Agent Press 1.0 to 1.01 Upgrade Problem

[futurewebboss]

Did an upgrade from Agent Press 1 to 1.01 that integrates the new slider and ended up with an alignment issue. The slider is center aligned. Can anyone help? Please? Desperate in New Mexico

http://ginaspropertymanagement.com is the site.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

Without knowing exactly what it is that you want it to do, you can make it not be centered by adding:
#genesis-slider {
margin: 0;
}
to your style.css. Currently the margin is set to '0 auto' so that's what is making it center. Adding this code pushes it to the left of that block. Is that what you're looking for? Or?

Thank you robin for your reply. I added the css but no joy. Here's a screenshot of what it should look like,

Change it to this:
#genesis-slider {
margin: 0 !important;
float: right;
}
However, I think the slider used to be inside the content-sidebar area and I don't think it is now, so I'm going to guess that you will need to also do some digging into your home.php to get it rearranged (I think just tweaking the CSS will move the slider but not bring the sidebar up alongside it).

Thank you Robin. It did as you predicted. Are you suggesting that I moved the slider code (below)

/** Add the slider on the homepage above the content area */
add_action('genesis_after_header', 'agentpress_include_slider');
function agentpress_include_slider() {
if(is_front_page())
dynamic_sidebar( 'slider' );
}

to a different place in the functions.php?

[Robin]

Yes, I think that is what you want. I would try changing the genesis_after_header to genesis_before_content (from the hook reference page) so it would be:
/** Add the slider on the homepage above the content area */
add_action(‘genesis_before_content’, ‘agentpress_include_slider’);
function agentpress_include_slider() {
if(is_front_page())
dynamic_sidebar( ‘slider’ );
}
And theoretically with it going in the correct place you wouldn't actually need the CSS I told you to do. YMMV on this one because my PHP wobbles. Definitely have a backup of your functions.php before you muck around with it. Good luck!

That completely removed the slider,

I'm not sure what to do next, then--like I said, my code wobbles. I've put out a call for backup so hopefully someone smarter than me will chime in. Sorry!

Thank you Robin for your time and your help.

I'll be standing by.

Hi Dan,
Robin's on the right track that you want it to be back in the content-sidebar area. Instead of genesis_before_content, you could try genesis_before_loop.

Here's a good visual representation of Genesis hooks, just for reference: http://genesistutorials.com/visual-hook-guide/

If that doesn't work, I'd suggest starting back at square one (set home.php back to the way it was) and let me know so I can see it in it's native state. 🙂

Cheers,
Carrie

Hi Carrie,

Changed to genesis_before_loop and still no slider.

 

[futurewebboss]

Are you suggesting that I upload the agent press 1.0 functions.php when you say return to the native state?

[cdils]

I'm seeing a slider on http://ginaspropertymanagement.com/ right now. Is your code back to "orginal"?

Yes the slider is back. caching issue, but still not placed properly.

[futurewebboss]

This is what I currently have,

/** Add the slider on the homepage above the content area */
add_action('genesis_before_loop', 'agentpress_include_slider');
function agentpress_include_slider() {
if(is_front_page())
dynamic_sidebar( 'slider' );
}

Oh goodness, there is some weirdness going on in there with the home page structure. You are running the old version of AgentPress and my usual troubleshooting methods are falling short.

Is there a reason you don't want to upgrade to 2.0? There will be a little work re-styling, but I think it'd be worth it.

I can totally relate to that!

I'd go back to the client and explain that if they want to take advantage of newer functionality and bells/whistles, they need to invest in an upgrade. The alternative is to throw money out trying to fix up the older version. If it's not in their budget now, that's understandable, but that's their decision to make if they want it or not. Don't spin your wheels for free. 🙂
