I am not sure if it is possible, but I figured I would ask here before I gave up. I am wanting the title in the featured post carousel to be like the rest of the titles. (http://letterstobreathe.com)
The only place the call to the title is mentioned is in the file called fn-general.php, I pasted the code that references the carousel below.
I have tried adding the the_ttftext and the title one, and all I have managed to do is break the whole blog until I re-upload the original. The fn-general file also has other blog settings in it, it is held in the themes includes directory.
function thman_carousel_featured_posts($max_posts=5, $offset=0) {
if(!function_exists('show_featured_posts'))
return false;
global $wpdb, $table_prefix;
$table_name = $table_prefix."features";
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $table_name ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT $offset, $max_posts";
$posts = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
$html = '';
$coint_i = 0;
foreach($posts as $post) {
$coint_i++;
$id = $post->id;
$posts_table = $table_prefix.'posts';
$sql_post = "SELECT * FROM $posts_table where id = $id";
$rs_post = $wpdb->get_results($sql_post);
$data = $rs_post[0];
$post_title = stripslashes($data->post_title);
$post_title = str_replace('"', '', $post_title);
$post_content = stripslashes($data->post_content);
$post_content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $post_content);
$post_content = strip_tags($post_content);
$permalink = get_permalink($data->ID);
$post_id = $data->ID;
$html .= '<div class="board_item">
<!-- board_item -->
<p>';
$thumbnail = get_post_meta($post_id, 'thumb_carousel', true);
if( isset($thumbnail) && !empty($thumbnail) ):
$html .= '<img src="'.$thumbnail.'" alt="'.$post_title.'" />';
endif;
$html .= '<a href="'.$permalink.'">'.thman_get_limited_string($post_title,50).'</a>'.thman_get_limited_string($post_content,160).'</p>
<p class="more"><a href="'.$permalink.'">Read more...</a></p>
<!-- /board_item -->
</div>';
}
echo $html;
return $coint_i;
}
thanks in advance for any help- even if it is just telling me it is not going to happen! I still have a lot of work left before I can go 'public' LOL
