V4 News Fader 1.1.2

[Mands]

Any chance that you can help me with this Brian please? Not sure what I would be doing wrong. Though I swear the image urls were added differently last time I used it. Thanks in advance. Only bumping it, as I see you online just now.

170 is not a valid height.

As specified in the tooltip for the Height field you need to add px to the end of the number. Without specifying the unit of measurement the height you specify will be omitted.

170px

Oh lordy! Is that all I forgot to do wrong? I can only blame that I'm not feeling so good these days, so my head isn't screwed on right! Though for some reason, I was sure that the image url's got added to the plugin last time I used it, not the news section... but I must be wrong? Thank you so much, can't believe it was that simple! Argh! LOL

Since version 1.1.0 the plugin uses the headlines and speed from the news feed page.

Version 1.0.1 is still available in the dropdown on the right of its library page for those that wish to keep everything within the plugin.

Do you mean from the "admin" account when going to manage plugins? I downloaded this one from this thread, so I've downloaded a different version then? Sorry, I'm not too tech savvy.  So I need to look for the one with the different version number for adding the image urls to the plugin itself then? Just keep me right, as I say, my head isn't screwed on right these day. Thanks again in advance for help, you are always so good and patient with me.

Thanks for the clarification, Brian .

I have version 1.0.1 and I didn't quite understand what Mands meant when she said the images weren't being placed in the plugin. I prefer this older version now that I know the newer ones rely on the news feed ~ which we don't use.

No wonder I confused you Luv! LOL! Thanks again for all your help the other night, I really appreciated it! You're a gem! <3

You're welcome, Mands .

I'm happy it's now sorted for you.

[Mands]

Me too ♥ ℒʊ√ ♥ and something so simple too! I just need to try and find the other version that I need, like the one you have!  

[♥ ℒʊ√ ♥]

Mands , go to this link and on the right side, you'll see "Version Selector".

A dropdown menu appears. Choose version 1.0.1.

[Mands]

Got it, thank you so much again, ♥ ℒʊ√ ♥ - I can't wait to get it up and running, the soon as I'm back on my "admin" account! Thank you to you and Brian for your patience with me. <3

Brian Hi Brian,
Was there ever a version of this that was viewable across the site no matter what page you were on? I have the 1.0.1 version which does what I want and does not need the news feed to be enabled, however, I was sure the last time I had it (like almost at the start of V5) that you could see the news fader no matter what page you were on, on the site and now it doesn't. The reason I like it viewable on all pages is because I use it to contain my spotlight winners (or I did) and I liked to see them no matter what page I was on, on the forum. I have a feeling you are going to tell me, that no, there was never a version like this and I am going nuts. LOL Thanks in advance.

[Brian]

Mands, it's possible in 1.0.1 but you need to modify the source code of the plugin to do it. There was never a version that was visible on every page out of the box.

Thanks very much Brian I will give that a go when I am on my "admin" account later. Hopefully I don't mess it up, as I'm useless at this sort of stuff. Like seriously. But I'll give it a try. Thanks again.

[Mands]

That worked for me, I did it, thanks Brian
