Rob 547 Report post Posted October 22, 2011 You're looking in the PlatformPro settings under "Feature Settings". Go to Dashboard > Features > Features on the left column of your admin screen. This will open the list of current, existing feature sliders. You add your image, which should be full width, as a background (as demonstrated). Where you see #fakelink, you can actually place a normal URL to create a link to your post, page, category, search results or any other area of the site or even to an external link. Please note external links open in the same window. For a new slide to work, it must be part of a feature set. Your template for a page must include the feature slider option. The Features Page has it by default. So, if you're creating a static homepage and want the feature slider present, make sure you select Feature Page in the area on the right where you pick the template. A note on feature sliders. They can be made to whatever width you wish, however, by default they are the full width of the site. If you want sidebars on the side(s) please let us know and we'll point out the proper instructions.

jankowalski 3 Report post Posted October 22, 2011 Can you give normal URL to create a link to my recent post so i can place it instead of #fakelink? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 547 Report post Posted October 22, 2011 A URL is found in the address bar of your browser. Open a new browser tab and go to your website. Find the page you want and copy the URL from the address bar (which has "http://www.yoursite.... in the box). Just paste that into the URL field and replace the #fakelink Former PageLines Moderator, Food Expert and Raconteur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jankowalski 3 Report post Posted October 22, 2011 i don t want to create a feature and link it to anything. could you please read my first messege, i don t think you got the point. i want to have 3 features with last 3 recent posts on my blog, automaticly. i don t want to create feature for each new post. there is an option in feature configuration to display posts from certain category and it works well but only for one selected category. i need to modify it so it show recents entries from all categories = recent posts and display it. like news slider.

Rob 547 Report post Posted October 22, 2011 Apologies. As of the present moment, the slider doesn't have the option to include more than one category. However, you have the option to create a category called "Features" and include posts from whatever other categories you like. I'm uncertain if you can then edit the individual sliders to direct the URL to different categories, posts or links as the content is then driven dynamically.
