Hi,
Thanks for this wonderful module.
I have a slight issue: using the Bartik Plus theme (aka Bartik with Superfish drop-down menus) the last items of the menus go "under" the rotating banner block located in the first sidebar. They correctly float "over" the search box block located in the same area.
Please see http://www.turmar.ma, first menu if I'm not clear.
Reading the theme docs it seems that in the rotating banner CSS I should "set the z value to zero".
Before I start tinkering around, did someone run into the issue before?
Thanks,

Firebug shows the z-index for the slideshow in that block as 13. Try lowering it and see what happens. Here's more info on z-index: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Understanding_CSS_z-index/Adding_z-inde...

Hi !

Thanks for the reply.

Following your comment, I see that each slide has its own z-index, counting down from 12 to 1 and the whole block has 13.

Nowhere in the Rotating Banner code itself is the z-index mentioned, however I find it quite a number of times in the JQuery.Cycle.js element, apparently referencing the css' z-index.

From what I understand now, I need to "feed" a starting z-index to the JQuery.Cycle plugin via css. I'll dive into its code and will report.

Thanks !

Solved !

Modify sites/all/modules/rotating_banner/rotating_banner.css and add z-index: 0; as such:

.rotating-banner .rb-slides {
/* border: 1px dashed #aaa; */
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
width: auto;
z-index: 0; /* this is the add */
};

Then clear all caches !!!!! (important lol)

Thanks

I'm currently using Bartik Plus and having issues similar to TAM above with regard to my drop down menu floating behind my rotating banner slider. However, I created my banner with "Views" at the top of my content block. I understand that modifying "z-index" will do the trick, but does anyone know which file and elements to make the modification.

Thanks.

Found the alternate solution via modifying the z:index in Bartik Plus "menu_style.css"
