hi, first of all, congrats for this awesome theme. But there’s a way to carousel dynamically exclude the actual post? since the user is viewing a post, there’s no reason for carousel include it. thank you in advance.

Sure, for example I would like to exclude from carousel the entry for this post when the user is reading it: http://ano-zero.com/o-nosso-real-despertar/

Hello There,

Thanks for updating in! To resolve this issue, since you have your child theme active and ready, please follow the following steps below:
1] Using Notepad or TextEdit or Sublime Text or any text editor, please create a new file in your local machine.
2] Insert the following code into that new file

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/ETHOS/_POST-CAROUSEL.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Outputs the post carousel that appears at the top of the masthead.
// =============================================================================

GLOBAL $post_carousel_entry_id;

$post_carousel_entry_id = get_the_ID();

$is_enabled = x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_enable' ) == '1';
$count      = x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_count' );
$display    = x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display' );

switch ( $display ) {
  case 'most-commented' :
    $args = array(
      'post_type'      => 'post',
      'posts_per_page' => $count,
      'orderby'        => 'comment_count',
      'order'          => 'DESC',
      'post__not_in'   => array($post_carousel_entry_id)
    );
    break;
  case 'random' :
    $args = array(
      'post_type'      => 'post',
      'posts_per_page' => $count,
      'orderby'        => 'rand',
      'post__not_in'   => array($post_carousel_entry_id)
    );
    break;
  case 'featured' :
    $args = array(
      'post_type'      => 'post',
      'posts_per_page' => $count,
      'orderby'        => 'date',
      'meta_key'       => '_x_ethos_post_carousel_display',
      'meta_value'     => 'on',
      'post__not_in'   => array($post_carousel_entry_id)
    );
    break;
}

?>

<?php if ( $is_enabled ) : ?>

  <ul class="x-post-carousel unstyled">

    <?php $wp_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>

    <?php if ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
      <?php while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>

        <li class="x-post-carousel-item">
          <?php x_ethos_entry_cover( 'post-carousel' ); ?>
        </li>

      <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

    <script>

    jQuery(document).ready(function() {
      jQuery('.x-post-carousel').slick({
        speed          : 500,
        slide          : 'li',
        slidesToShow   : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_extra_large' ); ?>,
        slidesToScroll : 1,
        rtl            : <?php echo json_encode( is_rtl() ); ?>,
        responsive     : [
          { breakpoint : 1500, settings : { speed : 500, slide : 'li', slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_large' ); ?> } },
          { breakpoint : 1200, settings : { speed : 500, slide : 'li', slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_medium' ); ?> } },
          { breakpoint : 979,  settings : { speed : 500, slide : 'li', slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_small' ); ?> } },
          { breakpoint : 550,  settings : { speed : 500, slide : 'li', slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_extra_small' ); ?> } }
        ]
      });
    });

    </script>

  </ul>

<?php endif; ?>

3] Save the file named as _post-carousel.php
4] Upload this file to your server in the child theme’s folder
wp-content/themes/x-child/framework/views/ethos/

We would loved to know if this has work for you. Thank you.

Well, it didn’t work. But since I’ve already have a _post-carousel.php in my child theme (due to exclude carousel in home) and to show recent posts, I realized that I can just insert “$exclude_ids = array(get_the_ID());” to exclude the actual post.

So, for other clients too, heres de code we need to insert in _post-carousel.php (child theme) to hide carousel in home (appearing in posts and pages), showing recent posts AND excluding the actual post:

=======================

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/ETHOS/_POST-CAROUSEL.PHP
// —————————————————————————–
// Outputs the post carousel that appears at the top of the masthead.
// =============================================================================

GLOBAL $post_carousel_entry_id;

$post_carousel_entry_id = get_the_ID();

$is_enabled = x_get_option( ‘x_ethos_post_carousel_enable’ ) == ‘1’;
$count = x_get_option( ‘x_ethos_post_carousel_count’ );
$display = x_get_option( ‘x_ethos_post_carousel_display’ );

$exclude_ids = array(get_the_ID()); // Enter the IDs of posts you want to exclude
$args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => $count, ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘post__not_in’ => $exclude_ids );

?>

<?php if ( $is_enabled && (is_home() || is_front_page() ) ) { ?>

<div class=”x-img-banner”>
</div>

<?php } else { ?>

<ul class=”x-post-carousel unstyled”>

<?php $wp_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>

<?php if ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>

<li class=”x-post-carousel-item”>
<?php x_ethos_entry_cover( ‘post-carousel’ ); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

<script>

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(‘.x-post-carousel’).slick({
speed : 500,
slide : ‘li’,
slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( ‘x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_extra_large’, ‘5’ ); ?>,
slidesToScroll : 1,
responsive : [
{ breakpoint : 1500, settings : { speed : 500, slide : ‘li’, slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( ‘x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_large’, ‘4’ ); ?> } },
{ breakpoint : 1200, settings : { speed : 500, slide : ‘li’, slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( ‘x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_medium’, ‘3’ ); ?> } },
{ breakpoint : 979, settings : { speed : 500, slide : ‘li’, slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( ‘x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_small’, ‘2’ ); ?> } },
{ breakpoint : 550, settings : { speed : 500, slide : ‘li’, slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( ‘x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_extra_small’, ‘1’ ); ?> } }
]
});
});

</script>

<?php } ?>

Hello There,

Thanks for providing the information. Regretfully the given ftp details is not working for us. Please double check it so that we can log in and check your _psot-carousel.php file

By the way, I checked the page (http://ano-zero.com/espirito-santo/) again and I no longer see any duplicates of the post in the carousel.

http://prntscr.com/eiwucc

Hope to hear from you soon.
