images get published to the root folder - these need to be MOVED to the /images folder - as it says in item 7 of the Known Limitations.

Susanna,

A preview in WWB wont put the images where they need to be - as these all get published to the root. So to see how your menu is looking you first need to do a Local Publish, then open Windows Explorer to move the files. Then you can open the page in your browser and see how it looks.

Once you have performed a local publish you can see any future changes you make by doing another local publish. Second and subsequent publishes will continue to dump your images into the root folder but they are also already in the correct folder, /images, because you moved them there after the first publish.

So unless you change an image you will always be able to see your menu after a local publish. If you do change an image, local publish and move the new image(s) from the root to /images.

When you are done and the menu is how you want it, at the final publish just delete the duplicate images from the root folder.

Adendum,
I have added this to a site i am working on, when I preview all is well, but when I publish i get a horizontal scroll bar. I have done process of elimination and found it is the extension. Any ideas why or how to get rid of the scroll bar?? Link below is to the page.

Imafireman,

I don't see a horizontal scroll bar when I view your page. I see four slides therefore you are showing four navigation bullets. If you don't want to see those you can change the settings in the extension - section D set to False.

hmmm..... I see one in FF,IE, and safari. I like the bullets thats why I have them showing, but if I take them off the scroll bar does go away.
Have a look at the screen shot. Like I said its only when i publish the site, and its not the hosting, cause it happens on my free account and my godaddy account.
any ideas??

Ahh, sorry was looking for something entirely different.

Yes I know exactly what. There is a class statement in the CSS file called .orbit-bullets and it's set to 200%.

I need to figure out why I or the original author did that. But in the short term you can make a manual 'fix' for this by opening the CSS file in the published /orbit/ folder and change the line :-

.orbit-bullets {
position: absolute; width:
200%; z-index: 1000; ..............

to 100%

I'm a little tied up right now but I'll get to it later today.

UPDATED: Orbit Slider (free)

Post by Adendum »

Version 1.0.0.5
16/01/12 : Added option to alter bullet area widths.

With regard to the above issue...I have no idea how or why this area was set to 200%. So I have added a new property "Bullet area width" with a default setting of 100% that allows you to change this to lower or higher values, up to a maximum of 200%.

Available from the extension site or my demo site.

20/02/12 : All image content now published to sub-folders to the /orbit folder.

You may need to re-link any images if you open a project that uses an earlier version of this extension. Earlier versions of this extension required published images to be moved to the /images folder. Now ALL the images are all automatically published to separate sub-folders under the /orbit folder; e.g.:-

/orbit..........(holds bullet, timer images and pause)
...../buttons.......(holds main navigation buttons)
...../slides.........(holds all images used as slides)
...../thumbs.......(holds all thumbnail images)

You'll have to create a separate page with the second Orbit Slider.

Add an Inline Frame to the first page and call in the second page you just created.

Dumb question - is there anyway to justify the "caption text" left or right as opposed to it being centered?

Rob,

Probably. But I'd have to dig around in the CSS and then modify the extension to add that capability. No time to do that at the moment but I'll put it on my lengthy To Do list. Will let you know.

Rob,

It's done but I am having serious issues trying to upload it back to the Extensions database. Have emailed Pablo for assistance!

Any other extension developers experiencing issues uploading or editing the developer side of the system?

Perfecto! (text padding would be a bonus but I was able to workaround it by adding spaces in front of the caption) Thank you so much. You are awsome!
