    Create 8 Featured Pages In Child Theme
    After several failed attempts, I finally
    Item One
    I am trying to add eight (8) featured pages to my homepage.
    I read about seven (7) month ago that the developer was going to add this option, however that still remains.
    Here is a linked example from the developer’s site
    http://www.busheymeads.org.uk
    I am a newbie here and really need some assistance.
    Item Two
    I would also like to have a table within a page, e.g.
    http://ccbra.ro/categorii/general/
    That when the mouse rolls over the .png the item will zoom and have a link on it.

    I Really need some help please.
    Respectfully submitted,
    Deirg

  • 1) There is a plugin Extension to achieve this.

    2) That is built-in. When you add a Post, there is a panel bottom-right where you can add a Featured Image. To be correct, it needs to be sized at 270×250.

    Thanks for the super fast response.
    I took you advise and purchased the “Featured Pages Unlimited”.
    I downloaded, uploaded, activated and even entered the activation key.
    I then visited Customiz’it, Clicked FrontPage…Featured layout and click ed 8 an d4 per line…
    WOW, it worked so smoothly.
    Thank you so much rdellconsulting, You are the best. Woo Whoo!!

    Notice: Anyone looking to do this, please do what rdellconsulting recommended. It is well worth the money. I need to throw u some beer money also.

    Can you assist me with the second question about the tables with the two(2) featured photos in the table.
    Example: <ahref=”http://ccbra.ro/categorii/general/”>http://ccbra.ro/categorii/general/

    Would you please tell me how to gee the menu table in the upper left corner?
    Would you please tell me how to get the logo to float?

    And one more please could you please tel me how to add buttons and text to the menu bar.
    Example:
    http://www.busheymeads.org.uk

    I again truly want to thank you for your kindness and assistance,

    Happy Valentine’s Day, Mwah!

    One more…Is ther a way to add featured pages to other pages besides the front pages?
    Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!

    1) Menu table? Do you mean the navbar? Use this Snippet

    2) Logo, same principle as 1) using .tc-header .brand a{}

    3) Adding button, use Snippet

    4) I think it’s on the wishlist for FPU extension.

    Wow, Thank you so much.
    I am sorry to keep asking you, but I would like to let’s say create a page and have like a table in it, lets say 4 cells within a table and within each cell i would like to have text along with a round photo that zooms and this photo would have a link to wherever I wanted to set it.
    Something lke this page with only 2 cells

    Thanks you so much,

    You should avoid using Tables, very bad form these days!

    Read this Snippet which explains the basics behind Twitter Bootstrap 2 which is the framework to Czr.

    But if you have FPU, couldn’t that do it for you with 1×4 grid? Then you’ll need this Snippet to point to your URLs.

    Afterthought: You’re talking about a page, not the Front Page?

    Thank you for the information. I think that after reading your advise I think the grids are better to use.

    One More Item. Plz…
    Adding Buttons To Menu
    I am trying to emulate the following site
    http://www.busheymeads.org.uk
    Item One
    I would like to add Buttons to the Navigational Menu

    I would like to add buttons to the Featured Page Items Instead if text.

    Customizr [UNresolved] Create 8 Featured Pages In Child Theme (10 posts)

    Note to WebPerson, I am Not Bumping this up
    RdellConsulting,

    I just wanted to let you know that I am not flagging out and asking you to do all the work, I am studying all this and practicing as well.

    The other day you assisted me with a host of information of which I am truly grateful.There is but one item of which I am not able to understand your respons and would like some clairification.

    I asked the following:

    Can you assist me with the second question about the tables with the two (2) featured photos in the table.Example: http://ccbra.ro/categorii/general/

    I then went on stating….

    I am sorry to keep asking you, but I would like to let’s say create a page and have like a table in it, lets say 4 cells within a table and within each cell I would like to have text along with a round photo that zooms and this photo would have a link to wherever I wanted to set it.

    And your reply was:

    You should avoid using Tables, very bad form these days!
    Read this Snippet which explains the basics behind Twitter Bootstrap 2 which is the framework to Czr.

    But if you have FPU, couldn’t that do it for you with 1×4 grid? Then you’ll need this Snippet to point to your URLs.
    Afterthought: You’re talking about a page, not the Front Page?

    I have since read the article of which you directed me to do so and it appears that I would like to create a page with a gid structure of

    3/4 – 1/4 layout
    1/4 – 3/4 layout
    3/4 – 1/4 layout
    1/4 – 3/4 layout

    For the 1/4 – 3/4 layout the article instructs me to do the following:
    So the Final grid should be
    <div class=”row-fluid”>
    <div class=”span9″>…</div>
    <div class=”span3″>…</div>
    </div>
    <div class=”row-fluid”>
    <div class=”span3″>…</div>
    <div class=”span9″>…</div>
    </div><div class=”row-fluid”>
    <div class=”span9″>…</div>
    <div class=”span3″>…</div>
    </div>
    <div class=”row-fluid”>
    <div class=”span3″>…</div>
    <div class=”span9″>…</div>
    </div>

    Am I getting Close?

    I did as the article states and clicked on “TEXT” and pasted the code within the “editor”.

    Okay I am getting there a bit.

    Please review the page I made at http://bubblemaids.com/?p=194

    Okay I got the first part, but within the same article it argues about Twitter BootStraping. I have read that article and have no clue.

    You later mentioned the following “But if you have FPU, couldn’t that do it for you with 1×4 grid? Then you’ll need this Snippet to point to your URLs.

    Afterthought: You’re talking about a page, not the Front Page?

    I don’t know what FPU means?

    So were in full circle again.

    I want to know how I can have my images do the zoom thing like

    http://ccbra.ro/categorii/general/

    I think I’m getting close.

    Thank you
