Acorn's modification is a nice start, got rid of the buttons below the photos. I'd still like to get rid of the text box totally. You can setup a weblink when someone clicks on the image, but, don't have the option to open the link in a new window/tab. Really like the concept and thought process of how to eliminate the darn slide # buttons/icons.
Glad you found it useful.
Everything you need it already there.
To just have the the images showing;
  • In the widget proper, delete all text on the Caption Bar. I keep a space so I can add text back later; otherwise, you have to add a Name (WTag:text:caption) back to the new text.
  • remove the following Placeholders:
    • NivoSlider - Red text, Green text, Blue text
    • NivoSlider - WhiteBar
    • NivoSlider - Centred text
    • NivoSlider - Right text
  • You retain NivoSlider - no Navigation, no Control, no CaptionBar.

NivoSlider was not designed for adding hyperlinks.
The only way I have at present is to retain the Caption Bar and text and wrap in in an HTML link tag: <a href="websiteURL" target="_blank"> Caption text</a>

I will have a think about it. At present what i might do is Name all the images and then use jQuery to wrap a link around each.
