[Pro] Carousel Text Tab

Can a Carousel text tab be applied to a grouped graphic, as to get a rollover effect? I’m getting a java error.

The Carousel Text tab creates text, and it does not integrate with anything. The Carousel Tab Action can be added to a grouped rollover element, I think. Make sure you are trying with the Carousel 2 Action, not the ancient Carousel Action that’s bundled inside Protaculous.

I have two graphics that are grouped with a rollover. Then I apply the Carousel Text Tab2 to the grouped graphic rollover.

I get an error that says this:

head has no properties
script=head.fwAdd(‘script’,true);

I would show you the page but Freeway won’t let me uploaded it with the error.

Am I applying this action wrong?

You are applying it incorrectly. I’m actually surprised that it works at all. Have you tried applying the Carousel 2 Tab to the grouped graphic? The Carousel 2 Text Tab should not apply to a page element at all – it’s meant to be inserted inline in a run of text.

Please follow these steps and see if what I describe works. Do this on a new page. My guess is that something unrelated on your page is hijacking the head tag and converting it to text too early in the publish process.

  1. New HTML5 page, not based on a template – utterly blank.
  2. Draw an HTML box on the page, fill it with a solid color. Duplicate it and change the color.
  3. Apply the Carousel 2 Action to the first box, then Carousel 2 Pane to the second. Make sure that the second has selected the first in the Actions palette – click once on the picker, which will have one option, just to be sure it realizes who its “daddy” is.
  4. Draw a graphic box. Fill it with a solid color. Duplicate it in place, and change the background color. Drag a selection handle around both boxes, and group.
  5. Repeat step 4 to make the other tab.
  6. Apply the Rollover Action to each of the grouped graphic tabs. Configure each one so that the rollover behaves the way you expect it to.
  7. Apply the Carousel 2 Tab to each of the rollover groups (drag a selection around the corner of each group before you do, so you’re sure that you’ve selected the group, rather than one or the other of the members of that group). Configure each tab to point to its appropriate pane.

Preview into a browser. I just tested these steps, and they work fine here.

What I found was that if you draw a graphic box in Freeway and insert text inside it, then duplicate it , change the the color of one of them, group them, add the rollover action and then add the Text Tab action, it will not work.
However, if you bring in graphic pngs or jpgs from let’s say illustrator, apply the same techniques. it works. Weird?

Sounds like a bug, or there’s something else going on in your document that you’re not aware of. The HTML should be identical, regardless whether the graphic box is filled with pictures of kittens or solid colors or graphic text. I just went through and added graphic text to my test document here. It worked fine.

Make sure that you haven’t added any links to the graphic boxes at all – especially not to the graphic text inside them. That’s a source of great weirdness.

If you visit here http://smartytest.com/sanchez/index.php
you can see that “About” which is a rollover graphic works with Carousel tab applied if the graphics were imported into Freeway as opposed to to using graphic text created in Freeway. Not sure what it is working?

lightbox.js is calling for builder.js (part of Scriptaculous) but it isn’t being loaded. In your page head, you have loaded effects only:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/scriptaculous/1.9/scriptaculous.js?load=effects" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
</script>

You need to change this to read:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/scriptaculous/1.9/scriptaculous.js?load=builder,effects" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
</script>

You have a conflict here with WebYep. I’m guessing that’s the issue.

Can I just add Protaculous 2 to the page and select builder or will that cause a conflict with Carousel 2. If not where do I place the line of code? In the ?

Yes, if you do that (also check Effects) you will “repair” the page.
