Hello,

I really like the theme and all functions. But now I have a question about the featured image slider on my homepage.

I want the pictures to randomize everitime someone is opening that page. So the images will not show the same image first every time.

I want to use like 10 images and it would be great if sometimes the last is showing first and the first one is showing 5th.. etc

Is that possible (I Really hope)

My site is Rheja.com

Regards

Hi Jap,

For this, you’ll need to create a child theme. You can find more on creating child theme HERE. Then in you child theme’s functions.php add the following codes:

function fullframe_featured_slider() {
	global $post, $wp_query;
	//fullframe_flush_transients();
	// get data value from options
	$options 		= fullframe_get_theme_options();
	$enableslider 	= $options['featured_slider_option'];
	$sliderselect 	= $options['featured_slider_type'];
	$imageloader	= isset ( $options['featured_slider_image_loader'] ) ? $options['featured_slider_image_loader'] : 'true';

	// Get Page ID outside Loop
	$page_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();

	// Front page displays in Reading Settings
	$page_on_front = get_option('page_on_front') ;
	$page_for_posts = get_option('page_for_posts');

	if ( $enableslider == 'entire-site' || ( ( is_front_page() || ( is_home() && $page_for_posts != $page_id ) ) && $enableslider == 'homepage' ) ) {
		if( ( !$fullframe_featured_slider = get_transient( 'fullframe_featured_slider' ) ) ) {
			echo '<!-- refreshing cache -->';

			$fullframe_featured_slider = '
				<section id="feature-slider">
					<div class="wrapper">
						<div class="cycle-slideshow"
						    data-cycle-log="false"
						    data-cycle-pause-on-hover="true"
						    data-cycle-swipe="true"
						    data-cycle-random="true"
						    data-cycle-auto-height=container
						     data-cycle-fx="'. esc_attr( $options['featured_slide_transition_effect'] ) .'"
							data-cycle-speed="'. esc_attr( $options['featured_slide_transition_length'] ) * 1000 .'"
							data-cycle-timeout="'. esc_attr( $options['featured_slide_transition_delay'] ) * 1000 .'"
							data-cycle-loader="'. esc_attr( $imageloader ) .'"
							data-cycle-slides="> article"
							>

						    <!-- prev/next links -->
						    <div class="cycle-prev"></div>
						    <div class="cycle-next"></div>

						    <!-- empty element for pager links -->
	    					<div class="cycle-pager"></div>';

							// Select Slider
							if ( $sliderselect == 'demo-featured-slider' && function_exists( 'fullframe_demo_slider' ) ) {
								$fullframe_featured_slider .=  fullframe_demo_slider( $options );
							}
							else if ( $sliderselect == 'featured-post-slider' && function_exists( 'fullframe_post_slider' ) ) {
								$fullframe_featured_slider .=  fullframe_post_slider( $options );
							}
							elseif ( $sliderselect == 'featured-page-slider' && function_exists( 'fullframe_page_slider' ) ) {
								$fullframe_featured_slider .=  fullframe_page_slider( $options );
							}
							elseif ( $sliderselect == 'featured-category-slider' && function_exists( 'fullframe_category_slider' ) ) {
								$fullframe_featured_slider .=  fullframe_category_slider( $options );
							}
							elseif ( $sliderselect == 'featured-image-slider' && function_exists( 'fullframe_image_slider' ) ) {
								$fullframe_featured_slider .=  fullframe_image_slider( $options );
							}

			$fullframe_featured_slider .= '
						</div><!-- .cycle-slideshow -->
					</div><!-- .wrapper -->
				</section><!-- #feature-slider -->';

			set_transient( 'fullframe_featured_slider', $fullframe_featured_slider, 86940 );
		}
		echo $fullframe_featured_slider;
	}
}

Ok,

I tried to make a child theme. But when I activate it my slider is dessapeared, my sidebars, menu’s and a lot of settings.

How can I make the childtheme exactly like my site is now?

Or when I change to the child theme .. do I have to re do all settings manual?

I hope you can point me out what files and folders I do have to copy in my child theme folder.

Thanks in advantage!

[Rheja]

Ok, did the settings manual.

I copied the code into my functions. First it did not work.

After removing the endif; at the end it was working.

Do I need the endif?

thanks in advantage

@rheja: Sorry that was mistake while I copied, no you don’t need that. I’m glad that you found the issue and resolve is yourself.
If you use child theme, yes you’ll need to configure the settings again. Or may be use some plugins to do so.
Have a nice day!

Ok.. it is working..

One final question. After making a childtheme .. the slider text, promotional headlines, etc are not translated in English anymore.

I use polylang and without the childtheme it is working correct but with the childtheme it keeps in dutch.

Do you know how I can solve this?

jap

[Rheja]

Ok skip that last question. Thanks for your help

I see there is another problem on the site.. Polylang just not working good at the moment.

have a nice day.

@rheja:
Hi Jap:

I checked the child theme with Polylang and it seems to be working fine. If you have posts in that language and if that posts are showing in the language page, its displays fine.

Mahesh

Ok, It is very strange. Because of the childtheme Polylang keeps seeing my old promotional heading. And is not letting me change it in the stringtranslation.

How is this possible!? the rest is translated only the homepage texts not!

Ok I did find it. I had to copy my wpml-config.xml into my child folder..

And edit the file to change <key name="theme_mods_full-frame-pro"> into <key name="theme_mods_full-frame-pro-child">

It is working now! Thank you for the patience and help..

I really like your sollution!!
