Is there a Freeway Pro action that duplicates the sliding effect of the 1,2, and 3 buttons in this Joomla template? RocketTheme Demos

Can you adjust the size of the carousel so that it’s almost a full page like the Joomla template and do the buttons (tabs) have to be attached or is there another navigation device for carousel?

Carousel can be laid out however you like. The only restriction is
that the effect area must be a defined (not percentage) width.
There are three different ways to make the effect transition between
panes: Buttons, Tabs, and Auto-glide.
If you create a graphic (anywhere on the same page) and apply the
Carousel Button to it, clicking that graphic will move the carousel
forward or back, depending on the choice you made in the Action when
you applied it to that graphic. You can have as many of these (or
none) as you like. Each one will drive the effect in one direction only.
Tabs allow you to create navigation to a particular pane of the
carousel, so you would make one for each option. Apply the Carousel
Tabs Action to it, and choose which Carousel and which option within
that Carousel you want the tab to select.
Auto-glide is set in the Carousel Action itself, and is a time (in
seconds) between automatic navigation to the next option. If you have
any of the tabs or buttons enabled, then clicking one of those
controls will stop the auto-glide behavior for the remainder of the
page view. If you want to make it start again, you can create a
graphic, apply Carousel Button to it, and choose the Start option.

Okay, I tried this a few minutes ago and although Carousel appears to be working, every time I preview the page I get this error message:
Relative Page Layout Folder Action
The Action will be ignored on the following pages because they are set as HTML 3.2 or contain table based items:
“Test” (this is what I’m calling the page)
How do I fix this?

Just do as the instructions say - remove any Table based items ie convert them to CSS (layered) ones. And/or change the HTML picker (3rd Tab in the Page Inspector) to HTML 4.0.1 or above.

My webpage is already 4.01.
Is there any easy way to identify table based items, because I don’t see any? Thanks!

Table based items have a Blue bounding box
Make sure that you have View>Outlines enabled

I’m using Carousel panes in my webpage that are 687 x 577 pixels. I want to move these off of the page and onto the desktop, but the desktop isn’t large enough. How can I increase its size?

Go into File>Document setup.
Under the Document tab there is a section where you can specify your pasteboard width.
Just type in a figure that is large enough to accommodate your carousel panes.

Thanks David. BTW, please help me understand what the Action, “Remove from relative page layout does.” Apparently, I need to add that to my carousel and carousel pane to make it work.

Select the item in the HTML item Inspector and simply check/tick the Layer option to convert to CSS positioning.

please help me understand what the Action, “Remove from relative page layout does.”
The RPL action simulates/creates an inline page construction when the page wasn’t constructed that way.
So to negate that feature you can choose individual elements and add the remove RPL action to them. You can also add the action as a Page action ie Page>Page Actions>Remove from RPL.
I suggest that you add this as a Page action for this particular page. I am assuming that your site is based on a Template that has this action applied to its Site Folder.

How do you set the carousel pane order?

The panes appear in whatever order they were created in the page. You
can influence this by clicking on the header at the top of the Site
pane (left side of the Freeway interface) until it reads Page. At that
point, you will see a list of all elements on the page. The names that
have little yellow cog badges are the elements on the page that have
Actions applied to them, so those will mostly be your panes.
The Carousel itself is always the first pane – whatever you applied
Carousel to becomes the first step. From there, the elements that have
Carousel Pane applied to them are gathered in source code order. So if
you drag those elements lower in the list, and into an order you
prefer, they will sort into that order in the effect. Lower in the
list equals later in the carousel.
Remember, anything with Carousel Pane applied to it is effectively
removed from the page when the Action runs, so you don’t have to worry
about where those elements are placed on your page. They could be all
stacked in one part of the pasteboard, or even in the visible part of
the page, no difference in the final effect.

Thanks Walter.
I’ve noticed that when I try to remove Carousel Panes around on the desktop, they are sometimes grouped together, so when I move one, it moves the others as well. I have no idea how these are getting grouped together. What am I doing wrong?

That’s hard to say without looking at your layout. It’s possible that
you drew one element on top of another, and then you’re trying to move
one of the child elements instead of the parent or group. Nested
elements like that are similar in handling to grouped elements. To
move a group of elements, you need to “sneak up” on the edge of the
group, watching the cursor until it turns into a hollow-headed arrow
with a tail, and then click and drag. This is a very tiny gripper area
– only 1px wide or tall, depending on the edge – so it’s very
difficult to do. Best is to use the Page view of the site pane to
locate the element, then click on its name in the list to highlight it
(all its children will be indented below it, and they will move along
with it), and then use the Inspector to move it “by the numbers”
