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

HOWTO: create fading header images

[This comes from a tip by johanl from post http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=4046] - nice find it looks very nice!

If you would like to have a cross-fade (gentle fade in/out) the multiple header images instead of the harsh image rotation, edit js.php and change line 61 (in version 3.4.4-3.4.6) from
HTML Code:
window.onload = RotateHeaderImages;
to
HTML Code:
// Smooth fading code starts here
var fadeInSpeed=2500; // ms
var fadeOutSpeed=2000; // ms

function PrepareRotatingImages() {
	if (document.body){
        if(HeaderImages.length < 2) 
            return; 
		imageContainer = jQuery('#imagecontainer');
        imageContainer.css("background","none"); 
        for(i=0; i < HeaderImages.length; i++) {
            imageContainer.append("<div id=\"himage" + i + "\" style=\"overflow:hidden;display:none;position:absolute;top=0;left=0;width:100%;height:<?php echo $bfa_ata["headerimage_height"]?>px\"><img src=\""+HeaderImages[i]+"\"/></div>");
        }
        jQuery("#himage"+j).fadeIn(fadeInSpeed);
        SmoothRotateHeaderImages();
    }
}

function SmoothRotateHeaderImages() {
    fadeOutImage=jQuery("#himage"+j);
    j+=1; if(j>(HeaderImages.length-1)) j=0;
    fadeInImage=jQuery("#himage"+j);
    fadeInImage.fadeIn(fadeInSpeed);
    fadeOutImage.fadeOut(fadeOutSpeed);
    t = setTimeout('SmoothRotateHeaderImages()', <?php echo $bfa_ata['header_image_javascript']; ?>000);
}

window.onload = PrepareRotatingImages;
// end smooth fading
Make sure you have set ATO->Header Image->Rotate header images with Javascript? to a number greater than '0' or this will not work.

Well, yes, just tested it and it works but i found a problem.

In my case i have the header images align at "top center". After changing the code to add the fade in/out the alignment changed.

After the first load of the page the header image it's aligned top center but when it does the first fade out and then the fade in to the next img the alignment is lost. I really like this feature so i would like to keep it, so my question is, how can i fix this so the alignment does get lost.

Thanks.

I'm brand-spankin' new to WP, and am excited about this Atahualpa's potential and forum support! Can you explain the following statement (not a clue where I set ATO):

"Make sure you have set ATO->Header Image->Rotate header images with Javascript? to a number greater than '0' or this will not work." [/quote]

Thanks!

have you turned off the rotating image option at ato->Header Image->Rotate header images with Javascript?

Hi,

Thanks for this great code - it works great for me with IE8 but with one small problem - every time it changes to a new image in the rotation it stretches the image height by a few mm and then before the image changes it un-stretches it again - giving an annoying little jumping effect. I have tried changing the header image height setting down and up in ATO but it makes no difference - do you have any suggestions?

Thanks.

are you using the fading in/out or just the rotation - what is the url?
