Feature Slider

Recommended Posts

goodwinwapcssorg

Hi, After changing the background on my feature slider in WHP3, it's now showing that I have more feature slides (numbers) than are actually there. I deleted and rebuilt the slides, then reset to default. No luck. The second problem is the right sidebar has moved to below my main content in Firefox but is fine in IE. Here's the link. Any help would be appreciated. WG

Because I was experimenting with backgrounds, I made a backup copy of the original background and copied over the one in the images folder (featurebg-blue.jpg). Thanks very much.

The fun started when I purchased Platform Pro and activated it. After testing it, I reactivated WHP3 and got the dreaded "Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in..." error message. I then applied the fix supplied by Andrew Powers by adding... if(is_array(pagelines('fboxes'))): above... $count = 1 then... <?php endif;?> after the last </php endforeach;?> That seemed to have resolved the error, but still having issues. When making a few changes to the pro.css file, I used Dreamweaver to save over the file, which apparantly corrupted it. So, I copied over the pro.css with a fresh copy from the theme. Not sure where to go from here. If we need to get pay a Pagelines developer to assist, that can be done. Thanks again.

I forgot to mention that the fix supplied by Andrew was applied to the template_fboxes.php file.

Okay, I'm a dummy. I had firefox magnifyed by one click, so the sidebar issue is fixed. I still have the extra feature slide numbers though. Thanks again for any help you can provide.

The feature slide problem may be due to hard edits you've made, hard to investigate. For almost everything you should be able to avoid hard edits. Editing files in Dreamweaver is definitely not advisable, because things are automated it's not precise and guesswork by the program can mess things up. For CSS, you want to use Custom Code > Custom CSS. Thanks, Bryan

Yes, I've tried to do everything in Custom CSS. Unfortunately, those edits stop working when the theme is upgraded. Learned that lesson. The extra feature slides happened before I made the hard edits and I keep a record of my changes. Is there anything I can do to resolve the extra feature slides? I've got ftp access to the site.

Hey will, ok to start with this one.... lets first make sure you've checked your markup... have you run a w3 validation? (a missing closing tag can cause this issue) also, have you deactivated plugins?

Hi Andrew, Yes, I ran the W3 validation and it reported missing closing tags, but when I checked them they were closed, I've beem thru many steps simce then, including disabling plug-ins one at a time. So, I'll check the validator again. Thanks for the help. WG

Hi Andrew, Okay, I found the invalid code and that seemed to have worked. Although the page is still getting errors, the code in the feature seems to have fixed the problem. Do you see any other errors that may cause problems ahead? I'm still working on the rss feed to get it in 2 columns. Thanks again. WG

I spoke too soon. I'm still showing 5 feature slide numbers in the feature slider when viewing in Firefox. I'm happy to supply login credentials if needed. Thanks, WG

I've actually seen this before but for the life of me can't find the post. It had something to do with the play/pause button I think. Is this the latest version of WHP?

No, it's version 3.02. When I activated the newer version, I lost my previous customizations (in Custom CSS) due to the upgrades in the version. Would it be simpler to upgrade to v3.13 and rebuild the customizations? I have them saved in notepad.

I got rid of all the W3C Validation errors except for this one: 1. Error Line 513, Column 27: there is no attribute "role" <div id="sidebar" role="complementary"> I'm still getting too many numbers in the featurenav. Could this error be the cause? Here's the link to our site again. Thanks again. WG

I see four numbers in the feature nav... is that too many? Everything is looking good to me. Maybe add a Jing screencast? Nice looking site btw :)

Thanks Andrew, Yes, that's the right amount of numbers. Finally figured it out using the forum. Still have a few things to do but I'm okay for now. Thanks again. WG
