Convert or Fix my frontpage. WordPress

  • SOLVED

www.ariadneswonderland.gr, There's 3 components to the frontpage,
I have a temp admin user, contact me if needed.

A gallery that will act as a showcase,

A line of 5 pictures (php code that retrieves the latest 5 Featured Images from a specific category and displays them one next to the other) that will need to have a background picture (as of now they are in a white box and look rather horrid... I've got the background pic ready tho [Attatched])

And finally 3 content boxes next to each other that apparently are beyond my css abilities to write.. :S The boxes content will be in order:

Kids Wonderland (catering services) Just an image with some text+hyperlink under it all placed in a rounded box with a title. [pastel Peach]

About me, A small image on the left, text on the right and 2 buttons underneath. Always in a rounded box with title ofc. [pastel greenish blue]

Sweet of The Month, Identical to kid's wonderland setup wise but a pastel violet.

All of the code works, including the 3 panels, what is needed really is some tweaking to place a background under the featured images, and someone with some decent CSS to tweak the 3 panels so they line up and have the right colours etc. For instance when i change the title from H1 to H2 it loses capitals (which i wanted) but for some reason the image no longer fits.. My 1 semester of css just isn't covering it.

I'll be receiving my images back from the photographer on wednesday so this has a deadline of wednesday... :S

CODE:

1. <strong>Style.css code</strong> for the panels/box'es at the end of the page.
/* === Basic styles for all three boxes === */


.contentBox {
border-radius: 8px;
float: center;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
min-height: 300px;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
width: 240px;
}


.contentBox img {
display: inline; /* legacy IE */
float: left;
margin: 0 10px 10px 0;
}


.contentBox .inner {
overflow: hidden; /* contain floats */
padding: 10px;
}


.contentBox .links {
clear: both;
margin: 10px auto;
padding: 10px 0;
text-align: center;
width: 98%;
}


.contentBox .links a {
border-radius: 12px;
color: #fff;
display: inline;
padding: 5px 10px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
}


.contentBox h2 {
border-top-left-radius: 8px;
border-top-right-radius: 8px;
line-height: 1;
margin: 0 0 10px 0;
padding: 10px;
text-transform: uppercase;
}


/* Styles for individual columns */




/* === Green column === */


.one {
border: 1px solid #b3e5c0;
}

.one h1 {
background: #f5f5f5 url(http://ariadneswonderland.gr/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/sampleBG.png) repeat-x bottom;
color: #8f7f6e;
}

.one h2 {
background: #f5f5f5 url(http://ariadneswonderland.gr/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/sampleBG.png) repeat-x bottom;
color: #8f7f6e;
}


.one h3 {
color: #8f7f6e;
}


.one .links {
border-top: 2px dotted #8f7f6e;
}


.one a.more:link,
.one a.more:visited {
background: #6f9a7c;
}


.one a.contact:link,
.one a.contact:visited {
background: #8f7f6e;
}

/* === Pink column === */

/* Rinse and repeat */

/* === Yellow column === */

/* Rinse and repeat */


2. <strong>HTML </strong>(i know i've made it all in one monster post... horrible but my css just isn't that good :S and with all the different plugins...) Please note that here it's Dropshadowbox that i want replaced with the attatched image instead,

<p style="text-align: center;">[slider_pro id="1"]</p>

&nbsp;

<h1 style="padding-left: -30px; text-align: left;">Featured Sweets.</h1>
<h1 style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;"></h1>

[dropshadowbox align="center" effect="curled" width="97%" border_width="1" border_color="#DDD" inside_shadow="false" ]

<h1 style="padding-left: 27px; text-align: center;">[php function=1]</h1>

[/dropshadowbox]

&nbsp;

3.<strong>[php function=1]</strong> This is the php that i'm using as a snippet to retrieve the Featured img from the 5 latest posts in category 5.


<?php
$categoryId = 7;
$args = array('category' => $categoryId , 'post_status' => 'publish', 'numberposts' => 5);
$posters = get_posts( $args );
if ( $posters ) {
foreach ($posters as $post) {

$imgsrc = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), "Full");
?>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>" title=""><img src="<?php echo $imgsrc[0]; ?>" class="thumbnail" width="130" height="130" alt='' /></a>

<?php }
}
?>

Hi Philip,

Send me a PM with login details.. I will try my hands on it... HTML coding looks confusing(probably not hand coded i guess)...

Cheers
