Hi Merv,

I am using EPL v2.2.4

Thank you for launching the new Sliders extension. I was days away from choosing a 3rd party option, so nice timing.

I do however have a bug to report…

Under the ‘Single’ tab it says to leave the ‘Slider Height’ blank to ensure the height of the featured image is set to auto. However, in doing this, my featured images are being forced to a height of 500px, subsequently cropping the images. Please Note: I have not set any height via html/css.

Also… I cannot get the slider function working on my Archive Listings.

Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

cheers,
Adam

Thanks Adam, can you provide your site URL so we can improve the extension when used with various themes. Also can you attach a screen shot of the slider settings or provide your WordPress admin login details. Cheers and thanks for your purchase.

Great looking site!

We are adding an image order ability to the Sliders extension.

Can you provide FTP and WordPress login details so we can diagnose the Archive page, settings look right, perhaps the archive template is not using the template hook in your version.

Archive Template was updated in Easy Property Listings 2.2

Check your custom template file in your theme loop-listing-blog-default.php

Previous Image Loading
```
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
	<div class="property-box property-box-left property-featured-image-wrapper">
		<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
			<div class="epl-blog-image">
				<div class="epl-stickers-wrapper">
					<?php echo epl_get_price_sticker(); ?>
				</div>
				<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'epl-image-medium-crop', array( 'class' => 'teaser-left-thumb' ) ); ?>
			</div>
		</a>
		
		<?php do_action('epl_property_inspection_times'); ?>
	 </div>
<?php endif; ?>
```
New Image Loading hook
```
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
	<div class="property-box property-box-left property-featured-image-wrapper">
		<?php do_action('epl_property_archive_featured_image'); ?>
		
		<?php do_action('epl_property_inspection_times'); ?>
	</div>
<?php endif; ?>
```

Hi Merv,

Yep you’re right. Needed to update the file with the new hook. The slider is now working on the Archive pages.

So regarding the forced height of 500px on the large slide image…
Is it possible to override this so the height is ‘auto’ instead? I have set it to auto in the back but the change is not reflected in the front.

cheers,
Adam

There is no auto height for the slider, its best to set a height as this will be the crop of the image (default is 500px)

just increase/decrease until the crop is correct. If auto and you have portraite images it can look really messy vs a forced crop

Hi Merv,

In the Slider’s settings, it says to leave the field for height empty to enable auto-height (see screenshot).

I have entered height values and it seems to scale the image rather than crop it.

cheers,
Adam

Auto height will scale to your container div. Best results are to set the final slider dimensions. We are working on additional improvements to the slider.

Hi Merv,

I enabled the slider and I get a blank screen but a console error that points to the jssor js slider.
Im using the newest epl and the content listing single.php

<?php do_action( ‘epl_property_featured_image’ ); ?>
<?php do_action( ‘epl_buttons_single_property’ ); ?>

Any ideas?

Hi Oliver, do you have a URL we can look at and log into to take a look?

Hi Merv,

That’s great news!

Do I need to uninstall/remove v1.0 before I can install 1.1?

cheers,
Adam

Nope, just add your license key and you should be able to update from plugins

Fantastic! Worked a treat Merv.

Great news on getting the few issues with the Slider sorted. Thank you.

In regards to the Auto Height issue. While functioning properly, when set to auto the layout of the Thumbnail Navigation is displaying differently than before. The Thumb Nav now sits over the main Slider image instead of underneath. I have attached a screenshot indicating the differences between the two settings. I’d much prefer to have the thumbnails running horizontally along the bottom of the main image instead of over the top. Is this possible?

And lastly… thank you for adding the ‘Support Images Ordering’ function placed at the bottom of the ‘Edit Listing’ page. My client will be very pleased at this addition. I was wondering though… Are you able to add an upload function with the ability to add & remove images to this window? This would negate the need to use the ‘Add Media’ function via the wysiwyg window, thus keeping the whole process of adding images to a listing contained in the one area.

cheers,
Adam
