Version 1.3 Breaks CSS Styles

    In the process of adding a desecrate ID/class for each slide show gallery in version 1.3+ you removed all the general styles. So whereas before we could target #slideshow, .slideshow, or #slideshow-wrapper, now there is no common class or ID for all slideshows. They all have the slideshow ID in every class/ID.

    That means we can’t manipulate the slideshows via our style sheets. For example we cannot float the slideshows to place something beside them anymore.

    For comparison, this page is currently using version 1.3.1.1 of your plugin. There is no longer any way to put the box with the price and other data beside the slideshow.

    In contrast here is that same page with version 1.2.3.2 of the plugin showing how it is supposed to look.

    Can you please put the generic CSS selectors back in the slideshow output along with slideshow specific selectors?

    Thank you for your post, Chris.

    The slideshow wrapper just needs a float:left; on it.
    See this screenshot/illustration: http://goo.gl/yda6hG

    If you want to, you can apply the CSS to that DIV directly in the slideshow-gallery/views/default/css.php file or alternatively you can wrap your shortcode/hardcoding with a custom DIV element and apply float:left; to that.

    Let me know if this helps, please.

    Heya Antoine! I get what you are saying. The thing is that the folks who purchase our themes have a very broad range of technical ability. With many of the less technically inclined, asking them to add a div around your shortcode for something that we previously could just put in the theme’s style sheet will cause confusion for them, to say the least. Asking them to modify one of your plugin’s files is beyond many of their skill levels altogether.

    Are you saying that you cannot simply either replace or add one generic CSS selector to your plugin’s content so we can provide a better experience for our customers by adding the necessary styling for them?

    Not sure why this was marked as resolved. Changed that as I’m still hoping for an answer to my previous question.

    Thank you for your response, Chris.

    I marked it as resolved because I assumed the answer would be the solution.

    I understand what you’re saying about the DIV though that you cannot put that around the shortcode since you seem to be relying on other users to use this.

    We can add a CSS class selector to the main slideshow wrapper DIV. I have added this to our development list just now so that we can include it into the next release. In the meanwhile, if you submit a ticket to us, I’ll give you a development build which includes this. You can submit the ticket here: http://tribulant.com/support/

    We’ve added more CSS selectors in version 1.4 of the Slideshow Gallery plugin so that it can be styled more easily. Let me know if it helps, please.

    Just updated to your version 1.4. Very nice!

    Had to make one minor adjustment to the CSS in our themes and now we’re back in business. Thank you for adding the generic CSS class back into the plugin output.

    For anyone else reading this thread I also had to change the setting for the path to the gallery images under Slideshow –> Configuration. But that’s going to vary depending on server configuration. I had to go with absolute paths for the images. Also I updated all the shortcodes to the new [tribulant_slideshow] shortcode in case the old [slideshow] one ever stops working.

    Thank you for your response.
    I’m glad to hear that you like the new version.

    Please remember to give the plugin a rating and click “Works” for 3.9/1.4 if you are satisfied with it and if everything works as expected.
