Hi Kriesi,

the slides already are in the right order. What I wanna do is to alternate the post that the slider starts with, depending on wich article the user is reading (since the slider is shown only on specific single-post pages).

Let’s say we have 4 projects. On the single post page (single.php is the template for that) of project 1 the slider should start with project 1, on the page of project 2 with project 2 and so on. The order itself of the projects in the slider is not affected.

I realize that this will need some changes in the template. I’m not yet able to write PHP or Javascript from scratch so if it’s not possible with a simple “change value X in line y” or copy&paste-advice then I’m going to find another solution :-).

thanks, Nil

I am afraid, this isnt a simple change of a value within the template. actually when thinking about it I cant even imagine how to pull this off without rewriting major portions of the code, sorry…

Ok thats basically what I wanted to hear. Now I know that it’s impossible and that I have to find another solution.

Note sure what I’m doing wrong, but when I save a portfolio post it won’t save the associated custom fields (i.e. images) with it. So the folio post shows up without any images.

I’ve added folio items successfully in the past and I’m basically duplicating what I’ve done previously, so I’m not sure what’s going wrong.

www.adriancrook.com is the site… hoping I can fix this quickly. Can’t see any obvious solution but will keep looking.

Thanks!

hey adrian, are you using custom fields or are you using the sleekslide previe image panel at the bottom of each post? allthough basically the same there are sometimes occuring problems if you are using custom fields instead of the sleekslide panel…

Never mind… I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was inserting the image URLs into the custom fields section of the post editing page, not the Sleekside Preview Images section.

That section is so small (and always minimized) that I often overlook it.

Thanks anyway!

Kentopolis or Kriesi,

Was there ever a final, working version of the automatic slider code that Kentopolis posted 4 months ago? I would kill for that feature on my site, but don’t want to implement something if it doesn’t work.

Thanks!

Oh well… thanks, Kriesi. I guess I will hold out for him to chime in on this thread. Or perhaps you could reply to one of his previous posts, which would generate a reply notification to him…

Anyway…

Thanks again for your help. Still enjoying the theme, just considering paying someone to mod it in a few ways for me.

And me again,

I’m almost done, but theres one last, yet very strange error in IE.

If you look at the Site (impuls.mediatory.de) in Firefox and then in IE, you’ll probably see pretty soon what the problem is :-).

Please tell me you can help me with this.

Thanks, Nil

Hi Kriesi, On my site I’ve disabled all comments. Now there’s an overlay on every page that says “comments off”

How can I get rid of this so it doesn’t display? www.afedele.com

remove
<?php comments_number('0', '1', '%'); ?>

and

<?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%'); ?>
from every template file that makes use of these functions.

If I buy it, can I use it on more than one client site? Or do I have to keep on buying it again and again even if I already have the file? :)

the single use licence allows to use it once, if you want to use it a second time you either need to purchase it a second time for an additional licence or you take a multi use licence (which might be to expensie if you just want to use it twice ^^)

Hi there. I’ve commented previously and e-mailed you, with no response.

There is a typo in the side bar of pages and blog posts, where Archive is displayed as “Archiv”. The spacing between each heading secton is also quite narrow.

How can I correct this? It’d be great if you could get back to me (shannon.molloy[at]gmail.com)

Cheers

Kriesi Kriesireplied

hey

you can edit the typo in sidebar.php line 50

to edit the space between the headings can be controlled in style.css: .widget h3 by adjusting margin and/or padding

Hi hi, How can I remove the Big Preview of an image that will automatically populate the top of a Portfolio post that is using the sleekslide feature? I tried changing the order of the sleekslide preview images on the post’s editing page, but that messes up the placement of the images on slider.

Thanks! Any help is appreciated!! :)

Kriesi Kriesireplied

I am not sure what you want to accomplish. delete the image from the portfolio overview? you can remove these image from your portfolio by removing line 26

echo $bigpic != "" ? "<div class='big_prev'><a href='".get_permalink()."' title=''><img src='$bigpic' alt='' /></a></div>" : "";

from template portfolio.php

Really a question for anyone who has purchased. I know Kriesi is out of town I think.

In the slider can you display the “View All Projects” button on some slides, but remove it leaving only the “Next” button on others? Or perhaps even create a different button text like “View All Articles” ?

Just need some flexibility for what I’m planning and wanted to find out before buying.

dehaystsays

Comment for any purchasers here because I thiink Kriesi is out of town.

In the admin for the slider is there a way to make the button for “View All Projects” visible for some slides and not for others? Is it possible to change its link destination and copy like say “View All Articles” for some slides?

Just let me know. Will need the flexibility for what I’m doing.

Cheers, dehayst

Hi Kriesi,

I’m looking to purchase your theme but I have a question. Are you able to change the type of transition for the slider? I’d prefer a simple slide or fade out.

Thanks much, Anna

Kriesi Kriesireplied

sorry, this is unfortunatley not possible out of the box. you would need to implement a basic crossfading javascript for this

Posted 1 month ago

Thanks for that info. I’m assuming I would change it in the header.php file. Can you point me to some workable code? There is a lot out there…

Kriesi Kriesireplied

I can only shw you the direction since doing this would at best last “a little” :) you need to first remove the javascript call from custom.js at line 210: my_smothscroll();

that will disable my slider. then you need to find a script that can handle the structure of the theme, most of the popular slideshows should be able to do that. They need to be able to fade complete divs, not just only images. the divs that needs to be exchanged are the .slider_container within #sleekslide.

Embed the new script into your head and make sure that its using jQuery or bare-bone javascript, I wouldnt recomment to use an additional library. you can call the script in custom.js or in the head of header.php

Hello Kriesi,

I have had this theme since last year. After upgrading wordpress to 2.9.1, the drop down navigation broke.

On mouse over when page loads, it works find, but if you mouse over again, it does not drop down. It must be something in the CSS or Jquery that is not compatible with the upgrade.

Any suggestions?

Kriesi Kriesireplied

you might want to check your custom.js file and look if the first function is similar to this:

function kriesi_mainmenu(){
    if(!jQuery.browser.msie){// IE  - 2nd level Fix
    jQuery(" #nav ul ").css({opacity:"0.95"});
    }
jQuery("#nav a").removeAttr('title');
jQuery(" #nav ul ").css({display: "none"}); // Opera Fix
jQuery(" #nav > li > ul").parent().find("a:first").append("<span class='sub_list'>&nbsp;</span>");
jQuery(" #nav ul li > ul").parent().find("a:first").append("<span class='sub_sub_list'>&nbsp;</span>");

jQuery(" #nav li").hover(function(){
        jQuery(this).find('ul:first').css({visibility: "visible",display: "none"}).show(400);
        },function(){
        jQuery(this).find('ul:first').css({visibility: "hidden"});
        });
}

if thats not the case you might want to update it with this code

Thanks Kriesi, that worked. Not sure what was different in the code, I couldnt find the broken syntax, hmm, but copy/paste of your code did the trick.

Another question; when i check the logs, I am periodically getting error (about 5 times in 1 year): [20-Feb-2010 18:57:52] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in public_html/wp-content/themes/sleekslide/index.php on line 1 ### The line 1 in header is <?php global $kriesi_options; ?>

Maybe the server is the problem, going when funtions arent loaded because of server issue?

Thanks for your help!

Hey Kriesi, Once again – great theme, loving it. Quick question – the images in the slider – is it possible to assign alt tags to them at all? Here’s the image code:

<img alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2494/4158075773_19275cab12_o.png">
I see there’s an alt="" but where do I specify that? Thanks in advance. Jas

sorry there is no way to add alt tags from your backend. the blank alt tags are hardcoded into the theme to make it pass html validation…

And another, is it possible to have an active link in the text (excerpt or otherwise) of the individual slider items? Thanks again. Jas

if you add the html markup for the link into the excerpt field when writing a post (this is located bellow the textarea for the full content) then it should work just fine…

Ok, a JQuery question this time – is it possible to update the theme version (1.2.6) to the latest version (without anything breaking) – and perhaps reference the Google api – like so: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js ? Thanks again. Jas

I’m on a roll, you know how you have ‘options’ – these seem to relate to which css file to load(?) is it possible to prune out the one’s not being used from header.php – for example:
<?php if($kriesi_options['whichdesign'] == 4){ ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.aotearoawebdesign.co.nz/wp-content/themes/sleekslide/css/css/style4.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<?php } else if($kriesi_options['whichdesign'] == 3){ ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.aotearoawebdesign.co.nz/wp-content/themes/sleekslide/css/css/style3.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<?php } else if($kriesi_options['whichdesign'] == 2){ ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.aotearoawebdesign.co.nz/wp-content/themes/sleekslide/css/css/style2.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<?php } else {?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.aotearoawebdesign.co.nz/wp-content/themes/sleekslide/css/css/style1.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
It appears I’m only using style1.css Jas

Hey Kriesi, This may well have been asked before – so apologies if it has. The homepage of your theme, you know how below the slider it displays the latest blog post – can you tell me how (& what files) I can change to make this area simple static content. I’ve decided I’d rather have the blog posts only accessible from the navigation menu. I’d like to tailor the content on the homepage of my site a little more, have some calls to action there – that kinda thing. Thanks again. Jas

Sorry – I’ve figured it out! Thanks :-)
