First, I would like to edit one featured area so that the_content is displayed instead of the_excerpt. The code for this is in functions.php and I am unsure how to modify it in a child-theme-friendly way (without defining a new function)

Second, I would like to increase the excerpt length on other featured areas. This theme contains a file (modules/admin_modules/excerpt_length.php) which one would think would apply here…but editing this and saving in the child theme directory has no impact.

Any guidance is appreciated.

Using a plugin has an unwanted effect on the other parts of the theme.

You can count this as a feature suggestion but it would be great if there is a way for us to do this on the current version of the theme.

Cheers!

HTML:

<div id='slide-holder'>
     <img id='sliderjoint' src="<?php echo esc_url(get_theme_mod('selectimage2'));?>"
</div>

Javascript:

function slide(){
		var pic = document.getElementById('sliderjoint');
		pic.src = "<?php echo esc_url(get_theme_mod('selectimage2'));?>"
		console.log(pic.src);
	}

	var el = document.getElementById('slide-holder');
	el.addEventListener('click', slide);

Should I be using AJAX? I don’t really see how that would help me but I just need someone to point me in the right direction.

I know how to use the customizer to select an image and store it as a URL in a theme mod option, but what I’d like to do is create a control that will do the same thing for *only* videos, and allow them to select multiple videos and return an array I can loop through to output them into the slider code in PHP.

I’m guessing I’ll be using the WP_Customize_Media_Control class and wp_get_attachment_url(), but I don’t know where to start with either setting it for just videos (if possible) or using it to select multiples.

If I can’t cleanly use the Customizer (e.g. handling deleted images), I might have to simply query uploaded media using a specified tag, which I’d like to avoid.

Thanks in advance.

sorry bother you but really I don’t know which way to turn.

I have already openend a post on theme forum but maybe it is more correct to post it here.

Do you know what “Theme Mods Twentyeleven serialized” means and how I can remove it?

Cheers?

I have noticed one very strange thing however!
if I open the bugging page in firefox and view the source – ctrl+a and paste all code in notepad++ there shows up a question mark before the doctype tag that neither shows up in the source view or if I would paste the code into windows notepad.

this whitespace error (and hidden question mark) does only appear on the startpage. On the other page “test” all works fine.

Here’s a link to the page.

Sorry there is a quite heavy background at the moment.

I would very much appreciate some help with this!

Cheers,
Marcus.

Thanks!
