Picture and Text does not appear, although Post titles do

PostBy sledfishmckenzie on Thu Jun 04, 2009 8:36 pm

Hey all,

I got the content loader to show up on my page, but all that I can see is a progress bar.

Underneath it, I can see my 3 posts rotating, and if you click on the arrows, it rotates the posts as well. However, my pictures don't show up and neither do my texts.

I think it is because I don't know how to input my custom fields. Under custom fields, I have:

I'm pretty sure I messed this up. How can I correct this?

Each featured post has only one articleimg custom field with url, no articleimg2 or articleimg3..

Sorry, but that's the part I don't understand. What should I change it to?

Am I supposed to create three custom fields with the title "articleimg" in it? How do I make the image correspond to the post?

What I am asking for is a step by step process, if you can help.

Ok, I watched the video. What I don't understand is how to input the articleimg and featuretext for the second and third posts. I know how to put in the first one by simply typing in "articleimg" and "featuretext." But that only correlates ONE picture to ONE post. How do I get the SECOND and THIRD posts, if my FCG has 3 posts?

FCG displays your created posts. Lets say you have posts A,B,C,D,E,F on your blog. You want FCG to display/highlight A,B and F.

* get IDs of posts A,B,F
* input IDs in FCG settings Featured Content Selection (ex. 22,13,50)
* now go and edit each of posts A,B,F and for each add his "articleimage" "featuredtext" custom field

edit post (shorter versions of values)
A post
name / value
----------------
articleimg / ...DogsOfWar2-s.jpg
featuredtext / Here is Kevin...

B post
name / value
----------------
articleimg / ...memorial_day1.jpg
featuredtext / Here is another...

F post
name / value
----------------
articleimg / ...memorial_day2.jpg
featuredtext / And the last one...

Hi.
I've the same problem.
I've writed 4 post and i've input IDs post in FCG settings Featured Content Selection. Then
i've edited each of posts and for each i've added his "articleimage" with a URL.
The image for each post is 350x200 and in FCG settings tehe size for Gallery Style is 350x200 too, but in my page compare only a white box with a black border 350x200.
What's the problem?
The plugin is in the site "www. balbuzie-bews.it"
