Adjust Orbit settings?

[ghost]

I tried the usual script functions in the footer of the theme to hide the navigation arrows and a few of the other Orbit settings as explained in the Foundation Docs, but they don't seem to be working with the setup of the theme. http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/orbit.html

Perhaps I'm doing something obviously simple, but I would appreciate any help!

At some point I'll add this info to a wiki page. I recently added optional parameters, eg

<?php OrbitSlider("navigation_arrows: false; slide_number: false; bullets: false"); ?>

This would output:

<ul data-orbit data-options="navigation_arrows: false; slide_number: false; bullets: false">

This is easier and less problematic than changing the initialization JavaScript in the footer. Each parameter is separated with a semicolon.

You can also set an optional image size so the height/width are consistent across all the Featured Images used. If you don't set this parameter then the default is the full unmodified image resolution.

<?php OrbitSlider("navigation_arrows: false; slide_number: false; bullets: false","large"); ?>

or

<?php OrbitSlider("navigation_arrows: false; slide_number: false; bullets: false","orbit"); ?>

where 'orbit' (or whatever name you choose) is defined in your child functions.php with something like

add_image_size( 'orbit', 1000, 400, true );

I played with the orbit section on the backend of wordpress without finding a way to modify the options.

Is this on development, or is it ready to use? I was able to create a slider, but gave up trying to modify the options.

I ended up creating a new template for orbit slider with the slider options added via data-attributes, like it says in the documentaion. After that, i applied the template to my page.

I guess we answered at the same time thewirelessguy! :)

Great. And this parts of code go into our functions.php file?

The following goes into the page/post template that you want to add it to. Personally I usually copy and paste the code from orbit.php (in page-templates folder) into a custom template eg frontpage.php and then make changes as needed.

<?php OrbitSlider("navigation_arrows: false; slide_number: false; bullets: false","orbit"); ?>

The following goes in the functions.php of your child theme

add_image_size( 'orbit', 1000, 400, true );
