There’s a little correction to be made here , i think the forum paste is auto modifying some tags. I’ll make a paste code else where to view it correctly.

http://pastebin.com/3W2QdvAv

Just a note that the above code is for modifying the query to look for pages instead of posts for the featured slides. The files are in the includes/featured. Each file has a query line which can be replaced with the above comment.

The array 2,36,48,51 are sample page IDs which can be replaced with real IDs from your wordpress Pages.

Thanks alexaisa

Great

Hi,

In Echoes timthumb created thumbnails aren’t stretched or distorted. They are zoom cropped if the image exceeds for the given height or width. If the generated thumbnail has the same dimension ratios then cropping is not made.

Most of the timthumb calls go through a function in the functions/custom-functions.php called resizeimage

That function is called with the image url and required dimensions for the image. You can modify this function to render an image without using timthumb by omitting the call for it and changing it to your requirements.

Others are portfolio shortcodes which are called within the portfolio templates. The file portfolio-functions.php in functions folder has timthumb call which can be removed too. The featured images don’t use resizing.

Hope this was of help.

Thanks

Hi,

The menu system and background image features will be implemented for wp 3.0 upgrade. If you leave a mail via my profile i can send some pre-update patches that’ll activate them.

Thanks

Wordpress excerpt text pull is ignoring the shortcode text. Most of the time shortcodes are functions and not a letter as in this case. So WP assumes the same for the excerpt pull, ignores images, html and gets only text. A workaround is to manually adding the dropcaps class to the letter for except displays.

<span class="dropcaps">T</span>

T representing a letter

Thanks

Yep, that worked like a charm as did the customfunctions.php amended code (which should help a lot of other folks as well I imagine). If you can iron out the portfolio and YouTube issues I think I’m set!

Could you send me the two links to them. I might need login info to check these two out. Best if you send me a mail via my profile with the info. I’ll check them and reply.

Thanks

Hi,

1 and 2. Do send me a mail with the urls links to them. I’ll check.

3. Edit custom-functions.php

Replace line 11 with

$output = substr(substr(get_the_excerpt(), 0, $textlen), 0, strrpos(substr(get_the_excerpt(), 0, $textlen), ' '));

Thanks

3 worked like a charm and should solve lots of folks’ issues on that front. The URL for the other two is test.kilroycreative.com.

Edit home.php

Lines 108,130 and 151

Each has a value of 79 for the shortdesc function. You can change the values which represents number of characters.

Thanks,

and how would I remove the Section C on homepage? 4 The feature pages/images…

That’s home.php

Lines 163 to 255

Hi,

If you can provide login info to your wordpress i can create some samples and check on where its going wrong. All the featured slider requires is a category of posts with image urls in the custom field. If there are problems – it could be a conflict with another plugin too. Send me a mail via my profile. I’ll check on the problem and reply.

Thanks

Hi,

1) Edit slider.css in CSS folder. Change height value of .container class

This will effect the slider scroll featured block.

Thanks

I changed the height of .container class in each of the three files (slider.css, slider.fullwidth.page.css and slider.page.css) and tested out numbers from 1px to 1000px and none of it seemed to work.

Any other ideas? Do you know why it’s only happening in Firefox?

Hi,

Sorry, when you meant slider i thought scroll slider.

For the accordion featured edit kwicks.css in the CSS folder

Modify lines 14 and 38 ; those are heights for kwicks slides and shadows. Decrease the height to shorten. Important is both classes should have the same heights.

I see your phone number in firefox without problems.

Could you send a mail via my profile. I’d like to request a screenshot for that.

Thanks

Hi,

Could you let me know which featured slide height you want changed. I can give accurate information this way.

Thanks

I would like the height of the slider to be 300px

Hi nedics,

1. You can populate and set the featured slides by populating a category with posts for each slide, and then choosing that category as your featured category from theme options.

2. Please check Echoes WP theme FAQ

Thanks

Dear imaginem!

I find the “slide show” place. Thank You.

I dont understand how can I genereting character. I have’not done before.

Must I write to css and php code in header?

Regards: Steve

Hi Steve,

It’s a simple process to generate a cufon font which has all the characters you need.

Right now it uses Museo font but has those characters excluded to minimize file size. Have you followed the FAQ instructions in the question about recreating a js font? If you didn’t succeed in making it then send me a mail via my profile. Do include a note about the problem. I’ll try creating the font set for you and mailing back.

Thanks

Hi,

Increasing the slides can be done in a simple edit

Edit featured/home-kwicks.php line 17 you’ll find the numeral 4. Increase to 6

For this to function properly you’ll need additions to the js/kwicks/kwicks-custom.js

Best if you mail me. I’ll send a kwicks file with support for the additional 6 slides. (Do include a note on it)

Thanks

Hi,

Portfolio items in categories is already implemented in the theme. If you check the demo its listing the portfolios in categories. It can also display them in multiple styles and have any number of portfolio parent categories.

Thanks

Ok, I guess I got confused because I didn’t see sub categories when looking at the portfolio, all I saw were different styles. I’m use to seeing portfolio sub categories listed horizontally. Is there a way to do this with this theme?

For example I would like to have my portfolio broke down into sub categories such as (logos, image editing, print design, etc). I want the viewer to be able to see these categories listed in the horizontal bar so they can see their options. Relying on the viewer to see the drop down arrow for the sub pages is a little too wishful in my opinion. Thanks. Sorry for any confusion.

Yes, that can be done with the same function used in the menu and with some additional CSS styles.

The function.

wp_list_pages

and list all pages under a particular parent. Its not implemented in the theme , but i’ll note it as a request.

Thanks

Hi,

There are three php files in the includes/featured folder for the three featured blocks

If you edit each one you’ll notice a line with get_the_excerpt followed with numerical value 162. Change it to your likings. This is the number of characters for the featured captions.

Thanks

Could you send me a mail via my profile. I’ll send some instructions for you.

Thanks

Hi,

Have you followed the Help Guide? Could you try populating the theme by following it. I’ll help.

Thanks

Hi,

I think that should be a jquery conflict. Try disabling the plugins and activating them one by one to see what’s causing it.

Thanks
