Willkommen im Support Forum. Bitte nutzt das Forum für alle Fragen, Probleme und Fehlermeldungen rund um meine Themes. Ihr müsst dazu nicht registriert sein. Ihr könnt hier in Deutsch oder auch Englisch posten.

Welcome to the support forums. Please use this forums for any type of questions, bug-reports or any other related stuff concerning my themes. You don´t have to be registered to post in this forum.


Bevor Ihr im Forum postet, schaut nach, ob eure Frage nich schon einmal beantwortet wurde. Es werden keine Fragen zu grundlegenden WordPress Funktionalitäten beantwortet. Dafür gibt es die allgemeinen WordPress Foren und den unschlagbaren WordPress Codex. Außerdem empfehle ich zuerst die Tutorials zu lesen, da dort die meisten Fragen beantwortet werden. Für absolute Anfänger, die bisher wenig mit WordPress gearbeitet haben, empfiehlt es sich, ein paar Euro in das e-Book “Sites that Soar” von Aisling d´Art zu investieren. Das Buch erklärt den Aufbau einer Website anhand von BranfordMagazine Schritt für Schritt. Es ist zwar nur in englisch verfügbar, aber doch sehr einfach und verständlich.

Please make sure your question hasn´t been postet before. I will not answer questions on basic WordPress functionalities because there are general WordPress forums and the amazing WordPress Codex which do this job better. Check out the tutorials. Most of the questions will be answered here. For unexperienced WordPress useres I reccomend to purchase the e-book “Sites that Soar” by Aisling d´Art. This book shows a step-by-step how-to build up a website using WordPress and BranfordMagazinne.

This e-book is highly recommended for new WordPress users
who want to use BranfordMagazine:

Hey,


ich mach mal kurz auf deutsch: Ich würd dir sofort helfen, bin aber leider noch die ganze Woche in Tschechien beruflich unterwegs und komme immer erst so gegen 9 bis 10 kurz mit meinem Laptop im Hotel online. Leider habe ich meine ganzen Dateien zu WP aber auf meinem Heim-Rechner.


Ich habe aber glaub ich in den Kommentaren zu meinem 1.6er Tut gestern gelesen, dass es jemand einfach so auf 1.7 angewandt hat und es funktioniert hat. Siehe: I tried following your instructions as per ver 1.6, but the code needed
to go into a different area in the mod_fpslideshow.php. Not a major
problem, and after a few tweaks, I have it working.


Vom Prinzip her muss einfach mein Code dahin, wo die FPSS die einzelnen Slides einbindet. Schau mal, ob du es schaffst, sonst schick mir doch bitte gezippt die 1.7er zu, dann gucke ich es mir morgen abend an.

Tobi,


now I need to ask for support in my own forum ;-) I just purchased FPSS 1.7 today and would like to use the dynamic way you described on your site for version 1.6.


Will you do me a favour and provide a tut for the 1.7 version asap (I know I´m very demanding ;-) )


Thanx in advance

M.

One major customization I did was that I changed the FPSS.php so that I dont have to fill in the posts I want in my slideshow manually but they are pulled from the_loop automatically if they are in a certain category. And I use the_excerpt and the_title and the custom field (leadimage) so that all is put automatically to the slideshow. Was all pretty easy even without programming knowledge (which I dont have ;-))


I'm new to Wordpress (just installed it today for the first time) so would really appreciate a step by step guide on how you implemented this.

??? I didnt delete the index.php. I dont quite get your question? What is it exactly you wanna know? On my website I use the same index.php like in the original template except for some customizing work such as a different background color, slideshow instead of ui-tabs, different categories as featured articles and I put a second sidebad beneath the middle-column. I think that's it…

I thought the Frontpage Slideshow would be a bit more fancy than the ui-tabs, so I tried to change and I think I got it quite good looking. Any comments?


Can you tell me how you customized your site so that the static page would not show up as the default index.php? I'd like for my static page to show up in the 3-column format, and I'd like to eliminate the default home page. Did you delete your index.php file?


Thanks!

Yeah, unfortunately it cost me 22,- EUR. But for me, it's worth the money. Please read the forum of frontpageslideshow before you buy it. There are some people seeming to have problems with the script. Its natively written for Joomla, and it seems that its people using it on Joomla, who a experiencing the errors.


I tested my blog on IE7, Safari and Firefox and I do not get errors, so for me everything is fine. If anyone of you gets errors on my page please tell me your browser and OS Version.


Support from the guys who develop FPSS does not seem to be very good. Normally a behaviour I don't like, but as I said before fortunately for me everything works fine.


Once you bought the script its almost self-explanatory. Just delete the ui-tab call in the index.html and replace it with the slideshow-call. Some CSS-Adjustments and settings in the fpss.php and all is fine.


One major customization I did was that I changed the FPSS.php so that I dont have to fill in the posts I want in my slideshow manually but they are pulled from the_loop automatically if they are in a certain category.

It´s great. I wanted to use it for the theme anyway but there are some legal issues due to the fact that this slideshow is not open source. If you bought it and use it for your site that´s fine but unfortunately I cannot use it for the theme at the moment…
