this is a great, great, GREAT plugin. i’ve been looking or a way to do this for a while now and this plugin is just what i’m looking for. thanks a bunch!

i just have some questions on how to weak it. i know you can use the option for a lot of the tweaks, but there are a couple i’d like to do that i don’t see options for, maybe you can point me to the right files to edit to get it the way i want.

is there a way to get rid of the numbering system under the pictures? i.e. the number and “next”/”previous” buttons? i’d just like to allow the featured images to fade in and out by itself without the buttons sticking out like that.

is there a way to not have any text excerpts at all? i’d just want the title of the post and not have the excerpts. the only way i saw to limit the excerpt was to put a “1″ in the options setting, but that just gave me a single word excerpt anyway. just the title would be best for me.

thanks and again, great plugin!

Hi just a follow-up. i took out the excerpt code and now i don’t have to worry about the excerpts, and it’s working great now, so please disregard my previous question.

i have another question, though: when i used the plugin on one site, it works great, everything shows up, but when i use it on another site, it doesn’t really work. instead of a slideshow, it shows all the featured post instead of just one at a time and then doing the slideshow. i’ve tried it on another site, and it didn’t work again. i think it could be something with the theme i’m using? the sites that it didn’t work on were both using the same theme. or do you think there might be something else? plugins conflict, maybe?

thanks again.

iamjack: I will make “next / previous” buttons optional in the new version.
I checked the plugin with many different blogs and Wordpress versions and had no problems. But I made a few small adjustments so make sure you have the latest version.

deltablue: CB-Featured plugin is not WPMU compatible yet but I’m working on it.

Hey admin, thanks for the reply!

for some reason, I don’t know why it just doesn’t work on this one of my site because it works just fine on another site. Even with the new files it still displays all the posts at the same time and the slideshow doesn’t work. Do you think the fact that this site already has a ‘feature post’ feature (though it’s not very good) could be the problem?

Looks like a great plugin, but I get the following error when I try to activate the plugin in WordPress 2.7

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare the_content_limit() in /www/ipm10002/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/cb-featured/cb-featured.php on line 51

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Problem solved, it’s conflicting with the plugin Limit Posts , I had to change the function the_content_limit to something else.

thanks

I get the follow error, the line number is where the line that the widget resides, so its the widget throwing the error:

Warning: Division by zero in /home/appleinvestor/techgratr.org/wp-content/themes/Wp-Adv-Newspaper/home.php on line 6

I’m using Wordpress 2.7

I have filled in the recommended configurations, but the Effects drop down does not keep any choice I make, it goes back to No effect after submitting the changes.

AppleInvestor cb-featured plugin already tested on Wordpress 2.7. There may be a problem with the theme you are using or with your php.ini file. Please contact your hosting provider for this.

After submitting changes, the effects drop down goes to No effect but saves the changes/saves your effect choice. If none of your choises is being saved then please download the latest cb-featured version from this page.
