You can remove this sidebar if you'd like so the blog can be wider. Or you can just make the sidebar less wide. To adjust these widths you can open your style.css file and change the width value of the following lines:</p> <p><code>#content, .entry-no-pic .entry-content</code></p> <p><code>#top .fullwidth_sidebar</code></p> <p><code>.news-right</code></p> <p>the last one is the width of your actual pos, but you need to change the other two in order to keep your values homologous.<br /> Keep in mind this might alter other pages too that use the same page template. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/newscast-how-to-increase-the-width-of-the-blog-page#post-26103 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 17:11:50 +0000 skane 26103@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>The blog page defaults to about 540px width here: <a href="http://sandbox.integrativemgi.com/2011/08/29/newsletter-july-2011/#airport-screening" rel="nofollow">http://sandbox.integrativemgi.com/2011/08/29/newsletter-july-2011/#airport-screening</a></p> <p>How do I change the width to either a full screen, or something in the 750px range? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/linking-homepage-slider-to-a-post-or-page-other-than-itself#post-21540 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 13:49:20 +0000 Dude 21540@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Glad that it worked for you :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/linking-homepage-slider-to-a-post-or-page-other-than-itself#post-21525 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 22:00:50 +0000 skane 21525@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Sorry, posted wrong code above. My solution was as follows:</p> <p>1. created a custom field called <em>link_to</em><br /> 2. changed line 43 in index.php from <strong>the_permalink()</strong> to <strong>echo get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, 'link_to', true)</strong> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/linking-homepage-slider-to-a-post-or-page-other-than-itself#post-21524 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 20:01:08 +0000 skane 21524@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Worked great, thanks.</p> <p>In my case, I created a custom field called link_to and then changed line 43 in index.php from <strong><em>the_permalink()</em></strong> to <strong><em>the_permalink($post-&gt;ID, 'link_to', true)</em></strong> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/linking-homepage-slider-to-a-post-or-page-other-than-itself#post-21519 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 17:06:23 +0000 skane 21519@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks. I'll try that. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/linking-homepage-slider-to-a-post-or-page-other-than-itself#post-21501 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 06:17:37 +0000 Dude 21501@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> You could use custom fields and the get post meta function: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta</a> to enter a custom link per post. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/linking-homepage-slider-to-a-post-or-page-other-than-itself#post-21451 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:19:35 +0000 skane 21451@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Having the ability to link homepage slider posts (or pages) to posts or pages other than themselves would greatly improve the usability of the sliders. It would enable custom titles and blurbs for each featured item, instead of being limited to the featured post title and excerpted content as they are now.</p> <p>In attempting to model a solution, I replaced line 43 of index.php with an absolute link. </p> <p>In other words, replacing <strong>href=/"&lt; ?php the_permalink(); ? </strong> with <strong>mysite.com/otherpost/</strong>.</p> <p>It worked as far as linking slider posts to a different post (or page), but of course now <em>all</em> posts point to a single link.</p> <p>To make this solution workable, Is it possible to replace<strong><em>the_permalink</em></strong> with the name of the field on the post edit screen <em>Full Size Pic or Video for Lightbox (Image and Video Links allowed )</em>? This would enable the link to be easily maintainable for each slider post within the post edit function. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/extra-widgets-area-content-is-displaying-on-home-page-despite-exclusion#post-21110 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 01:32:33 +0000 skane 21110@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>FYI - The site is now live and the link in my first post above has changed to <a href="http://integrativemgi.com/" rel="nofollow">http://integrativemgi.com/</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/extra-widgets-area-content-is-displaying-on-home-page-despite-exclusion#post-21104 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 21:26:01 +0000 skane 21104@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey, I had to inactivate the Tag Cloud widget for our blog in order to go live, so the link above no longer shows the problem. If you need me to recreate the issue, before you can troubleshoot let me know and I will set up a testing environment. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/extra-widgets-area-content-is-displaying-on-home-page-despite-exclusion#post-21091 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 16:50:43 +0000 skane 21091@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I created an Extra Widget Area (called "Category:News left") to be exclusively used by our blog page. The blog page has a category = NEWS. </p> <p>I added the Tag Cloud and Newscast Advertising widgets to this Extra Widget Area.</p> <p>Category "News" is excluded from the home page, as are all other categories except one called FEATURED.</p> <p>Both the Tag Cloud and Advertising widgets are displaying on the Home Page here: at <a href="http://66.147.244.248/~integry3/" rel="nofollow">http://66.147.244.248/~integry3/</a></p> <p>Am I missing a set up step? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/minimum-page-height#post-20931 Sun, 12 Jun 2011 20:15:34 +0000 Dude 20931@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Great :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/minimum-page-height#post-20927 Sun, 12 Jun 2011 18:13:21 +0000 skane 20927@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks, that did it. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/minimum-page-height#post-20877 Sat, 11 Jun 2011 17:48:30 +0000 Dude 20877@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> add following code to style.css and adjust the height value:<br /> <pre><code>#main { min-height: 500px; }</code></pre> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/minimum-page-height#post-20850 Sat, 11 Jun 2011 01:07:53 +0000 skane 20850@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Is it possible to set a minimum page height?</p> <p>The drop down menus are pretty long and for pages with just a little content, the drop down is truncated. For example, hover the Services menu pick on this page: <a href="http://66.147.244.248/~integry3/contact-2/" rel="nofollow">http://66.147.244.248/~integry3/contact-2/</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-toggle#post-20843 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 21:11:24 +0000 skane 20843@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Dude - I meant to thank you for the JShortcodes tip. It's a fine plugin for buttons, boxes, and other stuff. And yes, having the shortcodes in an external plugin makes great sense. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-change-the-menu-item-widths#post-20842 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 21:06:31 +0000 skane 20842@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>FYI, here's how I widened the drop down menu items:<br /> -add a width to the following style, <strong>#top .catnav li .sub-menu a</strong> </p> <p>You'll find it in whatever extra style sheet you've chosen: style1.css to style4.css, at about line 94.</p> <p>I widened mine to 225px to avoid text wrap on this site: <a href="http://66.147.244.248/~integry3/" rel="nofollow">http://66.147.244.248/~integry3/</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-toggle#post-19970 Fri, 27 May 2011 05:37:36 +0000 Dude 19970@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hardcoded shortcodes have the disadvantage that you need to rewrite or restructure major parts of your content if you decide to switch the theme one day. Plugins like JShortcodes can help you to preserve your content and shortcodes.... </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-toggle#post-19916 Thu, 26 May 2011 15:09:11 +0000 skane 19916@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Newscast is a fine theme. The fact that you have a searchable forum and active support is another big plus. The one thing that seemed to be lacking are shortcodes. However, hardcoding shortcodes into themes probably isn't the best approach anyway. By adding JShortcodes plugin to Newscast, the shortcode issue was solved for me. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-child-theme-skin-files#post-19864 Wed, 25 May 2011 17:53:57 +0000 skane 19864@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Not at all. So many people here are helping each other, it just seems like the thing to do.</p> <p>I consider my suggestion above a hack, since I haven't seen it described in Codex. It's working well for me with the Newscast theme. </p> <p>However, in an ideal world, I think the Child style.css file should be able to handle everything using <em>@import url(style1.css);</em> placed after the @import url(style.css). For example, it seems logical in a cascading world where the Child style.css should control everything that it would: 1. import and execute style.css, then 2. any mods to style.css, and then 3. import and execute style1.css, and then 4. any mods placed after that. However, the original header.php is executing style1.css (again?*) AFTER it processes the Child. *once during @import in the child and again because of the header &lt;link&gt; stmt.</p> <p>Maybe the Wordpress developers have something to say about this? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-child-theme-skin-files#post-19798 Wed, 25 May 2011 05:14:15 +0000 Dude 19798@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks for the hint skane :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-child-theme-skin-files#post-19794 Wed, 25 May 2011 04:09:55 +0000 skane 19794@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Exactly how to make mods to Child Theme Skin files hasn't been exactly clear in codex and elsewhere. Hopefully this will help:</p> <p>1. Copy header.php to the Child folder<br /> 2. Create a css file to hold your skin mods. e.g. For style1.css call it something like style1M.css<br /> 3. Insert the style1M.css &lt;link&gt; statement in the header, immediately after the style1.css &lt;link&gt; statement (around line 36)</p> <p>That should do it. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-child-theme-skin-files#post-14255 Wed, 09 Mar 2011 06:20:53 +0000 Dude 14255@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> as far as I know you don't need to use exactly the same structure but you must set a reference (@include, etc. in your child theme stylesheet). Have a look at this page: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#Example_of_a_basic_Child_Theme" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#Example_of_a_basic_Child_Theme</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-child-theme-skin-files#post-14203 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 17:39:54 +0000 lstipp 14203@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi there,<br /> I am successfully using child theming to make my modifications to the Display theme. However, if I want to have my own copy of style2.css, so my changes don't change the original, I have two questions:</p> <p>1. does my child style2.css file have to be in a similar directory structure inside my child theme folder, or can it just be in the same child theme directory as my version of style.css?</p> <p>2. Does my style2.css need to IMPORT the original style2.css?</p> <p>Hope I'm making sense. Let me know if you need clarification.<br /> Thanks!<br /> Lori </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-toggle#post-9606 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 08:50:57 +0000 Dude 9606@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> the toggle shortcode is part of Avisio, Habitat and CleanCut. Newscast doesn't provide any theme specific shortcodes. It's currently not possible to transfer the shortcodes from one theme to another without some coding knowledge. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-toggle#post-9603 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 08:24:40 +0000 ktaylor 9603@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,<br /> I have purchased a few of your themes and noticed that some have toggle shortcode available. Does this theme have it? I really need it for this theme. OR can you recommend what files I could use to put it in this theme?<br /> Thanks<br /> Karen </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-change-the-menu-item-widths#post-2226 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 18:17:08 +0000 hmuscroft 2226@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Many thanks! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-change-the-menu-item-widths#post-2180 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 11:26:40 +0000 James Morrison 2180@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey! </p> <p> @hmuscroft: @cwrigley's answer is correct.</p> <p>@cwrigley: Thanks for helping out! :) </p> <p> Best regards,<br /> James </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-change-the-menu-item-widths#post-2116 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 15:48:10 +0000 cwrigley 2116@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>In Style.css</p> <p>about Line 199</p> <p>Change Width Parm here:</p> <p>#top .nav a {<br /> display:block;<br /> float:left;<br /> line-height:18px;<br /> min-height:35px;<br /> outline-color:-moz-use-text-color;<br /> outline-style:none;<br /> outline-width:medium;<br /> padding:2px 10px;<br /> text-decoration:none;<br /> width:95px; </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-change-the-menu-item-widths#post-2102 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 15:11:51 +0000 efusjon 2102@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I cannot answer your question but what you have done with the theme is amazing to me. It is probably simple how you setup the part describing the designer, mind sharing how you did that. My main use of the theme will be a blog and that would be a great way to lead<br /> people to the blog part of the site.</p> <p>Great looking and really cool looking clothes and shoes as well. Too bad she does not design things for men as well.</p> <p>thanks </p>
