Magazine & Portfolio Layout Showcase

[gwfans]

Gwfans is not correct.. there was a bug but it was fixed in 3.04

You can change your front page by selecting a magazine page in Settings > Reading

If you want to add a banner to the rightside of header you'll need to customize the header code. There are other threads on this for example: http://www.socratestheme.com/forum/showthread.php?t=793

Don't forget our search box.. you can find the answers to any issues quickly.

I checked the magazine-one.php, and found this code:

<?php
if(is_front_page()){
    $paged = (get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;
}else{
    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
}
    $temp = $wp_query;
    $wp_query= null;
    $wp_query = new WP_Query();
    $wp_query->query('posts_per_page=2&paged=' . $paged);
?>

It's still "posts_per_page=2", didn't change anything

Can you download and install 3.04 from the members area.

Can you download and install 3.04 from the members area.

Dan, it's 3.04, i checked another site, it's the same code

The reason I said, "can you download and install 3.04 from the member's area".. is because shortly after uploading 3.04 on July 3rd.. I changed that one number from 2 to 5 in the magazine template.

I didn't want to release a new version because I changed 1 byte of info.

I used the Earth color scheme with a couple of minor changes and uploaded my own banner and background images. The Home page uses the Magazine 1 template and is set as the static Home page in WP Settings/Reading. An empty page named Blog is designated as the Posts page in WP Settings/Reading. The slider is the default dimensions and uses featured images for posts in my Featured category. I added the Featured category so that I can easily change the post images that appear in the slider.

Can you go into more detail about how you are able to have different images show up on the home page (slider) than the pics that are shown on the featured post once you click through?

Also, how did you get the dogs paw to show outside of the header space? Is that special coding?

Thanks!

Sorry about the long-delayed reply. I didn't see the post with questions from Denhil until today. And thank you for the kind words, Eva.

In order to control which posts and images appear in the slider, I made a "Featured" category in Posts/Categories. Each post that is linked to a slider image is assigned the "Featured" category as well its product category. Also, in the post editor, a Featured Image (the slider image) is set/uploaded. In Socrates settings, Post Display Settings, I unchecked Enable Featured Thumbnails on Index Page and added this style to my child style sheet: .post a.featured-image, .post a.featured-image img {display: none;} to prevent thumbnails of the slider images from appearing in post lists.

The header image was created with the dog paw, but I sliced the image just above the paw. The slice has everything masked out (transparent) except the paw and its shadow. I opened the navbar image in Photoshop and saved a copy as a .psd file, then added the paw as a new layer, lining it up with the header background image. Saved a new .jpg copy of the navbar background image with the paw and designated it as the background in my child style sheet. I added a small triangle as a hover image to replace the hover color. Otherwise, there's a problem with the hovered area covering up bits of the navbar and destroying the illusion.
