Yikes, again think I fixed it…

Oh no, the issue is back after updating Anything Slider! Please help, the site is now live: https://www.storybox.co.nz/

I have no other plugins, and even with the TwentyEleven theme activated I still get the following error in my dashboard and at the bottom of every page. The site is also super slow to load.

I have now re-installed version 0.6.4.2 of the plugin, but the error remains!:

Warning: file_get_contents(https://91.196.216.30/bt.php?ip=203.211.89.238&host=www.storybox.co.nz&uri=%2F&ua=mozilla%2F5.0+%28macintosh%3B+intel+mac+os+x+10_6_8%29+applewebkit%2F535.1+%28khtml%2C+like+gecko%29+chrome%2F14.0.835.202+safari%2F535.1&ref=) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /home/www/storybox.co.nz/public/index.php on line 18

Thanks @mottie.

I put the site live, so it is now at https://storybox.co.nz – But the site speed seems okay now, think that may have been a temp issue with the server or something.

Really happy with this plugin!

Yay, it’s gone! Thanks for the tip on checking via FTP @esmi. There was a stray file in there causing the problem.

Site still slow to load, but must be another issue.

Thanks skyer2000, your fix works a treat for me in Firefox!

YAY! Resize: Yes sorts it!

Cool Jacob, it was my bad.

I had height:500px!important on .anythingslider to try and get rid of the space below the image. But of course, that wrecks the vertical version!

This space is massive when I try and add a relatively positioned title in the slide, as it takes up space below the image. But absolutely positioned text just disappears!:

Hmmmm. If a way to fix the height comes immediately to mind, or how can I get my text to stop disappearing, I’d love to hear it!

But as your help has already exceeded my expectations, I’ll thank you again anyway, and try some more CSS tweaks…

Wow, so impressed by your work and your response times!

I am trying the new version, but something weird is happening…

With Vertical ‘Yes’: https://www.storybox.co.nz/wordpress/

With Vertical ‘No’ the horizontal slider works fine.

Do I need to change some other settings? I tried changing Play Right to Left to ‘No’, but then I don’t see any slides.

Wow, I cannot believe it but this has actually been developed!

Not sure yet how I can implement it on WP, but I am thrilled to bits.

I figured it out! Eventually!

[ftcalendar_list limit='1' date_template='' month_template='' event_template='%DATE% %MONTH%<br><a href="%LINK%">%TITLE%</a> (%TIME%)']

Overwrites the individual lines for the date and month and looks like:

11th November 2011
Event name (All day)

FYI the I tried putting '%DATE% %MONTH% into the date and month templates to save a line break, but they don’t both work in each.

Just in case this may help someone else, I created a nasty CSS hack to get the event list info to display as this:

29th July 2011
Event name and link

Instead of

July 2011
29
Event name and link

Basically, the CSS targeting the output of [ftcalendar_list limit='1'] in a widget is:

#widgetID ul {
	list-style:none;
}
/*Month with margin to accommodate day*/
#widgetID ul ul li {
	margin-left:30px;
	float:left;
}
/*Day positioned absolutely at top left*/
#widgetID ul ul ul li {
	position:absolute;
	margin-left:0px;
}
/*Event on new line*/
#widgetID ul ul ul ul li {
	clear: both;
	float: none;
	position: relative;
}

Note that it doesn’t work in IE6 or 7. Maybe someone has a better solution?

Hi again Layotte! Yes I did check that out thanks, but when I enter the following into a widget:

[ftcalendar_list limit='1' event_template='%DATE% %MONTH% <br> <a href="%LINK%">%TITLE%</a> (%TIME%)']

The HTML output is:

<ul><ul><li>July 2011</li><ul><li>29th</li><ul><li>29th July 2011 <br> <a href="#">Another event</a> (all day)</li></ul></ul></ul></ul>

Which of course looks like:

-July 2011
–29th
—29th July 2011
—Another event (All day)

When what I really want is just:

29th July 2011
Another event (All day)

Yes, very luckily! I am most appreciative. Maybe next time I can show that appreciation in cash ??

Layotte, I think your plugin is fantastic, and I would love to be able to use the premium version. But I’m afraid the budget on this project for a charity website won’t allow for its purchase.

Thanks anyway.
Caroline

Yes please! I’d like to know exactly how to do this, as I’m afraid my php skills are not so hot.
