Looking to Xenporta 2 Random Media Block

[whitetrash]

Hoping to get help on getting a Xenporta 2 Random Media Block like it is set up here on xenforo:
With two images side by side, media titles and Left/Right scan arrows. Looks great.
Anyone have any luck with it?

Thanks much!!!

Works for XenPorta, I would imagine it would work for XenPorta 2. I don't have it so can't verify.

THanks!!!

Martok, I am still trying to figure this out.
I follow your interactions for both xp2 and widget framework and the results are the exact same~
I get the random side by side
but
The header isn't wide enough
and there are no left or right scroll arrow!!!
Thanks for help.

Happy New Year.

Looks like a style issue or possibly with XenPorta 2.

Does include left/right scroll arrows?

 

[3rd AnGle]

it does..

It's worth noting that the left/right arrows are Font Awesome icons. If you have Font Awesome switched off then they won't appear. If your style already includes Font Awesome, and you haven't switched it off, then there's likely a clash between two simultaneous calls of Font Awesome so in that case you'd likely need to turn it off in the Gallery Options.

Chris,
Thanks. Working!!!
Now I just need to learn how to widen the header to match the rest.

Martok,
Fine sir, what would sidebar block setting be to make it look like mine?
Or where would I obtain that info?
<xen:set var="$isSidebarBlock">1</xen:set> // Sets the styling so it will look like a sidebar block
Thanks a lot!!!

 

[Chris D]

To be honest, you would probably be best getting support for the styling specific stuff from the author of the style.

 

[whitetrash]

True, just trying to learn what the code does and get info for my own understanding.

It's not a style issue, the block is simply loading sectionMain there instead of secondaryContent:

{xen:if '{$isSidebarBlock}', ' secondaryContent', ' sectionMain'}

So it's not treating it like a sidebarblock.

Thanks for looking Russ, tried a few different settings to no avail.

So it's not treating it like a sidebarblock.

It is hard coded option.
Widgets can now be fully customized from CP.

Boban,

Thanks, got it working on Xenporta 2, Jaxel advised to simply remove secondary content.

Still working on widget framework.

Is there a way to make this recent instead of random? For xenporta 2?
