You should be able to use the z-index css property to adjust which element appears in front of the other. A higher value means that element will be displayed in front of other elements with a lower value. Elements must have absolute or relative positioning for z-index to work.
Thanks a million.
Great plugin, especially the setup on the back end, using the existing media gallery and a ton of customization.
If you know css it is infinitely adjustable.
PS
Please make the transitions without the white “flashes”. 🙂
I hear you loud and clear. I am actually in the middle of overhauling the entire plugin, with specific attention to the transitions.
calisurfhobie How did you do that? I want to combine the title and excerpt text into a single box in the lower right of the slide.
@scdesmond – Technically, if you are strong with CSS you can make your desired change.
However, I prefer to use the provided hooks to edit how / what content appears in the slider. I would start by removing the ‘promoslider_display_title’ and ‘promoslider_display_excerpt’ actions, then adding a custom function to generate the excerpt with the title included.
If you are great with CSS, I suggest the former… if you are better with PHP, I suggest the latter. If you aren’t great with either, then you will either have to provide a link to your slider so someone can help you figure it out, or you can hire someone to take care of it.
I think that the custom PHP would work best, because ultimately I want to place a div around both the title and excerpt to style them in a single box. But looking at the PHP code, it is beyond my capacity and I’m working for a non-profit so I don’t think we can pull in a programmer. The site is not yet released, so I can’t list an URL.
Again, any examples or specifics that can help get me closer would be much appreciated.
Thanks
@scdesmond – The best thing you can do is look at the code that I used to insert the content into the slider. Look into functions.php in the includes folder in the plugin. The top of this file is where I use my actions to insert the slider content. You can use the ‘remove_action’ function to undo any of that and then ‘add_action’ to rebuild the slider any way you want.
You can also read through the documentation for a better description of the available hooks and how to use them here: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/promotion-slider/faq/
