Fair enough 🙂
Where can I download the 1.9 genesis and its sample theme? I'm trying to teach myself Genesis theme development and it's confusing trying to convert the various tutorials to 2.0 specs.
Cool. Thanks a lot. Can't believe I didn't spot that padding-right entry. Changing it to about 10px seems about right.
Cheers
Hi
Thanks but sadly that doesn't work.
I've found the css for it and I can remove the indicators or reduce them to 0px and this works except it still leaves the space where they were thus making the spacing of the nav bar uneven.
When you create a menu with nested pages you get a little triangle to the right of the menu item like: "Services >" - to let people know that if they hover over this item, a drop down will appear so they can select the pages.
This is called the sub menu indicator in the CSS code.
Don't worry I've worked out my mistake. I needed to put the phone number text widget before the nav bar's widget. Then  the float worked fine.
Have you looked at the Types and Views combination from http://wp-types.com/? Seems very well done.
Hi Brad
I'm doing a recruitment website so might be nice to show say 3 posts in a row in a nice format with those posts being Jobs - I'll use custom post types for those.
Thanks for you help so far mate.
The columns thing is very straight forward for static content, which is great. Is it possible to though to use it to produce 3 columns with post data in them?
OK I think I'm starting to get my head around this now. So would I be correct in thinking that a quick and dirty way of producing pages with a reasonable level of widgetisation would be to copy the home.php file to a create a new template and then use Widget Logic to filter the widgets?
I'll start messing with that code and see what happens.
I tried adding widgets to the widget areas but they only appear on the home page in that theme. Using Widget Logic didn't change this. Is this because in the Executive theme these widget areas are called things like Home Top and therefore only work on the home page? In that case do I need to create custom widget areas to do this or am I doing something wrong?
OK thanks a lot mate.
When you say you've written about it - does that mean I can find the relevant info on your blog?
Hi Brad. Thanks for your reply
1. So what you're saying is, use the Widgets page to specific all widgets for all pages and then "filter" them in or out using that plugin?
2. It might something as simple as only displaying posts of a certain category but it might also be more complex: I'm developing a recruitment site and so need to be able to add and display Jobs. I've used the Types plugin to create a custom post type "Jobs" complete with custom fields "Salary" and "Location". So I'd like a page to display only these Job type posts and I'd like to be able to say whether just to show the post title + salary + location or an excerpt or the whole post depending on where I display it.
3. OK so is that common to all Genesis child themes?
Cheers
Neil
