Hi there,

I updated Sliders with the release 8.2.2. It is not working anymore.

I created a test website to show you one problem.

- Please go to that page: migration.guillenphoto.com/en/2-essentia...ng-and-creative.html
- Scroll down to see "Table of Contents".
- when you click, nothing happens. It is stuck.
- to check my production site, go to ww.guillenphoto.com/en/2-essential-steps...ng-and-creative.html
- it works with release 8.2.0.

Here is the code I use:
<p>{slider title="Table of Contents" open="true" class="info"}</p>
</p>

Please would you help me to solve that issue?

I can give you the credits to the backend.

Looking forward to reading your reply.

I do not think so.

The template I use is Gavick Creativity. My production website uses Sliders 8.2.0: it works.
The test website uses the release 8.2.2 and in some cases it does not work.

I say some cases because for example on this page: migration.guillenphoto.com/en/black-and-...r-national-park.html

It works fine. I use slider with a different syntax but it worls.

More information regarding my issue...

If you check that page migration.guillenphoto.com/en/7-tips-to-...-digital-photos.html , it works fine.
This is the same structure for the article.

So I decided to copy/paste all the contents of that page to the other page. The problem occurs.

If I go back to version 8.2.0, it works.

I found several others pages where the issue happens even in the second language:
migration.guillenphoto.com/fr/pourquoi-e...-affut-flottant.html

I guess it is related to Sliders. But I do not understand what it is going on.

I made some tests.

I disable almost all the extensions I use.

When I disable the extension Ignite Gallery, it works fine. I am using it to display wall of images.

Maybe there is a problem between that extension and the release 8.2.2 of Sliders. It works fine with the release 8.2.0.
And as I said, it is not the case on all pages.

Do you think that it could be the case?
If I contact the developer, what should I ask?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply.

So what should I ask to the developer of Ignite Gallery. So far, it seems that his extension creates the problem.

Please would you tell me what the name of the attribute to give him a clue?

I just contacted the developer of Ignite Gallery and asked for help.
I will come back to you as soon I have news from him.

I have the same problem, using a rather old template Business Pro. I have too many extensions to be able to work out which one is creating the problem and sliders are key to the website. Is it possible to send me the previous version so that I can get the website working again. www.pgweb.uk It has separate desktop and mobile templates - sliders seem to work on mobile, which uses Protostar.

I've found the old versions for downloading - sorry, didn't see it before - and installed 8.2.0, which is what I had previously, and the sliders are working again.

Searching the page source code for hidden="true" I could only find aria-hidden="true", which was in some template overrides that I created myself.

Thanks Peter, but I've no idea what to do, other than stick with the outdated version.

Are you sure that it's the change from "aria-hidden" to "hidden" that is at the root of this. Were there any other changes?

On my test website with 8.2.2 I've enabled maximum error reporting but nothing is showing up and there are no errors showing in the browser console either, but the sliders aren't working.

Thanks, Peter.

See above for log in details to the development website.

The live website is at www.pgweb.uk .

The website has all sorts of peculiarities and crude hacks, for example I've rewritten the blog pages and tag pages to use the metadesc field instead of the introtext field. Same with the RSS feed, which is used to populate the Latest News and Comment section on the home page.

There are separate desktop and mobile templates.

The mobile template is a hacked about version of Protostar renamed protostarpgc - no problems with sliders with this template.

The desktop template is a pre-Bootstrap template called business_pro. This is where all the problems with sliders are - so the probability is that the template is to blame.

There are separate home pages for desktop and mobile, but they both have plenty of sliders!

Hi Peter,

It works for me too.

As I said in a previous reply, I contacted the developer of Ignite Gallery. He was looking for a solution but he did not find anything wrong. I am glad you found it was on your side.

Right now, everything works correctly.

I am so happy because as Basil Clark, I am using a lot Sliders on my website.
I am waiting for the version for Joomla 4 to migrate.

I am going to send an email to Matt of Ignite Gallery to ask to stop to work on the issue.

Thanks for all
Sincerely

Thanks Peter. Amazingly quick response, as always, and at the weekend too! Interesting though that the issue only occurred with one of the two templates I use.

Hi Peter,

the dev-version Sliders-v8.2.3-dev2404430-PRO solved my challenges too 😉

Best,
Boris
