You need to delete the "display" option field in your sql database and everything should work again. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/frontpage-slider-problems#post-34402 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 08:36:08 +0000 webdesignessex 34402@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks for that info - I will try that.</p> <p>Do you have any ideas on why the Slide Manager isn't working for me? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/frontpage-slider-problems#post-34280 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:44:48 +0000 Dude 34280@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> you need to modify config.xml manually if you'd like to add links. Open up slideshow/config.xml and use following code for a slide + link/description (some more sample entries can be found in config.xml):<br /> <pre><code>&lt;slide&gt; &lt;url&gt;wp-content/themes/display/files/bigpicture2.jpg&lt;/url&gt; &lt;description&gt; &lt;link target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.progressivered.com&lt;/link&gt; &lt;heading&gt;Put your heading here!&lt;/heading&gt; &lt;paragraph&gt; Paragraph text - put your text here and describe your beautiful slide. Paragraph text - put your text here and describe your beautiful slide. Paragraph text - put your text here and describe your beautiful slide. &lt;/paragraph&gt; &lt;/description&gt; &lt;/slide&gt;</code></pre> <p>or for slides with links only:</p> <pre><code>&lt;slide&gt; &lt;url&gt;wp-content/themes/display/files/bigpicture2.jpg&lt;/url&gt; &lt;link target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.progressivered.com&lt;/link&gt; &lt;/slide&gt;</code></pre> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/frontpage-slider-problems#post-34277 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:26:29 +0000 webdesignessex 34277@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I'm getting this error:</p> <p>The database tables that are necessary to make "Mainpage Slider" work could not be installed</p> <p>Possible Solutions:<br /> Please deactivate all your plugins and refresh this page<br /> Make sure that you are using a wordpress account with all privileges.</p> <p>Can you suggest a workaround. I've tried deactivating all plugins. Do I need to be installing any plugins to make this work?</p> <p>I've tried reverting to the Flash slider which isn't ideal because I can't work out how to add a hyperlink to the each of the slides - what is the code to make this work and have the link open in the same window?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Andrew </p>
