Moving from RokSProcket

Hi Alexander,
You're welcome and thanks for using JR Prism Pro.

I'll take a look at your requests and get back to you ASAP.

Hi Alexander,
I looked at your site. You use RokSprocket Strips in two places. The galleries row uses the xScroll theme, and the block above it uses Apollo.
Both themes come from your RocketTheme Myriad template, not from RokSprocket itself.

Here is what JR Prism can and cannot do today.

Text inside the images: yes. The Mosaic layout puts the title and description on top of the image, with a dark gradient so the text stays readable.

Horizontal scrolling: not yet. The layout called "Scroller" in JR Prism is a different thing. It shows a list of titles on the left and a preview on the right. The "Showcase" layout is a slider, it shows one item at a time.
So there is no direct replacement for your xScroll row right now.

I have added a Strips layout to my plan for JR Prism Pro. It is the biggest missing feature compared to RokSprocket, and your message moved it up the list.

One question before I build it. When you say "different frame sizes", do you mean:
1. Different sizes in different modules. For example one row with small images and another row with big images, like your Apollo and xScroll rows now.
2. Different sizes inside the same row. Images with different widths next to each other.

Your site uses the same size inside each row now, so I think you mean the first one, but please confirm.

Dear Mohamed,
Thank you for so quick answer.
I do understand. 
When I wrote about two sizes, I mean two different strips with two different sizes. All pictures in one strip have the same size of course.
Don't worry I got with custom.css assistance what I want. 

In any case waiting for updates...

Have a nice day.
Sincerely,
Alexander

Hi Alexander,

Thank you, that is clear. Two strips with different sizes, and the same size inside each strip. That is what I planned, so the new layout will cover your case.

Good to hear that custom.css solved it for now.

May I ask you a small favour? JR Prism is new on the Joomla Extensions Directory and it has only one review. Reviews help a lot for a new extension, and it takes about a minute:
extensions.joomla.org/write-review/revie...d?extension_id=17368

No problem at all if you prefer to wait until you finish your migration.

I will let you know when the Strips layout is ready.

Have a nice day.

Regards,
Mohamed

+1 for the strips display.

Trevor

Hi Trevor,

Thanks for the +1. The Strips layout is planned for JR Prism Pro, and each vote helps me decide what to build next.

Can you tell me a bit about how you would use it? For example, do you move from RokSprocket Strips too, and which theme do you use there? A link to the page is also fine.

I will post here when the layout is ready.

Regards,
Mohamed

Hi Trevor,

Thanks, this helps a lot. I looked at both sites. On the old site the bottom row is a carousel from the Fluent template, not RokSprocket: 3 images at a time, the caption under each image, and it moves by itself every few seconds.

I am building a new “Strips” layout for JR Prism Pro, a horizontal row of items with arrows. I will add the two things your row needs: the caption under the image, and autoplay. I will not add it to the Scroller layout, because Scroller is the list + preview layout.

I also saw that some titles on your new site show inside <p> tags. I will fix this in JR Prism so you don’t need to change your articles.

I will post here when the update is ready.

Hi,
 JR Prism 1.3.0 is out, and it has the new Strips layout (Pro).Strips shows a row of items that scrolls sideways, with arrows and a scrollbar. You set it in the module, under Layout: "Strips (horizontal row)".Please try it and tell me how it works on your sites. If something is missing, write here.

Mohamed
