seems that the dimensions that i am setting in the slider options do not match that of my actual images. I have set my options to reflect 800 x 300 as you see below.



however, seems that the template or the module itself is settting it a different size as you can see by visiting the website. It should be displaying as picture above.

Any thoughts?

Thanks again,

Caleb

p.s. in case your wondering im still waiting to find out how to fix the stacking of the logo ontop of the slideshow in another post.

thought i fixed this, but after making a few changes and doing the global check in, the issue returned.

The image you are linking to, and the images I see on the site are 720x250. Are you trying to stretch the images bigger? I'm not sure that is possible, let alone able to give you good quality images. Have you tried using a image that is the size you require? Resizing on every page load is going to crush your page load times.

Hey matt, thanks for replying.

All of the images in that slideshow are formatted 720 x 250. For a brief time yesterday when i had my dimensions set at 800 x 300 it was working, but then when i switched over to the new size the sliders is now cropping my photos again. That slider you see is not 720 x 250. The image, if you right-click, and go to properties, says its 720 x 250, but the slider is not displaying that dimension correctly.

The first thing that I notice is your image on the left side is 467. The templates width is 950. The SuperSlider has around 480px to fit it's image. The math doesn't add up. You should try and either crop or unpublish your left image first. Wen you do that the SuperSlider will have the room. Yo9ur left image will haev to be under 150px for the SuperSlider to display images at 800px.

And again, I strongly urge to not to use images that are 720, and make SuperSlider stretch them to 800.

thanks for the help matt,
seems that if i assign any other module to the same position (dark rational - user1), regardless of size, the slider crops itself and there is a huge space between the modules. I even tried resizing the left image to just 10px x 10px same result.

just fyi i wan the slider to display at 720 x 250 which means my left image can be up to 230px wide, right?

i have tried adjusting padding by looking in the css of the modules, templates, & also the slider's css located in modules directory. nothing works. Im about to give up and find another 3rd party ext. to handle this, but i really like how simple and eas this one is, plus its free...so please help me!!! :D

Ok, the left module is the problem. Can you please unpublish the left module in that position. The one holding the logo. Once you do that the slider should function properly.

so are you saying that the slider will never work properly if published side-by-side with another module? if so thats very disappointing.

respectfully,
caleb

I never said that. I said can you please unpublish the left module. When debugging issues you have to find out what is right, and what is wrong, and work your way backwards. Initially your images were too small, and you where trying to size them up using the SuperSlider. That, compounded with the left module being too big, was causing you issues. I think you also may have had a stray in the left module which was creating additional padding, but I do not know for sure.
You are also using a INtelli Module position. These positions are designed to auto balance the modules you put in there. For example if you put 2 modules in, they both re-size to 400px. If you put 4 modules in there, they re-size to 225px and so forth.
You were trying to use that space in a way that was never really intended, or possibly a way that was more complicated then needed.

I see you have switched modules however, so I am guessing you have went a different direction.

Matt, terribly sorry about that. Thanks for all your help, i just misunderstood you. Yes i have gone a different direction entirely, however this may be something that someone else wants to try and do. would you like me unpublish my current module and return to the previous for testing purposes?
