hi, sorry to jump in on this thread – but i have a similar looking issue here. what bug did you find andrew? — basically i can only create galleries by uploading images from my local machine – if i try and add images that already existing in the media library, or try adding a ‘gallery’ or images via the media library they don’t show up – it ‘sticks’ with the images i originally uploaded! i can’t find a way to remove them!

ah got it
.orbit-wrapper .timer { visibility: hidden; }

via https://github.com/zurb/orbit/issues/46

i found
“timer: true,”
in header-functions.php

when i change this to false it does hide it, but then the slides don’t advance either! i just want to hide the timer, not change the functionality…

that’s fantastic! works brilliantly :) :) thanks again

yes, tricky one. i think this is very similar to the general ‘dropdown menu’ dilemma we now have with touch devices – i.e. does the parent menu item take you somewhere on click (second click on touch device) or does it only exist to facilitate the dropdown? it’s a UI problem in general i guess.

for the filter icons the ideal solution would be: desktop – hover shows labels, click does the filtering; touch device – first click shows label AND triggers the filtering. but i appreciate that might just be completely impossible.
your ‘hide the labels’ on touch-devices is probably second best in my case – what would be needed to do that? a bit of CSS or something else too to avoid having 2 clicks?
thanks andrew,
chris

that’s great – many thanks – one thought – is there ANY way to get the ipad view filter icons to fire on *first* click? currently first click brings up the label/title, but a second click is needed for the filter action (which isn’t intuitive/obvious)… :)

thanks – sorry i need to clarify – the quotes i don’t need to appear in an overlay/lightbox – i just want to work out the best way to approach adding the ability to fade through *multiple quotes* in a single portfolio box. any suggestions for a starting point?

[tallhat]

thanks for the quick reply
1) sorry i meant *auto-rotate*, and particularly it would be good to be able to rotate through client text quotes. what would be the best starting point do you think to add/customise the theme to allow this?
2) yes i’ve got that sorted, sorry, missed the # in the field (it wasn’t needed in the theme options fields)
3) sure, i thought it would be a case of under-the-hood customising and adding a lightbox plugin. any recommendations for plugin?
thanks again
chris

sorry, meant to also ask – would it be possible to have a link to a video from a portfolio box which causes the video to appear in an overlay ‘lightbox’ – rather than linking to a page as on the demo site? what would be involved here? thanks
