I'm experimenting with the WA slideshow gadget, but the problem I'm having seems to be with the choices for the sizing. It seems I can only choose from fixed layouts (16:9, 3:4, 1:1, or a fixed height). This works ok for camera photos that actually are in those aspect ratios but not so good for custom images like banners and header images which may have different aspect ratios such as being very long and rectangular (e.g., a 10:1 aspect ratio). Choosing the "Landscape 16:9" option displays the entire banner image, but it also puts a lot of whitespace above and below the image (to fit it into the 16:9 box) that is not acceptable.

What I'd like is:

• I want the slideshow to be responsive so it shows up properly on various devices,




• I don't want the images to get cropped in any direction as seems to happen with the "Fit image to slideshow area" option,



• I want the containing box to fit the image, whatever the aspect ratio is, without adding unnecessary whitespace.

If anyone has a solution for this, I'd greatly appreciate hearing it. Otherwise, I'd like to add this to the wishlist for the slideshow. Many of my clients would like to use the slideshow gadget for rotating banner ads or slideshows in their headers.

Thanks,

Kim

I found this Help page that outlines exactly what I need to do:

http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Making+menu+items+not+clickable

But I cannot get the execution to yield the correct results. The link says to copy and paste the CSS script into the 'Global javascript' section. Easy enough. Then I am supposed to add the PageID into the second to last line of code where the copied script currently has ("12345"). So, let's say the PageID that I want to hide is 1689200. So does my code look like this:

disableLink("#PAGEID_1689188");

or without quotes:

disableLink(#PAGEID_1689188);

or without the PAGEID prefix:

disableLink("1689188"); OR disableLink(1689188);

I am using the Aurora Horizontal Red template. I have no other code in the Global Javascript. But nothing I do disables that first level parent link. It still allows the user to click on it instead of forcing them to use one of the underlying 2nd level child links.

Hello All,

My group has decided to setup a new website for our organization. The decision has been made to use Wordpress for the website and embed the necessary forms from Wild Apricot. At the moment, the only way I know how to embed external urls (like those for my Wild Apricot forms) is to use iframes. Unfortunately, the Wild Apricot forms change size and the iframes do not. This leaves users with having to deal with scroll bars in the iframe. This is difficult for users to navigate and greatly detracts from the look of the site. I am wondering if there is a way to embed the Wild Apricot forms so that the frame adjusts to the changing size of the form.

My knowledge in this area is limited, so detailed answers would be greatly appreciated.

Many Many Thanks!

The first thing you see when you click the blog menu is the blog snippet preview that displays the first few lines of each blog in a list.

Is it possible to adjust the height of each blog snippet? My organization uses a blog to post its recent activities, and each blog article features a short intro, photos then a full-length write-up. Under the current setting, the blog preview snippet displays the intro and the top 10-30% of the ensuing photos. The top 10-30% usually means the ceilings or various venues where our events took place. If we could increase the height of the blog snippet, it will convey more detail to the readers even before they jump to individual blog.

Hello,

I'm relatively new to WA and new to the forum and have been unsuccessful finding the answer to this question here. Perhaps someone could kindly answer for me: Is there a way to insert PHP pages into WA, maybe via iframes or something similar?,

I have a database that needs to serve a collection of PDF files to my WA site users, and the best way to do this would be to have a page inserted into the normal WA site that contains PHP code. I know you can add HTML and Javascript, but can PHP pages be used? If not, is there a workaround?

Thanks a lot.

It's no secret that Wild Apricot has many tools for associations and other organizations, but what isn't so well known is that we have a growing set of tools for designers and developers to create beautiful websites for all these associations and organizations.

But we're changing that today with the launch of the "For Designers and Developers" forum (formerly the "Customization" forum ).

And the title really says it all, this is forum is specifically for designers and developers to:
* Share design tips and tricks
* Showcase their designs
* Suggest Improvements to our design tools
* ... and anything else you think fits here.

And like all forums our team will be actively participating in these discussions as well as publishing regular design oriented tutorials.

But as the Community Manager, I'll also be especially involved in this forum to make sure designers and developers working with Wild Apricot have all the resources they need.

So if you haven't yet please introduce yourself below :)
