CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid] 2.17.0

[Amaury]

Hah - I hope you are kidding but you are the best!

He isn't. It's 2:33 AM tomorrow for him.

Damn, rules at xenforo.com should change so we could rate 10 stars instead of 5 for this one.

/Runs off to buy another license, just because.

I don't know why, but the slider is not visible in my portal, same result using the default style, all I can see is a big blank block.

 

[Paul B]

Are you using a RTL language?

If so, add this to the end of the cta_featuredthreads_slider.css template:

<xen:if is="{$pageIsRtl}">
.ctaFtSliderWrapper
{
    rtl-raw.direction: ltr;
}

.ctaFtSliderFooter
{
    rtl-raw.direction: rtl;
    rtl-raw.text-align: right;
}
</xen:if>

I was recently informed that the slider is not compatible with RTL, so that is a workaround.

What is the best strategy if you currently have xenforo running off of http://xenforo.com/community/

But you want http://xenforo.com/ to show the contents of http://xenforo.com/community/threads/featured

Is there a way to do this without messing up the existing sitemap of all the threads?

Thanks!

 

[Paul B]

You can't have the landing/home page outside the directory where XenForo is installed.

You would need to move the installation to the root.

Development of 2.11 has been under way for a few days now.

The play/pause controls have been moved to the bottom right:



This is to avoid the pager controls overlapping and has therefore allowed me to increased the max slider entries to 50.




The play/pause and pager controls are now hidden at the narrow responsive width.

In addition, the left/right controls now change position at narrower widths, so they remain vertically centred.




A new Style Property to fade the transition has been added.



You can see it in action my own site: http://cliptheapex.com/


A new Style Property has also been added for the background images, providing more control.




More to come...

A new Style Property to fade the transition has been added.

Great! Much better. Will use it.

 

[Paul B]

If you want to use it now, edit the cta_featuredthreads_slider template and change this:

mode: <xen:if is="@ctaFtSliderOptionTransition">'horizontal'<xen:else />'vertical'</xen:if>,

To this:

mode: 'fade',

The best. Works like a charm. Looks less agressive to me.

Btw, with new upgrade is this going to be overwritten? I won't have to worry about that edit? Yes, still a noob

 

[Paul B]

You will just need to revert the template and enable the Style Property.

Oh, I thought it will show in outdated templates. When it shows there?

 

[Paul B]

Yes, it will.
Then you just revert it.

I set automatic featuring and to show only latest featured threads on new/recent posts, but they don't show.

Is this "latest" option only for manually featured threads?

 

[Paul B]

The two options are not related.

Checking the latest featured thread will show the last thread to be featured, whether manually or automatically.

I have just tested it and it works as expected.

 

[BassMan]

Hm, it does not work for me.

 

[BassMan]

Hm, it does not work for me.

Afh, need to set the automatic featuring to display globally. Sorry, so many functions so I can easily miss one. But I'm glad it has so many of them.

 

[Paul B]

No worries, glad you got it sorted.

There are indeed a lot of options and style properties.

 

[BassMan]

Btw, it shows only latest (one!) featured thread or possible to set it to show latest in certain period of time?

 

[Paul B]

Latest means latest.
