Marking this as solved. For reference I have posted the fix for the GC Testimonials – Cyclone2 conflict here. This code goes to your functions.php:

/*** GC Testimonial Overrides ***/
remove_action('widgets_init', 'gct_load_testimonial_widgets' ); // Remove widget added by GC Testimonial

add_action('widgets_init', 'overrride_gct_load_testimonial_widgets'); // Add our own widget
function overrride_gct_load_testimonial_widgets() {
    register_widget('Override_GCT_Testimonial_Menu_Widget');
}

add_action('wp_footer', 'override_gct_widget_code'); // Add our own script
function override_gct_widget_code(){
    echo '<script type="text/javascript">jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $("#tcycle").cycle({
        fx: "fade",
        speed: 1500,
        timeout: 1000,
        pauseOnHover: true,
        slides: ">div"
    }); });
    </script>';
}

if(class_exists('GCT_Testimonial_Menu_Widget')):

    class Override_GCT_Testimonial_Menu_Widget extends GCT_Testimonial_Menu_Widget {

        function widget($args, $instance) {

            if (is_active_widget( '', '', 'gc-testimonial-widget' )) {
                wp_enqueue_style('gctwidgetstyles', plugins_url().'/gc-testimonials/assets/css/gctwidget.css', false, '1.0', 'all');
                //add_action('wp_footer', 'gct_widget_script'); // Remove offending scripts
                //add_action('wp_footer', 'gct_widget_code');
            }

            $data = array_merge($args, $instance);

            echo $data['before_widget'];

            if ( !empty( $data['title'] ) ) { echo $data['before_title'] . $data['title'] . $data['after_title']; };

Hello guys,

There is a good example on my site: http://www.codefleet.net/cyclone-slider-2/templates/lea/

Click on the 7th slide with the pictures of wildebeest. As you can see I added a text-align:center on the image containing element:

.cycloneslider-template-lea .cycloneslider-slide{
     text-align:center;
}

and similar to Chad Warner’s comment above, add margin: 0 auto. BUT, adding !important is considered bad practice, so just make your style more specific (you can google that).

So:

.cycloneslider-template-lea img{
     display:block;
     margin:0 auto;
}

Note, you have to change .cycloneslider-template-lea to the class name of your template.

Hello dmcallister1,

I’ll try and answer your questions for future referrence for other users.

“when the slider is sliding, and I choose a video. the video only plays if I keep the mouse over it.” >> You can set timeout to zero and use manual transition instead.

“What should happen is the chosen video should play in its entirety and then the slider should resume.” >> Not currently possible due to limitations with underlying script cycle2. However its possible to pause the slideshow when slideshow is transitioning to the next slide. It can be achieved with the Youtube template. But it has its limitations too. You can check it here: http://www.codefleet.net/cyclone-slider-2/templates/youtube/

“if your plug in cant do that, just tell me so I can move on to another plugin.” >> No it can’t. A quick google search would yield many other plugins that might fit your needs.

Assuming you have moved on im marking this as resolved.

Hello nadinecamille,

Unfortunately the previous update broke the nextgen importer. Please update to the latest version (2.5.6) to fix this issue. Thank you for your patience.

Best regards

Update: Currently waiting from wpml.org to give us a copy (free developer version) of their plugin for testing.

Hello guys, this is hard to debug as I dont know anymore details other than the slideshow not found error. Please try out the latest version and see if that helps since I changed the code that gets the slideshow (see changelog for details) so see if that makes a difference. I would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks!

Use this in your template file <?php echo mtbxr_val(‘se_lect’); ?>

Hello davedub.

The function you are looking for is cyclone_slide_image_url. Unfortunately its not documented at the moment. But you can check the code in inc/functions.php.

To set resize to portrait:

Inside your template in slider.php find the cyclone_slide_image_url. This function takes care of resizing the image and returns the url to that image. Add the resize_option to the passed parameter:

<?php echo cyclone_slide_image_url($slider_meta['id'], $slider_settings['width'], $slider_settings['height'], array('current_slide_settings'=>$slider_meta, 'slideshow_settings'=>$slider_settings, 'resize_option'=>'portrait') ); ?>
