I too would like to know how to integrate this feature as well as the others seen here:

http://t3-framework.org/typography.html

Is there a page with instructions for doing so anywhere? I can't seem to find anything!

Hi Malik,

Bootstrap carousel require their markup html and javacript call.

You can add a custom html module and publish to position-1 (or any position you like)
You also need to add the script call also.
By default Joomla editor will remove script tag, so you need to set the default editor on global configuration to None, or remove script tag from the blacklist tag in editor plugin.

After you done the setting above, you can try to paste this block code (from bootstrap link above):

<div id="myCarousel" class="carousel slide">
<div class="carousel-inner">
<div class="item active">
<img src="http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/img/examples/slide-01.jpg" alt="">
<div class="container">
<div class="carousel-caption">
<h1>Example headline.</h1>
<p class="lead">Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.</p>
<a class="btn btn-large btn-primary" href="#">Sign up today</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="item">
<img src="http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/img/examples/slide-02.jpg" alt="">
<div class="container">
<div class="carousel-caption">
<h1>Another example headline.</h1>
<p class="lead">Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.</p>

<div class="carousel-caption">
<h1>One more for good measure.</h1>
<p class="lead">Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.</p>
<a class="btn btn-large btn-primary" href="#">Browse gallery</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<a class="left carousel-control" href="#myCarousel" data-slide="prev">‹</a>
<a class="right carousel-control" href="#myCarousel" data-slide="next">›</a>
</div>
<script>
!function ($) {
$(function(){
// carousel demo
$('#myCarousel').carousel()
})
}(window.jQuery)
</script>


You need to replace the image source link.

Hi Josh,

T3 Typography is based on Bootstrap Typography. You can always use the same markup and class from http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/base-css.html#typography
and you will get the result as show in http://t3-framework.org/typography.html.
Just follow the markup and class, put all of theme to custom html module or joomla article.


Regards

Works flawlessly!!! Only thing you need to do is to change location of images!

This is my modification of code!

Hello,

I came across a problem when implementing bootstrap carousel on T3 Framework V 1.3.1. Conflicts occur between java script in carousel code and mootools-more.js

EDIT: I discovered solutions for my problems, explanation is below

This is the problem:




Solution for carousel:

Replace original JS code

<script>

!function ($) {

$(function(){



// carousel demo

$('#myCarousel').carousel()



})

}(window.jQuery)

</script>

With this code

<script>



        jQuery(document).ready(function(){

            jQuery('#myCarousel').each(function(index, element) {

                jQuery(this)[index].slide = null;

            });

            jQuery('#myCarousel').carousel('cycle');

        });



</script>

Solution for bootstrap popover and tooltip:

Explanation and solution

Just need to add class "hasTooltip" to <a> tag or any tag has the tooltip function.

example:

 

<div class="span2 offset2 hidden-phone" style="text-align: center">

            <a class="hasTooltip" id="myPopover"><img src="/images/teacher.gif"></a></div>

</div>





<script>

!function ($) {

$(function(){



// tooltip demo



$("#myPopover").popover({title: 'Hello', content: "Testing popover!", trigger: "hover",  placement: "left" });

})



}(window.jQuery)

</script>

I'm posting this here to find permanent solution, and to isolate the root of the problem. One thing I want to mention. I did not had this problem on earlier version of T3 Framework even when I updated earlier version on local server to V 1.3.1 everything worked fine. I came across a problem when I installed fresh t3_blank_j31.zip V 1.3.1 on hosted server. Will this problem be solved any time soon?

Hi Max,

You are right. This is a conflict between Bootstrap Javascript and Mootools-More.
Since Bootstrap and Mootool-More are both core parts of Joomla. We can not do anything.

We can not remove conflict functions (there are several of them) of every element in the document (the performance issue).
This should be done when someone use it.

Though T3 has remove ('show', 'hide') for hasTooltip and dropdown as it is more common.

I am not sure this problem is only from T3 1.3.1. Please check again if mootools-more is loaded on your local server.

Regards

You are right, mootools-more.js is not loaded on local server. That's not a big deal now, I relocated my project to hosted server! I managed to find optimal solution for my problems explained in earlier post. Thank you for your explanation of a problem!

Best regards!

Hello

I am trying to integrate the http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/examples/carousel.html type carosel

I can get the carosel to work as a custom HTML module or using the code injection feature (many thanks max for posting the script fix). However as custom module it is the width of the framework and as injection it is above the T3 menu and logo positions. I would like it to be floated behind the logo & search bar and full width as it is in the bootstrap example

i have added a new position to the template called rearfloat - however i am new to much of this and have little idea how to move this behind the T3 logo, search and language changer positions and set it full width. could anyone give me some pointers and the best way to achieve the effect?

many thanks in advance

Hi anomatron,

T3 Blank has several positions by default.
You can assign the module to those home positions.

T3 Blank is a starter template. It required your CSS and PHP knowledge to customize.
If you are new to Joomla and web development. I would recommend you play with Joomla default and buy some templates to see how it work.

Regards

Hi anomatron,

I founded solution for your problem, it is not simple and it is not final. Requires a lot of changes. I hope you will manage to follow steps, and hope this is what you want.

1. Need to go to Extensions - Template - and chose your default (I worked with T3-blank-home1)
2. Go to Layout
3. Save as Copy (do not do this with your default template so you can start over if somethings go wrong)
4. In this step we need to get rid of 'header' which contains Logo and Search module
5. On your FTP find joomla-root-folder\templates\t3_blank\tpls
6. Open newly created 'Save as Copy" *.php file (see step 3)
- find <?php $this->loadBlock ('header') ?>
- delete it
- find <?php $this->loadBlock ('mainnav') ?>
- rename 'mainnav' with 'mainnav-carousel'
- save
7. Go to joomla-root-folder\templates\tpls\blocks
- find mainnav.php
- duplicate it and rename second file to mainnav-carousel
- open mainnav-carousel and in it paste this code

    .navbar .btn-navbar {

11. This code worked without carousel javascript, if you encounter slide problems add this after </style> in Injection

<script>



        jQuery(document).ready(function(){



            jQuery('#myCarousel').each(function(index, element) {



                jQuery(this)[index].slide = null;



            });



            jQuery('#myCarousel').carousel('cycle');



        });



</script>

12. That should be it. I repeat, this is not final solution and it has a lot of room for improvement.

In attached file you can see how it looks like, and you can find slider photos. Photos needs to be in joomla-root-folder\images\slide

Max I've followed your guide and it works, but what if I want the menu under (outside) the carousel?
Thanks in advance.

If I understand correctly, the best way to do that is to add menu to the module position that is below carousel module.

How do you update (change/add/remove text/images) to the slideshow? Editing a static HTML file is not a very dynamic solution really. Is there a better way with T3 Framework and/or K2?

^ Solved. Solution is to override article/category templates.

I know this post is a little old, but did you ever figure out a more elegant solution to having a full-width carousel behind the navbar? Its no big deal for me to edit the HTML, but I'm handing this site off to the client and that's when it will become an issue. Thanks!

Hi Pat,

What template (T3 Blank or T3 BS3 Blank template)? and what's the template and T3 plugin version?

Gardner.

Thanks Gardner.

I'm using T3 BS3 Blank 2.1.4 and T3 2.2.1

Best,
Pat

Bumping topic above men's suit spam...
Anyone????

Hey Guys,

because this thread is already helping, i keep asking here.
I'm using t3-bs3-blank on Joomla 3.3.1 to create a custom Template.
I mainly used Max markup and added some things:
- background image that is fixed behind the carousel
- thumbnail class for images
- box-shadow style for images

These addings actually worked out pretty well.

But somehow my arrows align to the top and don't stay in the middle.

<div class="custom" style="background-image: url('/images/banners/panorama/body-back.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover; background-attachment: fixed;">

<div id="myCarousel" class="carousel slide">

<div class="carousel-inner"><!--Slide 1-->

Hopefully you see the mistake, that i can't find.
And sorry for my english

Hi Sunny,

It's very kind of you to provide a screenshot with explanation so we can catch your point easier.

Gardner.

Hi Gardner,

thanx for answering.
Do you see those tiny litte arrows on top?
They are supposed to be larger and in the middle

Thanx for looking.
Sunny
