Tweaking Banners?
Is there a way you can tweak the style and duration of the banner transition? I know there is a setting for time between transitions.
Also, is there a place where we can change a setting, so the banners do not start over when you go to a different page? It doesn't do much good if you have 6 banners on the side, if they don't continue on as you navigate the site. No one is apt to sit there and wait and watch them rotate.

Re: Tweaking Banners?
You can adjust the delays under Website > Component > Settings > Banner Advertisements.
You can adjust the transitions by editing the file {private}/apps/cms/CMS/includes/banners.php.
The code we use for the banner rotations does not allow it to remember where it was and continue from that point in the loop on another page load. That is a thought for future development, though.

Re: Tweaking Banners?
I had found that reference last nit and edited this line to read:
$js_docready = 'jQuery(\'#' . $jid . '\').jshowoff({cssClass: \'jshowoff_withcontrols\', effect: \'fade\', links: false, speed: ' . $banner_delay . '});';
However it has had no effect. The banner still slides. Is there something in the database that needs to be over written?

Are you looking at the banner in the main content section, or one in the sidemenu? Can you post a URL?
sidemenu If it faded it would be less distracting than the slide.

Re: Tweaking Banners?
Is there something here, that might be incorporated to create the ability to return to the last image viewed rather than the start?
I have used this on other websites, and it is very flexible and works well.

I've used that script on several sites and it's flaky at best. It intermittently crashes the browser if you leave it running for a long time. I think that the jshowoff library we're using is much better in that regard.

Is it possible to tell it to remove the control arrows? I've set it to fade rather than slide.
