How to place captions for slideshow carousel on the actual slides???

[Brief]

Hi guys,

loving this theme and I am hoping to finally complete my site within the next few weeks. On our homepage we plan on having a full width carousel and would like the captions to show on the actual images. Left aligned at bottom left of slide with slide numbers on bottom left also on image. This should not be too hard to achieve but not sure how exactly. Could someone please help me out? Would like to have it like the site below.

@brief Hi Thomas,

So... Here's how you can do this.

You need a fullscreen slider. In 'Lay Options - fullscreen slider' you need to change the 'Direction' to 'Horizontal' and enable 'Slide on page click' and also enable 'fading effect'. You need to disable 'show navigation'.

Then on the page you have the slider you need to put your images into rows and right-click to enable 'user browser height for row height' on each row.

You're going to need to cheat a little to do the captions and numbers here. For each slide you'll need to manually add the caption and place in the gridder and the same with the slide number. If you have a 5% left/right frame then you'll need to right click on your caption and slide number and add '5' to 'space below'. Make sure the text frames are set to bottom alignment.

This will then make your captions and numbers nice and neat and equal. You can of course set these to whatever you like. And don't forget to clone these to save yourself time and keep your formatting nice and neat!

It's a little effort but this is the way to do it. Im sure there is a way to then change the duration of the 'fade effect' but I havn't looked into that - it's definately possible though.

I hope this helps!

@brief Add this to custom css &html for no transition between your slides:

.fp-slide {
-webkit-transition: all 50ms ease!important;
transition: all 50ms ease!important;
}

Hi this is great thank you but kind of a different direction than what I was thinking. I should have been more clear. The site I showed was just an example of for the captions at the bottom. I have a site.

I am using the cover the option with a full width carousel at the top for the slideshow. What I want to do is have the captions for the carousel lay at the bottom on top of the actual slide images??? There must be some code to adjust the placement of each slide caption.

Hope someone can help :)

Dear @Brief
right now I cannot see a page on your website with a Carousel activated.

But you can just move the captions up with Custom CSS.

I hope that helps!
