2 Slider questions: width of slider and Feature Header height same as slider?
  • I would like to keep the Slider and Feature Header height the same size vertically: 350px

    And is there a way to make the slider less than 960 px wide and centered?

    Thank you,
    Steve

    In respect of your slider width, we have a thread on the topic:

    http://kaptinlin.com/support/discussion/4364/another-nivo-slider-width-thread/p1

    and you would have to be prepared to dig into the code somewhat. As Lin indicated in that thread, and I in prior iterations of it we have tried to provide some help, but we have time limitations, and it falls beyond the realm of "simple" forum assistance -which is all we really have time for at this time. Hopefully that thread will get you started on the right track - looking it over very quickly I think it contains everything you need to make the amendments.

    The slider should be defaulting to being centered automatically.

  • Hi Steve.

    You can use the feature custom text area todo such.

    f.e. when you insert something like this into the feature custom text area


    [one_half] [slideshow type="anything" source="{s:flower}" width="300"] [/one_half]
    [one_half_last] Hallo[/one_half_last]


    It will display a small slider on the left in the featured header showing the images from the flower category..... and some text right of the slider.


    you should replace the source= code with your own


    *********************************


    <div style="margin-left:330px;"> [slideshow type="anything" source="{s:flower}" width="300"] </div>


    will insert a small slider into the featured header centered.



    you should replace the source= code with your own


    btw this has been (tested) done with striking 5.1.8.

    since the featured area is 960 px and the slider takes 300..... 660 is left. Divided by 2 gets the left margin of 330px to center the whole thing.
