We provide awesomness! slider on about page

georgetate · November 2014

Hi,

I'd like to create a slider similar to the one on your demo about page (http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/pages/about), the one under the heading 'We provide awesomness!'. Can you tell me how to d this please ?

With thanks in advance ...

Hi,

this item is called "Slider". But all slides for that item you can add in "Slides" section which is on the left side in main wp dshboard menu.

Once again thank you for prompt and useful response, slider now working fine :-)

Albert · December 2014

You are welcome

BTW I wanted to do a mixed list and couldn't see any shortcodes or way to do that using the muffin builder. I saw in the doc that you have given the code there

<ul class="list_mixed">
<li class="list_check">List item 1</li>
<li class="list_star">List item 2</li>
<li class="list_idea">List item 3</li>
</ul>

so I've used that which is fine, but is there any other way to access this code ?

Albert · December 2014

To use this inside muffin builder, just pick up "Column" item and paste above code into "Column". Most of muffin builder items parse html code properly.

georgetate · December 2014

Thanks, that's actually exactly what I did, I was just wondering whether the code or shortcode for a mixed list was anywhere on the site.

Albert · December 2014

We have them in the documentation at http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/documentation/#muffin-builder

georgetate · December 2014

On your page 'http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/shortcodes/content-elements' you show an example of a call to action which has a patterned blue background. Can you tell me how to achieve this ?

Albert · December 2014

We used background image for "Section" item

More information about that you can read at http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/documentation/#section

georgetate · December 2014

I had a look at that, and have managed to provide a link to your bg image. However as you can see from http://www.active-play.co.uk/dino-car/overview/ at bottom of page the icon is black so you can hardly see it against this background. Is it possible to use a white icon so it is visible ?

Also I see you have a bookmark icon. Do you have any functionality to go with this, or will I need to do my own coding for this, or use a plugin.

Thank you once again for your great support !

To change icon color inside call to action item, please use below css:

.call_to_action .call_center .icon_wrapper { color: #FFF !important; }

But which bookmark icon you mean exactly? Please show it us because we are not sure.

georgetate · December 2014

OK, I've just seen that you have an example of exactly what I want to do with the 'Play' button on call to action. I see that you have specified 'dark' as custom css and that seems to have done the trick. Is there any documentation for this ? I.e. if I hadn't seen that there was an example on your site is there any way I could have known this ?

Loving your theme by the way !

Albert · December 2014

On God, we are really not sure what feature you mean

What dark section? Where we got it? Please make a screenshot of what you mean and we'll try to help.

georgetate · December 2014

I'm trying to recreate the 'Watch our video tutorials' call to action which you can see at http://snag.gy/UWGf0.jpg. When I did this originally the play button was black, but then I looked at your settings and saw that you had used 'dark' as the custom css style as in screenshot http://snag.gy/VRzmR.jpg. I therefore used this in my call to action and it turned the button white, which is great. However if I hadn't seen an example of this I would never have known how to do this, and just wondered whether there is any documentation anywhere that explains this sort of thing ?

As far as the bookmark icon is concerned you can see I've used it on my page http://www.active-play.co.uk/ which you can also see http://snag.gy/4DljV.jpg. I just wondered whether you have any code to bookmark a page, or do I have to use a plugin or code myself ?

With thanks in advance.

Albert · December 2014

Ok

thanks for explanation as we really had no idea what you meant. But the answer is yes and no. We have custom css field described at http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/documentation/#section but not exactly as .dark section. This was our gadget and it is not listed in the documentation as you want because each of you can fit for own needs.

About 2nd question, this is just button. There is no functionality for this button so probably you need to think about plugin or own solution for that because we do not have anything like that included.

georgetate · December 2014

Once again thanks.

I'm using your grid portfolio as yo can see a thttp://www.active-play.co.uk/dino-car/showroom/ , and notice that the picture is cropped so that you can't see the bottom as you should. Is there a quick fix for this apart from adding some white space to the bottom of the pic ?

Albert · December 2014

This can be only done in functions/theme-functions.php file where are add_image_size() functions.

georgetate · December 2014

I tried changing some of the parameters but it didn't make any difference. Would it be possible to give me the code for this ?

Also a general question in case you can help. I was wondering whether you know of any good media management plugins. Sometimes I do sites with hundreds of photos, and it would be nice to be able to organise them into folders.I've tried to find one through Wordpress plugin finder and Google search but haven't fond anything so far.

Albert · December 2014

If what we described above does not work then unfortunately we can't help because we do not have any other solution in this case. Sorry! We also did not used any media management plugins so we can't recommend any.

Thanks for understanding!

georgetate · December 2014

No worries ! Is it possible to have a portfolio using portrait photos ? I.e. I think your portfolio is geared for something like 1200 pixels wide x 450 pixels high pictures, but supposing the photos were 600 x 1200 as in http://www.active-play.co.uk/dantoy/roleplay/page-1/, is there any way you cater for that ?

Once again thanks in advance for your great support

Albert · December 2014

This can be also done only within add_image_size() function as we described above. There is no other way to do it. Things like images sizes or positions can be modified only in theme files. Thanks!

georgetate · December 2014

Is t possible to tell me which lines of code need to be changed ? Do I simply change the existing values and if so which ones ?

Albert · December 2014

Sorry but we as wrote before, we do not offer files modifications because we can't be responsible for your modifications later if you will have any problem. Also after modifications you are not able to do theme update because you will lose all your modifications. So if you want to do modifications and don't know how, then you should think about developer who will be responsible for all changes.

georgetate · December 2014

Not to worry. One other thing you will be able to help with, under your list feature you show a list from 1 to 6 nicely styled with a circle background (http://snag.gy/BaoDC.jpg). I can't see how to do this anywhere ???

Albert · December 2014

On which page you found them? We got so many shortcodes and stuff that sometimes we don't know where are they.

georgetate · December 2014

http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/shortcodes/content-blocks

Albert · December 2014

Ohh, ok. So this is "List" item which have few different styles and for this item we used "Ordered list" style and for "Title" field we type value "1".

georgetate · December 2014

OK, I've done that thanks - slowly getting there !

Is there any way of designers like me knowing this sort of stuff without having to ask ? It's a cool feature being able to style like this, but is it possible to code this so it is actually an unordered list ? I.e. with vertical tabs ?

Thanks once again for your great support service.

Albert · December 2014

The only place where we listed all items with explanation is documentation.

georgetate · December 2014

OK, given you have such a good support service that shouldn't be a problem !

:-)
