Soliloquy slider

[Loudness]

Hi !  Let's say I want to add the soliloquy slider to the streamline theme right after the "header" section (between the header & menu.  How can I do that ?   Got this code from soliloquy :

function soliloquy_slider_header_home() {
if (is_home()) {
    echo do_shortcode('[soliloquy id="88"]');
   }
};
add_action('genesis_header', 'soliloquy_slider_header_home');

But where I'm supposed to paste this code ? there is no header.php file in the child theme folder ? Sorry I'm a newb...

Or is there a simple way to do it ? By a widget or something ? I want the slider to take the full width

Thanks

correction : I want the slider between the menu & main content section.

Copy this code from the view raw link and paste the code at the end of your child themes functions.php file using a text editor like Notepad++.

Here's the code for after the header if you want to change position.

You'll need to replace the 88 with the i.d for your slider which is generated after you add a new slider.

The width for your slider images should be set to 960px

The code includes a conditional tag so the slider will only display on the home page.

Hi

for any reasons, this code add the slider on all the pages ? Any idea why ?

[Brad Dalton]

Are you using a static page as your home page?

If so, change the conditional tag from:

if (is_home()) {

To

if (is_front_page() ) {

Hi Brad

thanks for all your help. The slider is on all the page, except the home page... ( I want the opposite) here's the code I'm using :

function soliloquy_slider_header_home() {
if (is_front_page() ) {
echo do_shortcode('[soliloquy id="4402"]');
}
};
/**
* @author Brad Dalton - WP Sites
*
* @example http://wp.me/p1lTu0-9Th
*/
add_action('genesis_header', 'soliloquy_slider_header_home');

/** Add soliloquy after header Genesis */
function wpsitesdotnet_soliloquy_slider_header() {

if ( function_exists( 'soliloquy_slider' ) ) soliloquy_slider( '4402' );

};
/**
* @author Brad Dalton - WP Sites
*
* @tutorial http://wp.me/p1lTu0-9Th
*/
add_action('genesis_after_header', 'wpsitesdotnet_soliloquy_slider_header');

/** Change header height */
add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array( 'width' => 960, 'height' => 180 ) );

Resumé : ! want the soliloquy slider on the home page only, after the header, & slider height must be 180px. What is wrong in the code ?

Please link to your site.

Simple change the hook from:

add_action('genesis_header', 'soliloquy_slider_header_home');

To

add_action('genesis_after_header', 'soliloquy_slider_header_home');

You may also need the conditional tag from:

if (is_front_page() ) {

To

if (is_home() ) {

Ok after all these change I was able to have the slider only on the homepage, but position of the slider is wrong. I want it to be between the menu & the main content.

see : http://www.graphical-media.com/abat2013 (beta site)

Code I'm using :`/** Change header height */
add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array( 'width' => 960, 'height' => 180 ) );

// ADD SOLILOQUY SLIDER**//
function soliloquy_slider_header_home() {
if (is_front_page() ) {
echo do_shortcode('[soliloquy id="4402"]');
}
};
add_action('genesis_header', 'soliloquy_slider_header_home');

function wpsitesdotnet_soliloquy_slider_header() {if ( function_exists( 'soliloquy_slider' ) ) soliloquy_slider( '4402' );};`

Any idea how to solve that ?

Simple change the hook from

genesis_header

to another.
