Hi all,

I’m trying to make title and excerpt optional when slider displays. Not for all slides just for selected.

The first part at admin section is ready. I’ve modified theme-options.php and added a checkbox “Display title & excerpt” for every featured slider and store the result value in a variable attitude_theme_options[featured_post_slider_title][i]. This works fine!

However I’m unable to find where to modify the slider behaviour. I edit library/structure/header-extensions.php file (function attitude_featured_post_slider()) with no success. No matter what I do (even comment it all), slider behaviour is allways the same.

Maybe there is other place where slider behaviour is defined?

if ( ! function_exists( 'attitude_featured_post_slider' ) ) :
/**
 * display featured post slider
 *
 * @uses set_transient and delete_transient
 */
function attitude_featured_post_slider() {	
	global $post;
		
	global $attitude_theme_options_settings;
   $options = $attitude_theme_options_settings;
	
	$attitude_featured_post_slider = '';
	if( ( !$attitude_featured_post_slider = get_transient( 'attitude_featured_post_slider' ) ) && !empty( $options[ 'featured_post_slider' ] ) ) {

		if( 'wide-layout' == $options[ 'site_layout' ] ) {
			$slider_size = 'slider-wide';
		}
		else {
			$slider_size = 'slider-narrow';
		}
		
		$attitude_featured_post_slider .= '
		<section class="featured-slider"><div class="slider-cycle">';
			$get_featured_posts = new WP_Query( array(
				'posts_per_page' 			=> $options[ 'slider_quantity' ],
				'post_type'					=> array( 'post', 'page' ),
				'post__in'		 			=> $options[ 'featured_post_slider' ],
				'orderby' 		 			=> 'post__in',
				'ignore_sticky_posts' 	=> 1 						// ignore sticky posts
			));
			$i=0; while ( $get_featured_posts->have_posts()) : $get_featured_posts->the_post(); $i++;
				$title_attribute = apply_filters( 'the_title', get_the_title( $post->ID ) );
				$excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
				if ( 1 == $i ) { $classes = "slides displayblock"; } else { $classes = "slides displaynone"; }
				$attitude_featured_post_slider .= '
				<div class="'.$classes.'">';
						if( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
	
							$attitude_featured_post_slider .= '<figure><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="'.the_title('','',false).'">';
	
							$attitude_featured_post_slider .= get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, $slider_size, array( 'title' => esc_attr( $title_attribute ), 'alt' => esc_attr( $title_attribute ), 'class'	=> 'pngfix' ) ).'</a></figure>';
						}
                        /** patch begins **/
						//if( $title_attribute != '' || $excerpt !='' ) {
						<strong>if( ($options[ 'featured_post_slider_title' ][$i]==1) && ($title_attribute != '' || $excerpt !='' )) {</strong>
						$attitude_featured_post_slider .= '

							if( $title_attribute !='' ) {
									$attitude_featured_post_slider .= '<div class="featured-title"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="'.the_title('','',false).'">'. get_the_title() . '</a></div><!-- .featured-title -->';
							}
							if( $excerpt !='' ) {								
								$attitude_featured_post_slider .= '<div class="featured-content">'.$excerpt.'</div><!-- .featured-content -->';
							}
						$attitude_featured_post_slider .= '
							</article><!-- .featured-text -->';
						}
                        
                        /** patch ends **/
				$attitude_featured_post_slider .= '
				</div><!-- .slides -->';
			endwhile; wp_reset_query();
		$attitude_featured_post_slider .= '</div>				
		<nav id="controllers" class="clearfix">
		</nav><!-- #controllers --></section><!-- .featured-slider -->';
			
	set_transient( 'attitude_featured_post_slider', $attitude_featured_post_slider, 86940 );
	}
	echo $attitude_featured_post_slider;	
}

Don’t ask me why but now it works! You can show a sample at http://www.despensasolidaria.org

(Maybe I had some kind of cache issue)

These are the changes I’ve made

Files edited
library/admin/theme-options.php
library/structure/header-extensions.php

library/admin/theme-options.php

Inmediately after this (line 594 aprox)
<a href="<?php bloginfo ( 'url' );?>/wp-admin/post.php?post=<?php if( array_key_exists ( 'featured_post_slider', $options ) && array_key_exists ( $i, $options[ 'featured_post_slider' ] ) ) echo absint( $options[ 'featured_post_slider' ][ $i ] ); ?>&action=edit" class="button" title="<?php esc_attr_e('Click Here To Edit'); ?>" target="_blank"><?php _e( 'Click Here To Edit', 'attitude' ); ?></a>

add this

    <!-- patch begins -->
    <input type="checkbox" name="attitude_theme_options[featured_post_slider_title][<?php echo absint( $i ); ?>]" value="1" <?php if( array_key_exists( 'featured_post_slider_title', $options ) && array_key_exists( $i, $options[ 'featured_post_slider_title' ] ) ) checked( '1', $options['featured_post_slider_title'][$i] ); ?>/> <?php _e( 'Display post title', 'attitude' ); ?>
    <!-- patch ends -->

Also substitute this (line 793 aprox)

    if ( isset( $input[ 'featured_post_slider' ] ) ) {
		$input_validated[ 'featured_post_slider' ] = array();
	}   
    
	if( isset( $input[ 'slider_quantity' ] ) )   
	for ( $i = 1; $i <= $input [ 'slider_quantity' ]; $i++ ) {
		if ( intval( $input[ 'featured_post_slider' ][ $i ] ) ) {
			$input_validated[ 'featured_post_slider' ][ $i ] = absint($input[ 'featured_post_slider' ][ $i ] );
		}
	}

With this

	if ( isset( $input[ 'featured_post_slider' ] ) ) {
		$input_validated[ 'featured_post_slider' ] = array();
	}   
    /** patch begin **/
	if ( isset( $input[ 'featured_post_slider_title' ] ) ) {
		$input_validated[ 'featured_post_slider_title' ] = array();
	}   
    /** patch end **/

	if( isset( $input[ 'slider_quantity' ] ) )   
	for ( $i = 1; $i <= $input [ 'slider_quantity' ]; $i++ ) {
		if ( intval( $input[ 'featured_post_slider' ][ $i ] ) ) {
			$input_validated[ 'featured_post_slider' ][ $i ] = absint($input[ 'featured_post_slider' ][ $i ] );
		}
        /** patch begin **/
		if ( intval( $input[ 'featured_post_slider_title' ][ $i ] ) ) {
			$input_validated[ 'featured_post_slider_title' ][ $i ] = absint($input[ 'featured_post_slider_title' ][ $i ] );
		}
        /** patch end **/
	}

library/structure/header-extensions.php

Substitute this line (450 aprox)
if( $title_attribute != '' || $excerpt !='' ) {

With this one
if( ($options[ 'featured_post_slider_title' ][$i]==1) && ($title_attribute != '' || $excerpt !='' )) {

I’d like to insert it into a child theme like other mods I’ve done but I’m not sure how to do it.
