  • The above code, by the way, will center your slideshows side-by-side. I figured out that the margins were the 7px on lines 2 & 5. Mine kept showing up off-center until I figured that out and did my math correctly. So if my slideshows are width=375 then 375+375+7+7=764

    There is also code to do side-by-side on the left.
    I got the code from here:

    Better yet! I found this code and it works better without using tables and without having to get into your style.css file.

    <div style="width:TOTALpx;margin:auto;">
    <div style="float:left;width:auto;margin-right:7px;">
    SHORTCODE1 HERE
    </div>
    <div style="float:left;width:auto;margin-left:7px;">
    SHORTCODE2 HERE
    </div>
    </div>
    <div style="clear:both;height:1em;"></div>

    Change TOTALpx to width1 + withd2 + margins

    I was able to get the slideshows to show up side by side using CSS and TABLE. Here is the code I used:

    CSS (added to child theme style.css file)

    table#hometable {
    	margin-left:auto;
    	margin-right:auto;
    }

    HTML

    <table id="hometable" width="800" border="0">
    <tr>
    <td width="50%"><center>[slideshow_deploy id='xxxx']</center></td>
    <td><center>[slideshow_deploy id='xxxx']</center></td>
    </tr>
    </table>

    Here is the result: http://www.elijahrock.net

    The problem that I’m having is that I want the table to be a fixed width and the space in between the slideshows to be constant. But I’m not sure how to do that.

    But, I hope what I’ve learned helps you!

    I was able to get the EasyRotator Wizard to install in Ubuntu 12.04 following these steps:

    1. Install Adobe Air 2.6 (I selected the runtime version, not sure that it matters) from the link Drew O’Neill provided above

    http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html

    after download, open terminal, then:

    cd <directory where .BIN file downloaded>
    sudo ./AdobeAir-yadda-yadda.bin

    2. AFTER Adobe Air 2.6 successfully installs, download the wizard installer and let Adobe Air open and install it.

    If you get an error, go to Step 3!

    3. IF you get an error that mentions a missing Gnome-Keyring or KDE Wallet, then you need to open a terminal and run the following commands:

    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0

    (found this fix at: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/install-adobe-flash-reader-air-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ )

    4. After running the above commands, redownload the wizard and let Adobe Air open and install it.

    This should get the wizard up and running. This worked for me using Ubuntu 12.04. I initially tried to install the wizard under wine. It installed fine but I couldn’t register because it kept saying that I wasn’t connected to the internet. This is a better way to install that doesn’t use wine, but rather installs the wizard directly in linux using the linux compatible Adobe Air.

    EDIT: I had to manually add the connection to the wizard application. To do this you’ll need the API URL and API Key. Both are listed under the EasyRotator section of the admin panel.

    Good luck!

    HEH! Darn, you’re right. And I thought I was being pretty clever… 😉

    That works very well!
    I even included an additional IF statement to exclude the most recent entry.


    <?php $posts = get_posts( "category=1" ); ?>
    <?php if( $posts ) : ?>
    <?php $counter = 1; ?>
    <?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
    <?php if ($counter > 1) : ?>
    <li><center><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_title(); ?></a></center></li>
    <li><span class="date"><center><?php the_time('F d, Y'); ?></center></span></li><p>
    <?php $counter = $counter + 1; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php $counter = $counter + 1; ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
