Look for one with mobile interface integration. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Smooth Slider] Embed on homepage – help](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-on-homepage-help/) * [Daniel Drake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danieldrake/) * (@danieldrake) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-on-homepage-help/#post-4318667) * It won’t show up automatically. Here are three ways of including it: * 1. In your template file, use one of the [template tags](http://guides.slidervilla.com/smooth-slider/template-tags/), like so: * `` * 2. Create a new [dynamic sidebar area](http://www.tastyplacement.com/add-sidebar-wordpress) and use the Smooth Slider widget. * 3. Use one of the [shortcodes](http://guides.slidervilla.com/smooth-slider/shortcodes/) with the [do_shortcode](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode) function. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Smooth Slider] integrated font theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrated-font-theme/) * [Daniel Drake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danieldrake/) * (@danieldrake) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrated-font-theme/#post-4332882) * It’s not easy, but possible. * First, create your own **skin** for Smooth Slider, as discussed here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-css-file-1?replies=2](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-css-file-1?replies=2) * Then, edit your skin’s **style.css** file and change the **font-family** values to the font you want. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Smooth Slider] "Add this post/page to Smooth slider" by Default](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-this-postpage-to-smooth-slider-by-default/) * [Daniel Drake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danieldrake/) * (@danieldrake) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-this-postpage-to-smooth-slider-by-default/#post-4346817) * In this file: * /wp-content/plugins/smooth-slider/smooth-slider.php * find this line: * ``` if(is_post_on_any_slider($post_id)) { $extra = 'checked="checked"'; } ``` * and remove the if-clause. The line should simply read: * `$extra = 'checked="checked"';` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Smooth Slider] Can't edit CSS file](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-css-file-1/) * [Daniel Drake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danieldrake/) * (@danieldrake) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-css-file-1/#post-4360684) * Marie, * Start by creating your own skin folder in: * /wp-content/plugins/smooth-slider/css/skins * The best way is to make a copy of the ‘sample’ folder already there, and naming it something like ‘marie’. * Then, in the Settings panel, find: * **Smooth Slider Styles to Use on Other than Post/Pages** * In the drop-down menu, change the value from ‘default’ to ‘marie’. (It should be in there.) * Now your slider will always follow that style.css file in ‘marie’. Note that it will also override style choices in your Settings panel. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Smooth Slider] Add date to smooth slider](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-date-to-smooth-slider/) * [Daniel Drake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danieldrake/) * (@danieldrake) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-date-to-smooth-slider/#post-3794750) * To add a date, you’ll need to edit this file: * /wp-content/plugins/smooth-slider/slider_versions/smooth_1.php * Find this section: * ``` foreach($posts as $post) { $post_id = $post->ID; ``` * Directly below it, add: * `$post_date = $post->post_date;` * Find this section: * ``` if($permalink!='') { $html .= '

'.$post_title.'

'.$slider_excerpt.' ``` * Using HTML and the $post_date variable, add the date somewhere within that code. I added mine after the tag and before the tag. * There’s some similar code in the following ‘else’ statement. Consider adding your date there too. * If you want to add the author, do a similar thing using $post->post_author. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Post type template, or is_single('ai1ec-event')](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-type-template-or-is_singleai1ec-event/) * Thread Starter [Daniel Drake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danieldrake/) * (@danieldrake) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-type-template-or-is_singleai1ec-event/#post-3574650) * single-ai1ec_event.php worked like a charm.
