I’m trying to setup slideshow like it shows in the demo of newspaper theme here:
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/10-landscapes-wont-even-imagined-exist/
How do we set that up? (slideshow where each slide is a new page, ie /2, /3, /4 etc)
Hi larceny,
You can achieve same slideshow with our demo of newspaper if you use smart list feature. For more information about how to create a smartlist, please consult our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-lists/ .
Thanks and let us know how it goes!
That particular demo is using ajax or something to refresh the slide content – change the url, but it doesn’t refresh the whole page. The demo page here: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/10-landscapes-wont-even-imagined-exist/ refreshes the whole page. I’d like to mimic that (for ad refreshes, etc). Is this not possible with smartlists? is there something I need to do differently than on your demo url you gave me?
Thanks!
So I’m wondering now how to get the featured image to work – because it won’t show anything on the homepage for the background of post or thumbnail – without one. However that screws up the smart list slideshows, since it adds the image twice. Is there any way of using the slideshow while still showing an image on homepage for that post?
Hi larceny,
To solve your problem, please use post template style 5 because this kind of template are recommended for smart list. This post template will not display Featured Image on Single Post. http://screencast.com/t/EG0wZveXhxP
Thanks!
Hi larceny,
I understand what you want to do. First of all, i need to know what kind of smartlist you use. Below, you can find the steps you should follow to achieve as you wish, for smartlist style 7. If you are using other style, please let me know.
It is necessary to make some modification in core file, like that: http://screencast.com/t/ManwVqxXquC – http://screencast.com/t/4glTOReApKM .

Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Hi There,
I made the changes to the core file to get the display above the text but I am still seeing display under the text. Is there anything I am missing in the latest version of newspaper.
Hello albertaguy,
Unfortunately, I do not know what changes you make to your core, sorry! Please notice that the smart list code is too sensible and if you are not aware what changes you do, you can break this feature and we cannot provide support for your modifications, sorry! If you want to change the layout of this and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
