Client Slider how to maintain changes in "js/scripts.js"?

ifam_ek · November 2019

Hi there,

am I right that your client slider is based on slick slider?

https://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/

I would like to have a continous sliding which means that it should only slide one logo instead of four. I already found it on line 2763 inside the theme js/script.js.

slidesToShow: slickAutoResponsive(slider, 4),
slidesToScroll: slickAutoResponsive(slider, 4)

Can you tell me, if there is a way to maintain my edits after updating the theme? (Maybe there is a way using the child theme?)

Second question:

Slick allows responsiveness by using breakpoints?

Is it possible to add that too?

responsive: [
                        {
                            breakpoint: 1024,
                            settings: {
                                slidesToShow: 7,
                                slidesToScroll: 1,
                                autoplay: true,
                                autoplaySpeed: 0,
                                infinite: true,
                                speed: 4000,
                                cssEase: 'linear' // continuous sliding
                            }
                        },
                        {
                            breakpoint: 850,
                            settings: {
                                slidesToShow: 6,
                                slidesToScroll: 1,
                                autoplay: true,
                                autoplaySpeed: 0,
                                infinite: true,
                                speed: 4000,
                                cssEase: 'linear' // continuous sliding
                            }

Hello,

Sorry, but we do not provide help with the theme/plugins files modifcations.

All that I can tell you, is to install Child Theme before modifications - it will prevent losing your modifications while updating the theme.

And yes, our client slider is made on slick slider.

Thanks

Hi,

okay, I understand that you can't give support to modification. But I think that implementing this kind of responsiveness as additional feature inside the sliders would be nice...

If someone is interested, I copied the .js file and added this to my childrens functions.php

(It replaces the file, but the above mentioned lines seem to be wrong...)

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpse26822_script_fix', 100);
function wpse26822_script_fix()
{
wp_dequeue_script('parent_theme_script_handle');
wp_enqueue_script('child_theme_script_handle', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/scripts.js', array('jquery'));
}

Please be familiar with this documentation:

https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/

It's easy to understand at it will introduce you, how to properly use the Child Theme.

Also, what you wrote sounds like a good idea, please post it in this topic:
