Hi,

After install MD Classic theme, you must enable md_classic_features-7.x-1.0.zip.

Next, from admin toolbar, go to "Structure -> Blocks" and enable your desire slider. 

Go to to MD Classic theme settings (yourdrupal/admin/appearance/settings/md_classic) and click to Slider settings:

 

Here you can change settings for your desire slider (width, height, navigation button...)

Best,

Hi Neo,

 

Thank you for the reply, but where/how do I specify the images ?

And also, if you have, can you please let me know the block regions ? it took me a while to figure out how the blocks are and that main page does not allow content, but just blocks only.

Thanks,
Shashi

Hi Shashi,

You can add new node type "work", and image is "Image for slideshow". I'll update block regions in next few minutes.

Yes, front page does not allow content :)

Hi Neo,

I have installed this theme also but unfortunately I don´t understand how can I create or activate the slide show for this theme. The above description did not work in my theme or I did not understand this completly. Do you have maby a more precisley description for it?

I installed in my drupal only the template and not the demo version of this.

 

It will be very nice.

 

Thanks a lot.

Hi Maziar,

Did you install md_classic_features-7.x-1.0.zip module? After install this module, you'll see 4 slider blocks in Structure -> Block ;)

Hi,

If you want to switch slideshow, go to Structure -> blocks and change slideshow block. I can't access your ste now :(

About font, you can go to MD Classic theme settings (admin/appearance/settings/md_classic) and insert this CSS code to Styling -> Custom CSS:

body,
#nav,
.meta,
.item-list .pager,
.contact-alternate li span,
ul.links,
ul.primary,
.ui-widget,
.comment-form label,
input,
textarea,
select,
a.button {
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
}
h1, h2, h3,
#skip,
#content-top,
.contact-alternate li,
.node-full h2,
.comment .commenter-name,
ul.contextual-links,
div.field-type-taxonomy-term-reference,
div.messages,
p.comment-time,
table {
  font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}
#site-name,
 {
    font-family: Georgia, serif;
}

Insert your font name to font-family ;)

I have the same problem and can't figure out how to upload my image for slideshows and how to activate it. I've already enabled slideshows and picked it on Slider-settings. But nothing is happening.

And i do not see my logotype although I did upload it

Hi birus,

When you create "Work" node, there're field called "Image for slideshow". It's image for main slideshow

You can go to Structure » Blocks, find your slideshow block, click configure and fill "<none>" to "Block title":

Hi got it figured out, 

My settting was set as publish to front page, when I removed that it no longer displayed the Titles, but my slideshow is perfect.

Thanks
