Worked it out. I’d got my positioning all in a muddle!

Hi Micah,

Thanks for that, but I picked that up quite early on. At the moment I’m working on a clean install with new images each time i make a code change (working locally with only a handful of images). The image sizes are being generated ok, it’s just the slider isn’t picking them up.

Matt

Ok so I’ve changed the way it adds the images but the image slider is still showing the full sized image, not a cropped image as I’m telling it too. The only change I’ve made is added the above code into functions.php then edited as per your suggestion. When I go into the images folder on the server all the different sizes are there and I can use the custom sizes everywhere else in my theme, but not in the slider!

Hi Micah I have just been coming back to this for another project and am still having issues with this here is my current code – neither options are working:

Am i missing something obvious here? Do i need to add anything to the shortcodes after putting this in functions.php?

if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) {
	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
	set_post_thumbnail_size( 150, 150 );
	add_image_size('slider', 1140, 400, true );
	add_image_size('custom_post_thumb_large', 708, 400, true );
	add_image_size('custom_post_thumb_small', 100, 100, true );
}
function events_promoslider_image_size( $args ) {
    if( isset( $args['id'] ) && $args['id'] == 'events-home'  ) {
        $args['image_size'] = 'custom_post_thumb_large'; } }
add_filter( 'promoslider_image_size_by_id', 'events_promoslider_image_size' );

Thanks again for looking into this for me however it still isn’t making a difference to my slider. Just wondering whether it might be possible to actually add an image size option for shortcode use (a future feature perhaps?). Though if you have this working, maybe i have a conflict somewhere?

My apologies i’m just not quite there and still learning php and wordpress interactions etc.

Hi i think this post by Yoast should help you. I am just working through it at the moment.

@micah

Thanks for this update. I no longer get any errors but the image size doesn’t appear to change. The only other edit i have done is to some CSS:

.textwidget .promo_slider_wrapper {
margin: 0 0 0 0;
}

#testimony .promo_slider_excerpt {
top: 0;
left: 30%;
width: 65%;
}

My shortcode is:

[promoslider id="testimony" width="100%" height="200px" category="testimony" display_title="none" display_nav="none" pause_on_hover="pause" display_excerpt="excerpt"]

and i changed ‘slider2’ in your code to ‘testimony’

Matt

Having tried it in both files I am getting a parse error as follows with the above cods

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘(‘, expecting T_STRING in C:\xampp\htdocs\wptest\wp-content\plugins\promotion-slider\index.php on line 431

or

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_AND, expecting ‘,’ or ‘)’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\wptest\wp-content\themes\kingschurchkeswick\functions.php on line 170

apologies if i’m missing something obvious…

Thanks micah. Where would this code go. Would it need added to the slider code or to functions.php.

Thanks very much, I had a couple of extra spaces in the end, but all looking good now!

Matt

Hi thanks for that tip, but it hasn’t made tha slightest difference. I have posted the index.php file below (above was the header.php). perhaps there’s something there?

Thanks again

Matt

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content”>
<? php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class=”post”>

<div class=”postheader”>
<!– Display the Title as a link to the Post’s permalink. –>
<h3>
“
rel=”bookmark”
title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”>
<?php the_title(); ?>

</h3>

<!– Display the date (16th November, 2010 format) and a link to other posts by this posts author. –>
<small>
<?php the_time(‘jS F, Y’) ?>
by
<?php the_author_posts_link() ?>
under the category: <?php the_category(‘| ‘); ?>
</small>

</div>

<!– Display the Post’s Content in a div box. –>
<div class=”entry”>
<?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
</div>

<!– Display a comma separated list of the Post’s Categories. –>

<? php endif; ?>

<?php get_sidebar (); ?>

<?php include(“socialbar.php”); ?>

<?php get_footer (); ?>

Hi there,

Just trying to figure out how to adjust this code to display pages. have changed it to the following, and I can get it to display archive dates in columns, but there are no links. have tried changing various buts in the “<td class= …” section but to no avail, I’m only getting various php errors.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks

I Managed to resolve this using php include in the end (even though it hadnt worked earlier)

Ok so i’ve had a bit more of a look around and i think i have made my references more exact.
I am calling the sidebar as such
<?php get_sidebar('sidebar-main'); ?>
the functions.php file is as so:

<?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Classic_Theme
 */
 if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'')); ?>
<?php if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar-main')); ?>
<?php if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar-events')); ?>
<?php if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar-mission')); ?>
<?php if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar-services')); ?>
<?php if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar-resources')); ?>

And I can edit the sidebars in admin ok, but only the first sidebar shows on the pages.

Please can someone help?

Ahh I just figured out what you are meaning. so my sidebar code now looks like this, though i still can’t quite figure out how you tell which sidebar to appear on which page from this?

<!-- begin sidebar -->

<div id="sidebar">
