Hello,

I am trying to edit my website and to set a slideshow instead of having a single image on the homepage. I have downloaded the jf slideshow module extension, but I am having some issues with it: as far as I understand, every menu has to have an article in it in order to work, so when I first created the website I created an article to be associated with my homepage menu, just wrote a few words in it and made them white, so it is virtually invisible, as I actually only wanted an image taking the whole of the homepage. This is how I had my image module working on my homepage so far. But now, when I set the slideshow module it applies only to the background of the article, instead of taking the place of the single image, so it results in a tiny strip underneath the image, which is where the 'hidden' article is. Instead, I would like to obtain the same effect as the one shown in the template demo.

I am an amateur, and don't really have an understanding of how a website works in terms of code and structure, I can mainly work with the graphic interface, and I don't seem to be able to make the slideshow work just with that.

Also, I see that the template comes with jf Slideshow support, so it might be that I don't need the additional module at all and there is an integrated way of doing it...

Any direction would be really appreciated!
Thank you very much.

Can you please send me your website url?

You mean you want to use Slide Type is Background Supersized?

I would like to get the same type of homepage that's shown on the template demo, with a slideshow of different images and text on them.

At the moment I use a Custom Module in which I have just inserted the image that's on my homepage (the text on it is actually part of the image) and the module is assigned to the Slideshow position. I am not sure of what you mean with Background Supersized, I have checked the Module options and could not find it - I'm sorry!

Can you please send me the super admin access via private message system?
