Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Please swap back to 3.3.3 and wait till after Friday when Flynn gets back. There seems to be a 'glitch' with 3.4

It's also missing in 3.4.1 which fixed many other bugs. On Sunday 7-12-2009 I'll release 3.4.2, or you can edit js.php of 3.4.1 and add this:


PHP Code:
<?php if (strpos($bfa_ata['configure_header'],'%image')!==FALSE AND 
$bfa_ata['header_image_javascript'] != "0" ) { ?>

var HeaderImages = new Array(<?php echo implode(","bfa_rotating_header_images()); ?>);
var t; var j = 0
var p = HeaderImages.length
<?php if ($bfa_ata['header_image_javascript_preload'] == "Yes") { ?>
var PreLoadImages = new Array()
for (i = 0; i < p; i++){
    PreLoadImages[i] = new Image()
    PreLoadImages[i].src = HeaderImages[i]
}
<?php ?>
function RotateHeaderImages(){
    if (document.body){
        HeaderImageContainer = document.getElementById('imagecontainer');
        HeaderImageContainer.style.background = 'url(' + HeaderImages[j] + ') <?php echo $bfa_ata['headerimage_alignment']; ?> no-repeat';
        j = j + 1
        if (j > (p-1)) j=0
        t = setTimeout('RotateHeaderImages()', <?php echo $bfa_ata['header_image_javascript']; ?>000)
    }
}
window.onload = RotateHeaderImages;

<?php ?>
after this

PHP Code:
# if (function_exists('sociable_html')) {
# include (WP_PLUGIN_DIR.'/sociable/wists.js');
# }

?>

it got dropped in 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 but back in 3.4.2 see xhttp://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?p=9964 if you want to fix one of those two versions - better yet, move to 3.4.2

Also does not work using Atahualpa 3.4.2, WP 2.7.1, with Firefox 3.5. I put an extra set of qoutes around the background styling of js.php changing:

function RotateHeaderImages(){
if (document.body){
HeaderImageContainer = document.getElementById('imagecontainer');
HeaderImageContainer.style.background = 'url(' + HeaderImages[j] + ') <?php echo $bfa_ata['headerimage_alignment']; ?> no-repeat';
j = j + 1
if (j > (p-1)) j=0
t = setTimeout('RotateHeaderImages()', <?php echo $bfa_ata['header_image_javascript']; ?>000)
}
}

to this:

function RotateHeaderImages(){
if (document.body){
HeaderImageContainer = document.getElementById('imagecontainer');
HeaderImageContainer.style.background = 'url("' + HeaderImages[j] + '") <?php echo $bfa_ata['headerimage_alignment']; ?> no-repeat';
j = j + 1
if (j > (p-1)) j=0
t = setTimeout('RotateHeaderImages()', <?php echo $bfa_ata['header_image_javascript']; ?>000)
}
}

Now works using IE8, FF 3.5 (Win7 64 bit and Fedora 11), Opera 9.64, and Chrome 2.0.172.39.

The rotating header image code has been added into the theme. There is an option at ATO->Header Image called 'Rotate header images with Javascript?' that you can change from 0 to rotate the images.

Thanks a lot juggledad, I had to try a few times, but I finally got it to work. I have to admit it looks great on my site. My only complaint would be that it slows things down about on my site. As soon as I added the javascript, my site also dropped somewhat on the organic Google listing. I think page-load time is a factor. So I decided to switch back. I WILL apply it to my personal blog though, where I don't give a squat about rankings.

I'm developing a new site, http://www.replaysportsmt.com/

I have 4 images loaded in the /header directory and all appear if the page is refreshed or you go to a new page. They are not rotating however. I have it set to rotate every 4 seconds using JavaScript fade effect.

Can you advise, please?

Thanks,

Tom

I currently get a database error when trying to go to your site.

Perhaps you have a plugin conflict? If you turn off fade does it work?

I removed the "Fade" effect and now it works. Trying it in IE & Firefox, both works, so how do I get the fade to work, its a great transition.

Thanks,

Tom

Working, but WITHOUT fade. Tried fade again, increased time limits for image duration and fade, nothing seems to work with fade.

Thanks

You may have a plugin conflict. The fade effect can be problematic and doesn't play nice with some. You can try temporarily deactivation your plugins to see if fade starts working.

What version of Atahualpa? Do you have all applicable bug fixes installed?

until you apply the BUGFIX's (see the 'New Versions & Updates' forum) go to ato->Configure CSS & JS and set 'CSS: Compress?' to 'No'
