In the options menu under 'Reading' I currently have 'A Static Page' selected because my page is being skewed when I select 'Your Latest Posts'. I tried disabling my widgets but this didn't seem to help. When I display the carousel by choosing 'Your Latest Post' under the 'Reading' option, the right hand widgets show up but the page gets completed skewed and I'm not sure how to fix this (note: the page is also skewed regardless of whether I use widgets or not). </p> <p>I apologize for all the questions but thought it would be easier to list them all because they are related issues. </p> <p>My questions are:<br /> 1) Is there a way to use the right hand sidebar widgets using the 'Static Page' option?<br /> 2) Is there something obvious I am doing wrong which is causing my site to skew completely when I choose 'Your Latest Post'?<br /> 3) For this particular site I don't necessarily need the carousel on the front page. Is there a way to only display it on pages of your choice? </p> <p>My site is <a href="http://bignavi.jp/news" rel="nofollow">http://bignavi.jp/news</a><br /> If you need more information in order to help please let me know. I previously sent Ben my login details for a separate issue which he solved, so if required you can use the same pswd and login to check the site out.

If you have shell or ssh access to the server, a simple touch .htaccess command will create the file. If you are using FTP to transfer files, create a file on your local computer, call it 1.htaccess, upload it to the root of your WordPress folder, and then rename it to .htaccess. </p> <p>You can edit the .htaccess file by FTP, shell, or (possibly) your host's control panel. </p> <p>If your .htaccess file contains errors that bring down your site ("Internal Server Error (500)"), you will need to use FTP or your host's control panel to delete the rogue .htaccess file.

I don't know when I will do it but hopefully it will be some time next week. For now you can follow Roscoes instructions as they cover the essentials. </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic.php?id=217#post-888 Thu, 15 May 2008 23:00:08 +0000 admin 888@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>I'm not sure I understand. You want to make a page template that looks like a normal blog page and lists 6-7 posts?</p> <p>This is more than possible but will depend entirely upon your php skills. I would suggest reading up on custom wordpress templates and the query_posts function as between the two of them you should be able to work something out. </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic.php?id=38#post-887 Thu, 15 May 2008 21:10:05 +0000 sj 887@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>I think this option is a must and very useful and important.</p> <p>Is there a possibility to change it with php in the file index.php?</p> <p>Where in the programming text belove do I need to change something in order to define the order of the categories.</p> <p>---</p> <p>&lt;div class="stripes clearfloat"&gt;</p> <p>&lt;?php get_sidebar(); ?&gt;</p> <p>&lt;div id="content"&gt;</p> <p>&lt;?php<br /> // Determines which categories will display in middle column</p> <p>$bm_boxColor[] = "green";<br /> $bm_boxColor[] = "red";<br /> $bm_boxColor[] = "grey";</p> <p>$bm_currentColor = -1;</p> <p>$postcat = get_settings( "mim_homeCat" );</p> <p>if( ! is_array( $postcat ) ) {<br /> foreach ( $bm_categories as $b ) {<br /> $postcat[] = $b-&gt;cat_ID;<br /> }<br /> }</p> <p>$bm_baseURL = get_bloginfo('url');</p> <p>forEach( $postcat as $bm_pC ) {</p> <p> $bm_currentColor ++;<br /> if( $bm_currentColor &gt;= count( $bm_boxColor ) ) { $bm_currentColor = 0; }</p> <p> $catDetails = bm_catProperties( $bm_pC ); </p> <p> //Choose how many total headlines you want in each category box<br /> query_posts('showposts=5&#38;cat=' . $bm_pC ); ?&gt;</p> <p> &lt;div class="whitebox catnews"&gt;</p> <p> &lt;h3 class="&lt;?php echo $bm_boxColor[ $bm_currentColor ]; ?&gt;"&gt;<a>cat_ID ); ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;?php echo $catDetails-&gt;cat_name ?&gt;&raquo;</a>&lt;/h3&gt;</p> <p> &lt;?php<br /> $count = 0;<br /> while (have_posts()) {</p> <p> the_post();</p> <p> if( $count == 0 ) { ?&gt;</p> <p> &lt;div class="clearfloat"&gt;</p> <p> &lt;h4&gt;<a>" rel="bookmark"&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;</a><br /> &lt;span class="commentcount"&gt;(&lt;?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%'); ?&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;<br /> &lt;?php $values = get_post_custom_values("Image");<br /> if (isset($values[0])) {<br /> ?&gt;<br /> <a>" rel="bookmark"&gt;&lt;img src="&lt;?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?&gt;/scripts/timthumb.php?src=/&lt;?php<br /> $values = get_post_custom_values("Image"); echo $values[0]; ?&gt;&amp;w=70&amp;h=70&amp;zc=1" alt="&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;" /&gt;</a><br /> &lt;?php } ?&gt;</p> <p> &lt;?php the_excerpt(); ?&gt;</p> <p> &lt;/div&gt;</p> <p> &lt;ul class="headlines"&gt;</p> <p> &lt;?php<br /> } else {<br /> ?&gt;</p> <li><a>" rel="bookmark"&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;</a> </li> <p> &lt;?php<br /> }<br /> ?&gt;</p> <p> &lt;?php</p> <p> $count ++;<br /> }</p> <p> if( $count &gt; 0 ) { echo ""; }<br /> ?&gt;</p> <p> &lt;/div&gt;</p> <p>&lt;?php } ?&gt;</p> <p>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--END CONTENT--&gt; </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic.php?id=219#post-886 Thu, 15 May 2008 15:12:05 +0000 Patrick 886@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>Wordpress 2.51, Mimbo pro 1.3, Under Design/Mimbo pro Options/Category Summaries: has no navigation arrows to select multiple categories to display.

If you're happy with the php then you will just need to make sure to specify a different category.

Think the mainproblem is that the carouselcontent is controlled through the mimbo pro options tab were you need to define the category to display.<br /> The carousel is a great way to display all our photoassignments but want to add another one below that for video. Anyone any thoughts? </p>
