wmode="transparent" does'nt seem to work. My menu is behind the pictures.

The wmode="transparant" is not working in firefox. it's a bugg in Firefox.
To work around this problem adjust Add the "z-index: 100;" to your .

For example I use "#nav ul" in my Menu structure:

Code: Select all

  
#nav ul {
    position: absolute;
    left: -999em;
    height: auto;
    width: 151px; 
    font-weight: normal;
    line-height: 20px; 
    border: 0; 
    border-top: 
    1px solid #E3E0D5;
    z-index:100;
}

Hey this module looks great but I ran into a problem installing it.

I am running a mock up of the real site on Win7 with XXAMP. Everything else in CMS MS is working fine.

When I installed your module I get a notification, "Showtime --Add Me - module:Showtime string:alert_no_records-- ".  I tried installing it from the respository and from a download, same notification, both ways.

Also, when I go ahead and try to "add show" anyway, I get "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in C:\xampp\htdocs\dcb\modules\Showtime\action.addshow.php on line 251".

Is there some easy fix for this? A setting or something small that I am missing?

Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't worry to much about the first notification, I could be wrong but I don't think it affects anything.
Also, when I go ahead and try to "add show" anyway, I get "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in C:\xampp\htdocs\dcb\modules\Showtime\action.addshow.php on line 251".
This is because the module uses shorthand notation throughout, and whatever server setting you've got (and I don't know what one this is, I wish I did) doesn't allow for it.  I found that I couldn't get Showtime to work on my local XAMMP installation either, but there was no problem when I uploaded to a development area on my web hosting server -- so I went ahead with it.  

By "shorthand" I mean "<?" vs "<?php".

If you can test it on your web hosting to see if it'll work, you may not have to worry about it locally and just comment it out locally and uncomment it when you push it live.  It's not optimal, but if you have tested it in a development area then you should be safe enough.

Hey thanks for the help on the XXAMP install. I moved to the Red Hat server and the module is acting much better.

But now I am having the same problem as Raduen above. As I said, I am on a Red Hat server and I am using CMS Made Simple version 1.8.2 as Raduen is. The exact error message is:

No show found, you need to add parameter show=
Add some images first : ()

The tag I copied in is: {Showtime show=3}

I followed the directions in the help and everything seemed to work (no error messages or odd behavior) but 'no show' in the page. Just as Raduen described above. Any permissions on folders need to be set or special packages needed on the server?

Ok, this new version (1.0.2) is better. My XXAMP server is now using Showtime correctly but the CentOS server is not. Here are the version diferences between the two:

OS           Win7 (XXAMP)      Cent OS release 5.4 (Final) (2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 On i686)
working?   working               not working
Apache     2.2.14(Win32)      2.2.16 (EL)      
MySQL      5.1.41                5.1.50
PHP          5.3.1                  5.2.14
(I formatted this info into a nice table,I hope the forum site keeps the formatting - there should be 3 columns)

The Error code that shows up in the HTML is:

No show found, you need to add show parameter : {Showtime show="2"}

We have been able to "hard code" a show into our site by copying the source code from your demo site and making the appropriate changes and it works. I could describe the procedure further if you wish.

Also we noticed that the arrows to order the slides in the slide list page do not work correctly on the CentOS server. When you click on one of the arrows it sends the slide either up or down a random number of spaces. But it does work properly in the XXAMP server.

All bugs fixed in version 1.0.3 ->download here

And you may consider to change your php.ini settings.
Adjust your errrorreporting:
Edit your php.ini, find this line

Code: Select all

;error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
and uncomment it like this

Code: Select all

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
This will still show all errors and turn off notices

Sorry to rise this again but, have someone solved the 'menu-behind-showtime' issue? I still have this bug.
I'm using standart NCleanBlue CMSMS template, that seems to set high z-index for CSS menu.
I have set the wmode like that: {Showtime show=1 wmode=transparent}, right?

Not working neither IE Nor FF.

By the way, very nice job!

Cheers
Elder

Yeah, I notice not only the above post but also threads like http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php?topic=43081.0 and http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php?topic=42417.0. ;)

Is the way I'm calling Showtime like {Showtime show=1 wmode=transparent} correct or I have to set wmode in php inside the module?

This is the menu section of my CSS code. See in 'dropdown' subsection where the z-index is set to thousands!!
