Just pointing it out and hoping you’ll make the change to font sizes (of standard slider’s left and right aligned slides when slider is in the Primary area) in the next update.

Of course I can find and add the css to fix it, but if I knew you acknowledged this and will make the change in a future update, I would rather not do it, and forget to remove my css fixes after the next update. Thanks

[mharpen]

Thanks Jason. You continue to redefine “Awesome”!! Love your work and support. Jumpstart 2 sounds exciting. I will definitely get it.

Thanks for the css for the Bootstrap slider. I changed the padding to 9px instead of 10, to match the Standard Slider frame padding.

No, my browser is not throwing an error in normal viewing mode. I guess the browser is ignoring it and skipping over any javascript errors.

I’ve listened to your video on Jumpstart 2, and am still unsure if it makes sense to drop Alyeska and switch to JS 2. Do you have any further discussions on switching from one of your themes like Alyeska to JS 2? And what to expect in order to get similar features or advantages of doing so, over staying with Alyeska? Thanks again.

Thanks Jason,

The top slider is a Bootstrap slider, the 2nd slider is a Nivo slider

I’ve tried turning off various plugins but no change on the error when using IE’s F12 feature or Firebug’s debugger (with split pane turned on).

Also, notice the bootstrap slider has no frame and about 20 pix space on the right side.

Again, it would be great to have a play/pause button option on both of these sliders.

Thanks again.

Jason, after a little research, it appears that bootstrap has been updated to use getItemIndex() instead of getActiveIndex(). Please see discussion at:

https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/14215

Is this something you can change? Possibly an update to the core slider code in the TB sliders plugin?

The error mentioned in my previous post above occurs in both the Bootstrap and Nivo sliders. Thanks.

[mharpen]

Just want to add, that a pause/play button option would be helpful for the Nivo slider also. Thanks.

I figured it out. Here’s a “film-strip” / “horizontal thumbnails” type slider if anyone is interested. Similar to the Post Grid Slider, but for Images. Images can link to any URL, and can have Title text below.

Add the code to the bottom of your functions.php (in your child theme).

Thanks Jason for including the Slider API and the docs. Took me a while to wrap my head around it, but finally the light bulb went off. One small suggestion please: Add a parameter to the add_slider() method to allow specifying ‘custom_size’ = true. So the slide editor will allow selecting from multiple crop sizes instead of just one. Or maybe add a function to the sliders API class to allow modifying the private $client_sliders array. Not a big deal, but it would prevent having to add another copy of a custom slider in order to provide an alternate $media_positions setting.

Thanks again. Theme Blvd ROCKS!

// Slide types
$slide_types = array('image');
 
// Media positions
$media_positions = array('full' => 'grid_3');
	//grid_3 = 240x150 hard crop
 
// Slide elements
$slide_elements = array('image_link', 'headline');
 
// Options
$options = array();


// Add Slider type
themeblvd_add_slider( 'thumbnails_slider', 'Thumbnails Slider',
	$slide_types, $media_positions, $slide_elements, $options, 'display_thumbnails_slider' );


// Display slider
function display_thumbnails_slider( $slider, $settings, $slides  ) {
 
   // Enqueue Flexslider script
    wp_enqueue_script( 'flexslider' ); // will be added to wp_footer()
    ?>
    <script>
    jQuery(document).ready(function($){
        $(window).load(function() {
            $("#<?php echo $slider; ?>").flexslider({

				slideshow: true,
				animation: "slide",
				animationLoop: true,
			        itemWidth: 270			// 270= crop width (240) + right padding below (20) + pretty class (10). note: can be smaller than 270, but not larger

            });
        });
    });
    </script>

Hi J, Just a reminder. I updated to 3.1.3 and it’s still fuzzy. Thanks!

[mharpen]

I also think those 7 color options that you display examples of at this website would be fine for a “lite” version of a TB Background plugin.

http://themeforest.net/item/alyeska-responsive-wordpress-theme/164366

[mharpen]

When I create a site for someone with your theme, it’s nice to show them the options they have in the theme options. In the past I didn’t have to download the full package to their system, unzip it, and show them how to navigate to images, and then pull up the text document with hex colors. (BTW, when i open that text document in notepad, the line feeds are missing and it’s hard to read. It’s probably a unicode thing or setting on my side). Anyway, I’d much rather not have to go through that with a customer in order to let them choose and play with some background options. And sometimes people do want to change it later. Thanks so much again!

[mharpen]

Hi J. I agree with you, but also with the others who have chimed in about missing the built-in TB background options. I see your point, but actually those built in options for background color and texture were nice and are definitely missed. Have you thought about an optional plugin that would add that back in? I would suggest a plugin that had a “lite” version of the background choices, maybe just 1/4 of the texture options. I would vote for the textures: bokeh, glass, glow, mozaic and splatter. I would bet these are the ones most used. I never liked the ones with lines, grids and dots, and wood only worked with brown, but there was only a dark brown. Anyway, it was a nice feature that the theme used to have. Please consider a plugin. It would be much appreciated. Thanks as always for your amazing work and support.

[mharpen]

Yes, I saw that in the text tab ([caption] a tag img tag [/caption]). It was making me crazy trying to figure out why the caption was causing a difference. If you can do anything to keep it consistent that would be appreciated. Such as replace the whole [caption] a tag img tag [/caption] with the Lightbox shortcode. Thanks again!

[mharpen]

Thanks! Why is it not consistent whether or not there is a Caption specified? It does not create the Lightbox shortcode if a caption is specified.

[mharpen]

just one other small thing, in case you haven’t noticed. the Carrousel slider extends beyond the page width in mobile mode. thanks as always!

[mharpen]

Thanks as always Jason! Some of my pages have iframes that show content that i’d like to show more of when in mobile mode. I see what you’re saying when stacking the columns, and not wanting to show a wide sidebar below, but it really does seem like a lot of realestate is wasted (on my HTC Evo) with the mobile setting at 480px and my phone turned sideways. When I change it to 620px (in my CSS below) it still leaves a reasonable border around the edge of the page and allows enough room for my various content and iframes. Thanks again. Below is the CSS I’m using if anyone’s interested.

/* Optimized for Mobile Devices - to override theme's 480px max-width */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
	/* Boxed Layout */
	.layout_boxed #top,
	.layout_boxed #featured,
	.layout_boxed #main,
	.layout_boxed #featured_below,
	.layout_boxed #bottom,
	.layout_boxed #after-footer {
 		max-width: 620px;
 	}

	/* Stretch Layout */
	.layout_stretch #top #header_content,
	.layout_stretch.menu_flip #top #menu-wrapper .menu-wrapper-inner,
	.layout_stretch.mobile_nav_style_1 #top #menu-wrapper .menu-wrapper-inner,
	.layout_stretch #featured .featured-inner,
	.layout_stretch #main .main-inner,
	.layout_stretch #featured_below .featured_below-inner,
	.layout_stretch #bottom #colophon,
	.layout_stretch #after-footer .after-footer-middle,
	.layout_stretch .flip-menu {
		max-width: 620px;
	}
}
