I still have this template on my secondary site here:

http://www.fashion-mart.biz/

The slider uses the header banners; actually, all three header banners are set to appear there. Perhaps it's possible to set all header banners for homepage only. But even if they don't show on other pages, I suspect that the slider/banner area might.


My slider stalls on first image on product page when Lightbox is turned on. I have to turn it off it want slider to function on product pages.

1) It's pretty simple, really. Since chava didn't post a link to his/her site, I'll use SPH's site as an example. Say SPH only wants his slider to show on the Home page ONLY. So, get your editing tools all gathered up, and let's begin:

First, go to SPH's site that he posted and look at the css.

You'll find that the name of his slider is #loopedSlider.
Next you'll go to his includes/templates/alien-stemware/css/stylesheet.css and find ALL code pertaining to #loopedSlider, and CUT that code out of stylesheet.css.

Next, open up your editor and paste all of your #loopedSlider code into it.
Next, while still in your editor, you'll need to add #indexHomeBody in front of EVERY "#loopedSlider" you see, making SPH's whole the whole page look something like this:

#indexHomeBody #loopedSlider * {
   margin : 0;
   padding : 0;
}

#indexHomeBody #loopedSlider .container {
   width : 598px;
   height : 300px;
   overflow : hidden;
   position : relative;
   cursor : pointer;
   background : #05030d !important ;
   margin : 0 0 10px 10px;
}

#indexHomeBody #loopedSlider, #newsSlider {
   margin : 0 auto;
   width : 598px;
   position : relative;
}

#indexHomeBody #loopedSlider {
   margin : 0;
   float : left;
}

Next, save that file as: includes/templates/alien-stemware/css/stylesheet_home.css

Then, go back to your other stylesheet (stylesheet.css) and add this to it:

#loopedSlider {
   display: none;
}

Hope this helps.



Oh........and for #2............post a link to your site, so we can see it. We can't help in a situation such as yours without actually seeing the problem in action.

Very nice, thanks! I might try it out but do not have a problem with slider as is.

You make it look so easy....

Pretty good. I was never able to successfully remove the right column; it messed-up the template.

What I like most about this template is the header/logo area. Maybe someday I'll see if I can put it on a more standard template. And change color scheme to white or something.

One thing always annoyed me with this template: in IE9 at least when I place cursor over the Specials, New, All at bottom of side categories, the cursor hand has to cover the link well into it's "palm". Would rather just use tip of cursor finger.

i just put everything to the left column via the back end then in the css (i think) i made the middle column bigger.

I also have a sister site which is sorta linked to Tally Taylor it is tallytaylor.com/daniella that one i switched it to a light tan and brown themed page check it out what do you think of it?

do you know how to take the numbers off the left side of the categories?

I am also having a problem with the instructions on how to make the sideshow only show on my home page when i did it it didn't show on any and messed up my whole layout

From what I can see right "off the bat" is that you've got code for the Easy Slider as well as the Looped Slider, which is probably where you're getting your conflict causing your Looped Slider to be "broken". That's where I'd start looking, anyway.

Hope this helps,
