• Hi,

    I was wondering if there is a way to use the Graphene slider to display images from a directory rather than show the posts submitted to the blog.

    Which file would I need to edit to try and make this happen if possible?

    Thanks

    I used this code to remove the excerpt from the graphene theme image slider. It didnt work. Does anyone have a different code?

    .block-button, .block-button:visited
    {display: none;}
    .slider-entry-wrap {display:none}

    try this:

    .slider-entry-wrap {display:none}

    This is what I have for images only in the slider, no excerp, no link..

    it worked. but I still have a link to the blog post. How do I get rid of the link? Also is it possible to add the images without them being on another page or blog post?

    go into graphene options / slider option, set the drop down to featured.
    go to the post in question, make sure it is in the featured category ( make this if you don’t have one)set the featured image to be what you want in the slider..that should do the trick.

    ::EDIT:: the featured image does not have to appear in the post, so just remove it from the actual post content.

    I guess I am still confused. Sorry. I did what you said but there is still a link to the blank blog post. Go to archibaldfam.com to see what it does.

    on the edit post page do you have the drop for sl;ider image set to “use global setting”? Been awhile since I’ve been in here, and I’m trying to rememebr if i had to edit one of the files..

    Yea there is the option for these:
    global setting
    don’t show image
    featured image
    first image in post
    custom url

    it was on global setting and I changed it to featured image and it didnt do anything.

    without being able to look in the backend, the only other thing I can think of is, when yu set the featured image, make sure the “file URL” is set to none, in the media window.

    how did you guys get this sorted out? I see that camarichi01 got it right where the pictures do not link to anything just like buddhaPi, how did you guys did it?

    Thanks!

    Check the official Graphene support forum for more information. Lots of people there have done this.

    with the latest version try this..

    make a back up of style.css first!
    around line 871 fin d this code snopppet

    .slider_post .permalink-overlay {
    	display: block;
    	position: absolute;
    	left: 0;
    	top: 0;
    	width: 100%;
    	height: 100%;
    	z-index: 5;
    
    and change it to this:

    .slider_post .permalink-overlay {
    display: block;
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    z-index: 5;

    this may not be the proper way to kill the link, but it works with no ill effects

    Deifos…I disabled the graphene slider and downloaded the easing slider plugin.
    go to http://www.easingslider.matthewruddy.com/ and it tells you how to install it or copy this

    <?php if (function_exists(‘easing_slider’)){ easing_slider(); }; ?>
    into where you want it. I put it into the header.php. this is of course after you have installed the easing slider plugin and put pictures in it how you want it.

    Thank you guys I ended up making a few changes to the header.php file and accomplished what I wanted. I guess that is how you learn ha!

    Cheers!

    I am trying to use the home page slider for images. I created a category called “Slider” and created a post (put in title, content area blank and set feature image).

    Then I go to Graphene Options and set:
    show posts from categories
    Slider image = “Feature Image”
    Slider Display Style = “Full post content”
    Front page post categories = “Slider”

    I keep getting the error message:
    ERROR: You must have selected at least one category when you have “Show posts from categories” selected for the slider.

    Then create a category called “images” (or whatever) and use that for posts that contain an image you want to have in the slider.
