Events category

Hi!

Can you specify where exactly is the slider on the page? I don’t see it anywhere, just the main slider which is not Nemus Slider. Maybe you can create a new page with only the slider on it so i can see it in live.

Also, a screenshot would be nice to see how things are setup in the slider settings.

Thanks

This is a very promising slider. Thank you for sharing it.

I am new to WordPress and php, so please bear with me if these questions seem silly. Do you think it is possible to use a php code to link a certain slider in a template? Is it possible to give a custom css style to the .slide and the .caption class by creating a css file within this plug-in folder? I look forward to your response.

Hi!

You can use the <?php nemus_slider(12); ?> function to display the slider inside a theme code. Only one parameter which is the slider id. If you don’t specify an ID, it will display the most recent slider you created.

You can overwrite the CSS in your themes styles.css file, or alternatively create a nemus-slider.css file in your theme folder which will be loaded automatically if its available.

Hello, thank you fro immediate reply. So I guess I’ll just put down <?php nemus_slider(12); id=”id_number”?> where I want in the template and that’s it? That will be wonderful.

Yep, thats it. The php code is the same as the shortcode, which looks like this:

[nemus_slider id=”4″]

The same with php is

<?php nemus_slider(4); ?>

Great! Thanks. I hope I can return in a few days to tell you I have been successful in using your wonderful plugin.

This may work, it’s the preview link: https://woodriverlibrary.org/wp-content/plugins/nemus-slider/nemus-slider-preview.php?id=3093

And here I inserted it below an events list: https://woodriverlibrary.org/open-minds-book-club/

Hi!

Yes, its a CSS issue, your theme’s overwrite a couple of styles in the slider. Please use the following css code somewhere in your theme options or css files to fix the issue:

.nemus-slider li {padding:0 !important;background:none !important;}
.nemus-slider li:before {display:none !important;}
.nemus-slider h1 {color:#fff !important;}

Wow, that did it. So it is visible now. Thank you so much! Now my only problem is when I am editing a Slider and I change my Post Type to anything other than Posts, it still only shows Post Categories.

Here’s a link to what I’m talking about…those are categories of Posts. Is this plugin intended to do other categories?

Yes, the category selector is only for the default Posts, not for custom post types.

However, you can modify the query easily to suit your needs, use this in your functions.php file:

add_filter('nemus-slider-auto-slide-query','nemus_slider_event_categories',10,2);
function nemus_slider_event_categories($args, $id) {
    //Only if its your slider
    if($id=='3093')
        $args['event_categories'] = 'categoryslug';
    }
    return $args;
}

I’m not sure which plugin are you using for the events, so you need to look up the taxonomy name for your event categories and change ‘event_categories’ to the correct one. Where you manage your event categories, you can see it in the url in your browser(…edit-tags.php?taxonomy= event_categories for example).

Well, it was th_event_cat and I put it in there but still couldn’t get it to work. This is all way above my level of understanding but thank you for all of your help and hard work.

Its not that hard, make sure you create a new automated slide with the Events post type selected, leave the other fields default, then add the code above to your functions.php file, change ‘event_categories’ to ‘th_event_cat’ and the ‘categoryslug’ to your category name, for example ‘open-minds-book-club’

I stuck this at the bottom, just before the closing php statement thing.

add_filter('nemus-slider-auto-slide-query','nemus_slider_event_categories',10,2);
function nemus_slider_event_categories($args, $id) {
    //Only if its your slider
    if($id=='3093')
        $args['th_events_cat'] = 'open-minds-book-club';
    }
    return $args;
}

It still had no effect!

And it actually is “events”, not “event” as I previously had said.
