Hello

2 months later, is there any news about this responsive version of Frontpage Slideshow, that I'm waiting for too ?

Still waiting for responsive version. Can you please update us on the status?

I did it !
For my use, it's working pretty well. But each of you have certainly specific needs and settings...
So to help a bit more, here are the slideshow module settings :

Module class suffix : -
Feature slide : show
Template : Movies
Slideshow viewport width : 860
Slideshow viewport height : 400
Sidebar width : 240
jQuery library handling : Do not load the jQuery library
Transition effect : crossfade
Delay time : 6000
Transition time : 1000
Autostart slideshow : yes
Texteffect : Enable
Text transition... : 300
Timer progress bar : no

Thumbnail viewport width : 65
Thumbnail viewport height : 40
Website visitors can switch slides manually on... mouse click
Navigation lavalamp effect : Disabled
Hide navigation bar completely? No

Title : show
Text : show
Tagline : hide
Author : hide
Read more link : show
Read more target : same window
Category : hide
Fetch data from 3rd party... : no
Slide order : use component ordering
Slide limit : -
Word limit for slide text : 20
Disable slide links : no


Next step - the CSS - it's all about text, spaces and some background changes (part of it) :

.fpss-template-movies .slidetext {padding:30px 15px 15px 15px!important; height:355px!important}
.fpss-template-movies .slidetext h1, .fpss-template-movies .slidetext h1 a:hover {color:#009ddc!important}
.fpss-template-movies .slidetext h1, .fpss-template-movies .slidetext h1 a {font-size:40px!important}
#fpssContainer113.fpss-template-movies .slides-wrapper {background:none!important}
.fpss-template-movies .slidetext {background:none!important; background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.80)!important}
#fpssContainer113.fpss-template-movies .navigation-wrapper {background:none!important; background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.70)!important}


And finally, the responsive CSS :

@media (max-width: 979px) {
.fpss-template-movies {width:100%!important; height:auto!important}
.slides-wrapper {width:100%!important}
.fpss-template-movies .navigation-wrapper {float:none!important; height:auto!important; width:100%!important}
.navigation-wrapper .navigation li {float:left!important}
.fpss-template-movies .slidetext {padding: 20px 10px 10px 10px!important; height:auto!important; left:10px!important}
.fpss-template-movies .slidetext p {margin-bottom:40px!important}
}

@media (max-width: 767px) {
.fpss-template-movies .slidetext h1, .fpss-template-movies .slidetext h1 a {font-size: 25px!important}
.fpss-template-movies .slide, .fpss-template-movies .slide img {height:300px!important; width:641px!important}
.slides-wrapper {height:300px!important}
}

@media (max-width: 480px) {
.fpss-template-movies .slidetext {width:60%!important}
.fpss-template-movies .slide, .fpss-template-movies .slide img {height:225px!important; width:480px!important}
.slides-wrapper {height:225px!important}
.navigation-wrapper .navigation li {float:none!important; width:100%!important}
.fpss-template-movies .slidetext h1 {padding:0!important}
}

@media (max-width: 380px) {
.fpss-template-movies .slidetext {left:0!important; width:80%!important}
.fpss-template-movies .slide {overflow:visible!important}
.fpss-template-movies .slide, .fpss-template-movies .slide img {height:159px!important; width:340px!important}
}

@media (max-width: 320px) {
.fpss-template-movies .slidetext {left:0!important; width:80%!important}
.fpss-template-movies .slide {height:145px!important; width:310px!important}
.fpss-template-movies .slide img {display:none!important}
}

Hope it helps...

pattac,

Can you post a URL for your website so we can view it?

I'm a little bit upset here.... such a long time and such an important topic: i mean, responsive design is all around... and one of the best known slider modules for Joomla isn't be responsive..?

Would be a good idea, if one of the mods/admins respond.....

Yeah,
i bought Fronpage Slideshow a few days ago but did not expected that it is not responsive. This is very poor i must say.
When you are going to make it responsive?

Guys,

Quit beating a dead horse.  It's been well over a year since they said they would release a FPS responsive designed component.  It hasn't happened.  That tells you two things.  They have bigger fish to fry and don't really care about updating the FPS component and they don't really know how to do it.  If they did, they would have updated it already.  At least, that is my opinion from their inaction.

This is really dissappointing. I'm converting a few sites to responsive design, and I would love to continue using FPSS. However, thanks to how the images are brought into the slides, I'm having a ton of trouble getting those to adjust properly. Now I'm going to have to try and find a different slideshow that has all of the same features. I most likely will not renew after this, not having a responsive version available is bad business.

I was also unable to find this in the JED - has it been removed?

I think this is a must have functionality these days...

right.

new update for FrontPage Slideshow but still no responsive mode...that's it. I cancel my subscription and go for another slideshow plugin....

Hey Guys,
has there been an update on this ? Already purchased FPSS a few times now and still waiting on responsive design.

Hello

Yes, as of March 11, 2014 there is NOT a responsive Frontpage Slideshow that is available.  Which of course as you all know is not good for us.  I also am a new user to purchase such a great program but cannot use the product.

Maybe next year it will be responsive.  My next purchase will be in 2015.  Lets give them 1 more year to get this done.

We all know it is not an easy task and they need the time to figure out how to make this happen.

I would say this product is dead. Although they will still sell it here, it is not even listed on the JED anymore. Without this component being responsive, its pretty useless in 2014. Their silence on this thread speaks volumes...

I see you just edited your post. So if its your business decision to not list your commercial products in the JED, it doesn't change what I originally stated. I personally find that to be a foolish decision as the JED is the number one place where prospective customers would seek out a suitable product.

As for quality software not getting built in a week or two, I agree. But it also doesn't take 1 1/2 years. Since this post www.joomlaworks.net/forum/frontpage-slideshow-for-joomla/12675-responsive-design?start=10#49069 said you were working on it back then. No one from your organization has commented on this thread since that time, so there was no reason to believe that the product would ever be made responsive.

Fotis wrote: It's certainly not dead. It's actually a top seller for us along with SIGPro.

And it was listed in the JED ages ago (like back in 2007) - we deliberately don't list our commercial extensions in the JED because reviews are not accurate. Just check what people post for our free extensions. Most our everything BUT reviews.

As for v4.x, the update got postponed because a) we put more weight on K2 and b) we essentially redesigned all frontend slideshow layouts. Realistically speaking, we'll see v4.x being released around May.

Quality software doesn't get built in a week or two.

Hi there..

Any news on this issue...
all the items on our new site are responsive except for fpss.. :(

Here is another new user looking for responsive design. PLEASE get us there. Has I know before purchase I would have waited.

Thanks
Amgeek

I am more interested in seeing version 4.0.0 right now with the new features and templates. I hope the new features worth all the waiting.

PS: I really want to see a template with tiles.

So we've established that there is still no responsive design built in to FPSS. But is there a way to tinker with code somewhere to make it responsive? I read an earlier post saying this:
fpss-container {
max-width: 1000px;
width: 100%; }
.fpss-container .slides img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto; }

But does this actually work? And if so, what file does it need to go into? If anyone has a way to manually code it to make it responsive i would love to hear. I have a number of clients using FPSS but will look for a different component if there's no way to make it responsive.

I wouldn't bother. Besides tweaking the display space of the component itself, you still need all of the media queries to get it to adapt to various screen sizes. I would look for another component that is still being actively developed. We're leaning towards Raxo Carousel right now.
