[Plugin: Frontpage-Slideshow] Using the posts Excerpt instead of title

I just can’t understand you… where do you dont want to see the title ? on buttons ? if yes : just edit the plugin file, look for
<div id="fs-entry-title-'.$id.'" class="fs-title">
and replace it with
<div id="fs-entry-title-'.$id.'" class="fs-title fs-skip">
That should do the job.
And no : I do no plan to add this option on admin page.

Sorry Jeff, I explained it really badly.

At the moment on my test site I have the plugin working fine. It’s the best I’ve seen so far, so thanks!

Anyway, I have the buttons on the left of plugin which display the title. But then there is the main text area which also shows the post title. Is it possible for the main text area to display a posts excerpt instead of the title?

Hope that makes sense and thanks again!

I’ve just noticed in the options it’s called the “Comment Zone” that I would like the excerpt to appear in

oh… I see now !
If you dont want the title to be shown, find
<div id="fs-title">&nbsp;</div>
on plugin php file then make it like this :
<div id="fs-title" class="fs-skip">&nbsp;</div>

Then If you want to see the excerpt, by now, there is no automated way to do this, just copy-paste the excerpt… may be on one of next releases

Help,

Trying to place short code in header.php. The code shoes the
player doesn’t show.
[FrontpageSlideshow fs_show_buttons=0 fs_transition_on=slideleft fs_show_comment=0 fs_template=default]
Thanks

That would be great if it was in one of the next releases Jeff.

I’ve been looking through the code to try and figure out how to do this. I’ve found <div id=”fs-excerpt”> </div> but I’m guessing the actual code to display the excerpt hasn’t been done as of yet?

@temp2000 : do you really thing that your post is in relation with Gamedot problem ? no, absolutely not. So Create thread for your problem and, maybe, you could have an answer.

@gamedot oh its just simple, an option in admin page like the default link option that use the excerpt as the comment…
This will arrive on next release. It was not onto the roadmap but now it can be done.

That’s great to hear. Thanks Jeff

Jeff,

I would also love top have an option for “Post Excerpt” to appear in the “Comment Zone.”
Thanks in advance!

its planned

Hi Jeff,

I’ve noticed the Excerpt option in now. However when I have selected the When No Link is Selected option to use the excerpt and save, nothing appears under the title. Is it just a case this isn’t finished yet?

you got to choose “If no comment is specified, use the post excerpt” (not the link !) and that functionality may be buggy…

its ok with version 0.9.9.3.2. wait for this version to be available to upgrade

sorry there where stil a bug in 0.9.9.3.2 : it is corrected in 0.9.9.3.3 ??

Thanks, that seems to be working now!
