Photoman's code is on-the-money for adding jquery to a thematic theme, as he can no doubt attest to. sowingseeds on "Adding slider to child theme, not working." http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/adding-slider-to-child-theme-not-working#post-13752 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 07:10:21 +0000 sowingseeds 13752@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Not sure if this will help but I implemented this (easyslider) in a theme two days ago.

I updated to the latest version of my jquery slider and it started working so I'm guessing there was a problem with the old file or a bug in the javascript. A big thank you to everyone for your help. :) cypress34 on "Adding slider to child theme, not working." http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/adding-slider-to-child-theme-not-working#post-13734 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 01:08:29 +0000 cypress34 13734@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Hi.. I wish I can help out here, but I use a different jquery slider for my blog which is Nivo Slider, and I was able to implement it after 2 days of trial and error. What I did was place one line of php code on my feature php file, set my rand to (1, 1) on functions.php and what took me long is the css, which would effect in case I want to use the other feature php file if I want to feature something without using the slider. tarpontech on "Adding slider to child theme, not working." http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/adding-slider-to-child-theme-not-working#post-13729 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 18:27:16 +0000 tarpontech 13729@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ try adding the action to thematic_before instead of wp_head add_action('thematic_before', 'easyslider'); I just finished up a child-theme of the Featured, so we're pretty much in the same boat. I keep trying to add jQuery the "right way", using deregister et.al, with no results. here's a cut-n-paste from my functions.php, this works, and hasn't broken any other jquery plugins on the site (yet). Different slideshow, same general idea. Hope it helps get you working... <pre><code>//add front page javascript for slider function shabadoo_front_page_javascript() { if (is_front_page()) { ?> <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') ?>/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') ?>/js/jquery.coda-slider-2.0.js"></script> <script> jQuery().ready(function() { jQuery('#coda-slider-1').codaSlider({ autoSlide: true, autoSlideInterval: 18000, autoSlideStopWhenClicked: true, autoHeight: false, dynamicArrows: false, dynamicArrowLeftText: "left", dynamicArrowRightText: "right", dynamicTabs: false, dynamicTabsAlign: "center", dynamicTabsPosition: "bottom", panelTitleSelector: "", slideEaseDuration: 1000, slideEaseFunction: "easeInOutExpo" }); }); </script> <?php } } add_action('thematic_before', 'shabadoo_front_page_javascript');</code></pre> photoman on "Adding slider to child theme, not working." http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/adding-slider-to-child-theme-not-working#post-13724 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 13:40:14 +0000 photoman 13724@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ I managed to get this working but am still having a slight issue with the javascript options. I changed the code a bit: //jQuery function my_init() { if (!is_admin()) { wp_deregister_script('jquery'); wp_register_script('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js'); wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); } } add_action('init', 'my_init'); //jQuery easySlider function easyslider() { ?> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://mysite.com/js/easySlider.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery('#slider').easySlider({ auto: true, speed: 800 }); }); </script> <?php } add_action('wp_head', 'easyslider'); I can't get the auto option working. I was wondering if this is to do with the function being "ready" rather than being told to start when the page loads.
