Hi, I'm kinda new to joomla web-creations and i'm building a site using the time template. I downloaded the vikslider module but i don't manage to get it work... I made the vikslider folder, placed images in it. Then assigned images to the module and placed the module in slider position. But then, it brings me an error message (same line 11 error message that is described below) and images won't slide. They get stacked one above another above the main article.
Do you have a solution?
Thanks

Hi,
That error message is displayed when the system is unable to get the exchange rates from the Yahoo! Finance API. Your server has either some restrictions with the php.ini setting allow_fopen_url or maybe you were just on a page where there was nothing to convert, no prices. The first issue is most likely what's happening to you. You should contact your hosting company and ask to enable that php.ini setting because you can't use the php function file_get_contents() or CURL for retrieving values from remote addresses. That's probably a security measure but it's causing you problems.

Hi,
We have received a lot of requests from our clients but for the moment we haven't planned to release the extension to show custom tips. We have developed that extension only for our website so adjusting it for any other Joomla User is not going to be an easy task. The component is pretty complex to be used as it needs plain JavaScript code to make ajax calls.
We will report this request once again to our programmers.

Hello,
Don't worry about that PHP Notice message. It is generated only because your Error Reporting Level is too high.
From the Joomla Global Configuration you should change that setting to "None". Usually the error reporting level should only display Warning and Error messages, not Notice messages.

Hi,
That is because your page has a jQuery conflict. You can try to disable the setting of the module "Load jQuery" for fixing this Javascript conflict.
Usually these conflicts are caused by other modules or plugins that you have published on your template. Sometimes modules or plugins do not load jQuery or extended jQuery libraries in the way they should for not causing problems with other modules. If it still doesn't work even after disabling the setting Load jQuery then you should try to use a third party plugin called "jQuery Easy" to solve these Javascript conflicts. You can download it from the Joomla Extensions Directory.

Hello,
It depends on what Template you are using. You should check the name of the position that lays above the slider and publish the search module of VikRentCar in that position.
Of course this is possible only if you are using one of our Templates or if your template has a position that stays over another with a proper z-index level.

Hello,
That is because you have a Javascript conflict on your site with other modules or plugins. VikSlider uses an extended jQuery library so after the effects.js library is called in the code flow, no more jQuery.js libraries should be called or the effects library will generate an error.
I suggest you to use a third party plugin called Easy jQuery that you can find in the Joomla Extensions Directory. It will help you solve this kind of issues between the modules and the template.

Downloaded slider module and would like to extentend my congrats for a clean and easy module! Only thing i would like you to advice is how to make the links open in a new tab/window... tried inserting target="_blank" in the code but it messed up the module (probably because i put it somewhere i shouldnt have).
I love it nonetheless
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the compliments! Anyway, adding a _blank target is the right way to make the links open in a new window. You probably forgot to escape the double quotes if you are saying that it messed up the module. Find the a tag in the code and put a backslash before each double quote, like this:
target=\"_blank\"

You should use the VikContentSlider module instead of the VikSlider, you can find the download link in the Time documentation or you can download it from the Free Area of our website.
Once that you have installed the module you should remember to disable the Load jQuery parameter.
