CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid] 2.17.0

Use a media query to hide them when the screen width drops below a certain value.

Uh, I'll do my best

That guide explains how to use media queries.

If I get a chance later I'll post the solution.

Thank you, Brogan. Let me try first. Want to learn

HIDE SLIDER CONTROLS ON MOBILE:

To hide all slider controls on mobile put this in extra.css:

@media (max-width:480px) {
.bx-controls {display: none;}
}

To hide direction (prev, next slide) controls put this in extra.css:

@media (max-width:480px) {
.bx-controls-direction {display: none;}
}

To hide pager controls (those dots on top) put this in extra.css:

@media (max-width:480px) {
.bx-pager {display: none;}
}

To hide play controls put this in extra.css:

@media (max-width:480px) {
.bx-controls-auto {display: none;}
}

Btw, does anyone else has slider controls on mobile always visible?

 

[Paul B]

The controls are permanently visible on touch devices as they don't have the concept of hover.

Oh, ok. Well, it's logical. Thanks.

I'm using slider as a "banner" to highlight most important threads that are always featured. I think it's good specially for new users. But it depends of your niche, of course.

Great update. I notice that updating a featured thread will not bring up the menu to select a graphic. So you have up un-feature and re-feature threads you want to put in the slider that have already been featured without it.

The slider does not appear on my homepage but on the other pages - is how it is supposed to function and is there something I need to do to get it on the homepage option?

 

[Paul B]

Updating does trigger the overlay.
Ensure you have no outdated templates.

The slider does appear on the page: http://cliptheapex.com/
Ensure you have set the SPs accordingly.

Don't feel to bad i was working on the wrong style for thirty minutes before i figured out why none of my setting were taking effect. Dooh!!

 

[Paul B]

Try writing PHP for several hours on the wrong installation and wondering why your new code isn't working

Nice features in the new release!

Ok - cta_featuredthreads_featured template is out of date and auto merging will not fix it. What should I do here? Sorry, I don't understand templates well.

 

[Paul B]

If it won't auto merge, you will need to make a note of your customisations, revert it, then reapply your customisations.

I dont recall ever making any. I will just revert and see what happens I guess.

 

[DaiAku]

Haha, ok that fixed it. I remembered the template change that I made now and would have removed it anyway. Thanks!

Love it - great update - thanks @Brogan

Nice one.

Make sure you copy the two images from the default style directory to your custom style directory.
They are currently missing.

Cool.

Btw, my slider loads a second after my page loads. Why is that so? I can see on others site that it is loading with site.
