I am using a moodle.org sponsored theme and trying to customize the slider - would like black box with text to be lower, not midway. Any advise?
Jeanne, looks like you dropped your idea of continuing use of Fiesta theme that you mentioned earlier, by no means Mary, Richard or myself included wanted you to step back from your purchased theme, it was just that premium themes are not as open to community to have a look inside to assist. Anyway, regarding Academi's slider, usually these are pre-written codes embedded into themes by theme developers, best place to write your query is where theme developers can directly assist you, making it the theme download page as linked below
https://moodle.org/plugins/theme_academi
I am sure someone will be there to assist you from the developers team.
Thanks Usman,
I figure that I can always go back to Fiesta, but the Academi theme is very nice and I really need the support community.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Using firebug gives the css controlling the position of the black box for content on the academi slider as
.carousel-overlay-content .content-wrap {padding: 110px 75px;}
So you can add a similar line to the academi customcss setting but alter the numbers - given that you want it in the bottom, this will mean giving two vertical numbers, one for the top and one for the bottom as they will no longer mirror, so instead of the 110px 75px you will need something like...
.carousel-overlay-content .content-wrap {padding: 200px 75px 20px;}(the 200px + 20px = 2x 110px for the vertical padding top and bottom respectively - adjust as required)

PS don't forget to purge all caches - I haven't checked whether academi does that automatically as some themes do, but it doesn't hurt anyway
Thanks Mary will do. Moodle is also 3.0
It worked, thanks Richard! Now I just have to fiddle with one of the slides that has 2 black squares on it from the slider.
The box is now in a better position. Trying to get rid of those little black squares. This is shaping up. Thanks again.
Have you made any other changes as the box that the text is in looks to be in the correct position, it's just that the paragraphs look to have been restyled too, which is odd! Did you remove the background color too?
I only moved the black box. It looks OK now. I must have added some extra breaks, cleaned up the text code.
OK...glad it is working OK now.
Great stuff!
