I noticed that when we use the wec_contentelements extension, sometimes the images will all display one after the other on the page before collapsing into the space allotted for them. They work fine after that, but it makes for some odd page loads. Anyone else notice this? Is there a workaround to make the images load better? I also noticed similar behavior when I download an offline copy of the page(s). Viewing them shows all of the images at once instead of putting them into the area designed for them. I don't know if this is normal or not, but it makes some of the tweaking I want to do a little more difficult. I'd appreciate any suggestions if people have them. Thanks. -Peter |

Hey Pete, Which page on your site is using the rotating images? Are you able to duplicate the slow loading at http://demo.webempoweredchurch.org/ministries/ also? Thanks, Jeff |

Thanks, Jeff I've got it on the ahgtroop771.org site - pretty much every page. It's not a consistent - all the time thing, but it does happen at times and I even noticed it when I downloaded an offline copy to try to play with the CSS some without messing with the site. All of the images were just lined up in a column, one after the other. It is usually more noticeable after clearing the cache, but it can definitely happen. Just wondering why it loads that way - seems like there should be a better way to load the images that doesn't push them down the page and then collapse them all. Maybe I'm running more than the recommended amount of images, though. Hard to say right now. Thanks for taking a look. |

Jeff, If you'll be at the UG meeting tomorrow, I'll try to show it to you then. You likely won't see too much online (though it's possible with that wireless connection), but I can show you want it looks like offline. -Peter |

Jeff figured it out and there will likely be a change to this in an upcoming version of the various WEC_Skins, but if anyone else has this issue, it can be fixed with a change to the mainstyles.css file. Add the following to the file: div.rotator { overflow:hidden } Apparently the images are just all loaded one after another on the page, then some javascript hides/collapses all of them so that they aren't visible. Makes sense, but looks odd on slower servers until the page(s) are cached. If you've modified a default skin or created a copy of it, you'll need to modify it yourself if you want/need this change. |
