[Plugin: Meteor Slides] Add slideshow in header Twenty Ten

Hi, check out this video, it will show you how to do that.

thank you!

No problem!

Hi,

I now use 2010 Weaver. Is it still possible to replace the standard header image with a slideshow? If yes, how do I do that?

Yes you can do that. It is much easier than with with Twenty Ten actually, check out this post for more info.

@jleuze
I checked out your plugin which is great!
Wondering if there is a way to have the banner slideshow on the homepage ( latest posts ) and keep the stock header image functionality for post pages ( single )
Thanks,

Hi Don, try taking this bit of code from the header:

<?php
					// Check if this is a post or page, if it has a thumbnail, and if it's a big one
					if ( is_singular() && current_theme_supports( 'post-thumbnails' ) &&
							has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) &&
							( /* $src, $width, $height */ $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'post-thumbnail' ) ) &&
							$image[1] >= HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH ) :
						// Houston, we have a new header image!
						echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID );
					elseif ( get_header_image() ) : ?>
						<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>" height="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>" alt="" />
					<?php endif; ?>

And replacing it with this:

<?php if ( is_front_page() ):

					if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow();

				else:

					// Check if this is a post or page, if it has a thumbnail, and if it's a big one
					if ( is_singular() && current_theme_supports( 'post-thumbnails' ) &&
							has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) &&
							( /* $src, $width, $height */ $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'post-thumbnail' ) ) &&
							$image[1] >= HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH ) :
						// Houston, we have a new header image!
						echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID );
					elseif ( get_header_image() ) : ?>
						<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>" height="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>" alt="" />
					<?php endif;

				endif; ?>

this is very timely, as this is exactly what I’m doing – but when I post that into my twentyten header, I get errors. Dreamweaver says there’s an error on line five where it just has “else:” – which also leads to an error on teh last “Endif” and also further down in the code at the end of the #access div.

And, sadly, I’m just not PHP-savvy enough to see how to fix it. Any thoughts?

Thanks for catching that, there was a typo in there, this should work correctly:

oops – you’ve been moderated!

caught the code from my email and it works like a charm – thanks so much.

Whatever, here’s the correction with ten lines of code…

<?php if ( is_front_page() ): if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow(); else:
// Check if this is a post or page, if it has a thumbnail, and if it's a big one
					if ( is_singular() && current_theme_supports( 'post-thumbnails' ) &&
							has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) &&
							( /* $src, $width, $height */ $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'post-thumbnail' ) ) &&
							$image[1] >= HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH ) :
						// Houston, we have a new header image!
						echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID );
					elseif ( get_header_image() ) : ?>
						<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>" height="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>" alt="" /> <?php endif; endif; ?>

Thanks heaps for this – I’ll be giving it a go as soon as I can.
Cheers,

No problem Don!

There was another little typo in there, try this:

<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow(); } } else {
// Check if this is a post or page, if it has a thumbnail, and if it's a big one
if ( is_singular() && current_theme_supports( 'post-thumbnails' ) &&
	has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) && ( /* $src, $width, $height */ $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'post-thumbnail' ) ) &&
	$image[1] >= HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH ) :
	// Houston, we have a new header image!
	echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID );
elseif ( get_header_image() ) : ?>
	<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>" height="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>" alt="" />
<?php endif; } ?>
