• Basically i’m using Frontpage Slideshow plugin. It does the job but it also destroys a couple of features in the admin pages. Basically I can’t add tags, pictures, set a timestamp…

    When i turn off the plugin i can do all these things perfectly. I was hoping with an update it might be fixed but it seems the plugin is outdated.

    However I love what it does for me on http://www.cineme.be!

    Does anybody know what other plugin or something does the same thing without destroying my admin options when adding a new article?

    Please help me? 🙂

  • I Have the same bug with this plugin. I fixed it by modifying the frontpage-slideshow.php (backup the file before modification):

    – delete all lines in function “frontpageSlideshow_init()” (line 106) and in frontpageSlideshow_admin_enqueue_scripts() (jQuery is now included in wordpress 3.3 so these lines are useless )

    – comment (or delete) all the “if ($meta_box[‘name’] == ‘fs-link’)” (from line 1232 to line 1253) : the link feature will always link to the post.

    Works for me, hope it helps. (sorry for my english :/)

    Hi, Thank you already….

    could you please describe to me what it is exactly i need to comment?
    That deleting part wasn’t a problem…

    if ($meta_box['name'] == 'fs-link') {
    						$attachments = array_merge(
    								get_children(array(
    									'post_type' 	=> 'page',
    									'post_parent'		=> null,
    								)),
    								get_children(array(
    									'post_type' 	=> 'post',
    									'post_parent'		=> null,
    								))
    								);
    						$posts = '';
    						foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
    							$permalink = get_permalink($attachment->ID);
    							$posts .= '<option value="'.$permalink.'"';
    							if (get_post_meta($post->ID, $meta_box['name'], true) != '' && (get_post_meta($post->ID, $meta_box['name'], true) == $attachment->guid || get_post_meta($post->ID, $meta_box['name'], true) == $permalink)) $posts.= ' selected="selected"';
    							$posts .= '>'.$attachment->post_title.'</option>';
    						}
    						if (get_post_meta($post->ID, $meta_box['name'], true) == '')
    							$posts = '<option value="" disabled="disabled" selected="selected">'.__('Choose a page on this blog').'</option>'.$posts;
    						echo '<select onchange="document.getElementById(\''.$meta_box['name'].'\').value = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">'.$posts.'</select>';
    					}
    					echo '<input type="text" name="'.$meta_box['name'].'" id="'.$meta_box['name'].'" value="'.str_replace('"','\"',get_post_meta($post->ID, $meta_box['name'], true)).'" style="width: 100%" /><br />';
    					echo '<p><label for="'.$meta_box['name'].'">'.$meta_box['description'].'</label></p>';
    ?>	</td>
    				</tr>

    This is the code as it is right now
