The entire post for each article is showing, even though the &lt;!--more--&gt; tag is placed in each article. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-featured-content-slider#post-19478 Thu, 19 May 2011 20:07:52 +0000 biospa 19478@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>A couple of questions...</p> <p>I can see how this would work to put a content slider at the top of the general blog, however how would I construct this so a different slider could be put at the top of each different CATEGORY. I don't see a way to assign a custom template to each category...</p> <p>For example if I have a category (LIFESTYLE), then when someone clicks on that category then I have a custom slider showing 3 or 4 featured lifestyle posts, followed by the blog with all posts that have a lifestyle category.</p> <p>Then when someone clicks on another category, say (BEAUTY), then there is a different slider with a few chosen beauty posts followed by all the blog posts tagged with the beauty category.</p> <p>Also, the text code worked great for sliders with small image and text on the side, however it made no change with full size images that contain slide title and text...</p> <p>Thanks for the great support!</p> <p>:) Brian </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-featured-content-slider#post-19466 Thu, 19 May 2011 14:23:05 +0000 James Morrison 19466@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,</p> <p>You can use the Template Builder to create a custom page template to display your Slideshow followed by your Blog. You would need to then create a page and assign the newly created template. You could then, using the Menu Manager create a navigation menu using these pages instead of traditional catgegory archive pages.</p> <p>So step by step:</p> <p>1.) Using the Template Builder (under the upScale menu), create a new page template similar to this: <a href="http://www.cl.ly/3L1N2l0V3M3i200B2X3k" rel="nofollow">http://www.cl.ly/3L1N2l0V3M3i200B2X3k</a><br /> 2.) Select your categories to display under the Blog options drop down.<br /> 3.) Create a new page and select the template you just created in the right column.<br /> 4.) Publish!<br /> 5.) Add the new page to your navigation menu wherever you'd like it to appear.</p> <p>For the text size, you can change it by adjusting the CSS to suit your needs. The headings text size are controlled by this code:</p> <pre><code>.slideshow_container_featured .slideshow_welcome_title { font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; }</code></pre> <p>and the main text area size is controlled by this code:</p> <pre><code>.slideshow_container_featured .slideshow_welcome_text { font-size: 12px; text-align: justify; }</code></pre> <p>Add this code to <strong>/css/custom.css</strong>:</p> <pre><code>.slideshow_container_featured .slideshow_welcome_title { font-size: 20px; } .slideshow_container_featured .slideshow_welcome_text { font-size: 12px; }</code></pre> <p>then adjust the text size as required.</p> <p>Hope this helps!</p> <p>James </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-featured-content-slider#post-19419 Wed, 18 May 2011 20:12:16 +0000 biospa 19419@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Can you recommend a way to add a Featured Content Slider at the top of Category pages? The idea is to have 3 or 4 featured blog posts that are always featured at the top of the page when readers click on a given category, along with thumbnails. New posts would then appear below this slider.</p> <p>Also, a way to adjust the text size of the current slider text or slide title?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
