I use The Local theme and a lot of my posts include people and the cropping from the middle is not helpful. Also, can TimThumb be set to maintain aspect ratio?

These major tabs would have general RSS aggreagtion stories about the conference in general on them.</p> <p>Then, I would like each of these major tabs to have a drop down listing each team in the conference as a separate sub-category such that, when clicked, will launch a RSS aggregation page of news about that school's sports teams.</p> <p>Thanks for your time and assistance in this matter!

Some of the feed requests take longer and the page doesn't load until the last request is completed.</p> <p>Comparing to your demo the load time is significantly longer. My host MediaTemple is suggesting it is not a host issue and recommends:</p> <p>"Set up the feeds to be loaded based on a cron. You can have this run every 5 minutes to be up-to-date. That way it does not make external requests for every page load, when it doesn't need to be instantly dynamic."</p> <p>BTW: Cache timeout is set to 30 minutes.</p> <p>Here's my site for reference: <a href="http://www.itsplat.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.itsplat.com/</a></p> <p>Your guidance on this is appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic/ie7-alignment-issues-with-category-pages#post-5713 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:04:49 +0000 davethackeray 5713@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>Hey there!</p> <p>Can you help me address three issues with Mimbo Pro relating to the alignment of content in IE7:</p> <p>1. On the main story at the top of the category page, text butts up to the image on the left. See example here: </p> <p><a href="http://www.thewebeditor.com/category/fractional/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thewebeditor.com/category/fractional/</a></p> <p>2. The RSS button sits outside of main story panel - and needs to go inside. Is there a way of doing this?<br /> 3. There's no obvious clickable link to full posts from the secondary stories in category pages. How do I add a 'full story' box including link to the bottom of each of the secondary stories (Fractional Summit in the US, etc). The reason I removed this from the lead story on each category page is because in IE6, on the home page, the Lead Story box and link ended up sitting IN FRONT of the drop-down nav elements; I couldn't figure a way of positioning this box anywhere else but to the right of the container, which led it to sit only halfway across the lead story on each category page.</p> <p>Guidance here would be much appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks so much for your help! </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic/carousel-in-a-different-page-than-home#post-5707 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:29:49 +0000 patrickc 5707@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>Is it possible to place the carousel in a different page than the home page, or, have two different carousels; on one home and one on a products page?</p> <p>Thanks in advance. </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic/compatibility-with-wordpress-mu#post-5711 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:48:03 +0000 mikee 5711@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>Has anyone had any success/failure installing this theme on Wordpress MU?</p> <p>Any feedback is much appreciated.

These posts will be like daily mini-posts or quick tips and I do not want them cluttering up the home page. I see in wordpress documentation that I can exclude posts from a category:<br /> <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Exclude_Posts_From_Some_Category" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Exclude_Posts_From_Some_Category</a></p> <p>The problem I frequently run into is I do not yet understand how and where the many loops for elemental live, and what the best practices are for tweaking them. </p> <p>1.Could you please spare me hours of trial and error and point me in the right direction of exactly which section of code to edit so I can exlcude posts from a specific category from the main page. I've searched for about 30min then thought I should post here.</p> <p>2. Could you provide here or point me to a quick and easy to understand primer on the location and functionality of loops in the Elemental template and how they should be edited, especially in regards to child themes.<br /> With some quick guidance I should be able to figure out my question to #1 and many other questions in the future.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic/how-do-i-translate-the-site-to-be-bilingual-in-spanish#post-5700 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:55:34 +0000 Dorf 5700@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>Can someone point me to a tutorial on translating the site. On the main support page there is a list of language files but no "how-to" instructions or link. I've searched the site and forum, again no "how-to" tutorial is recommended. In both the es_ES.mo and es_ES.po files I don't see any comments explaining what to do, nor do I see any "readme.txt" file on the "lang" folderof the theme. </p> <p>I don't know if this is something that is obvious and I am a total idiot, regardless I would love a link for translation instructions, and would suggest putting a link on the support page with the translation listings for others. </p> <p>Thanks, I love the theme and appreciate your help. </p>
