This is a follow-up from a question on the Theme Forest comments page:

Hi – Thank you for your theme. I’m working with the free trial and I love the possibilities.
Two questions, for now, if you can help, please: 1) Is there an easy way to force the slideshow into a fixed-height mode? I find it a bit annoying that the preview webpage version “jumps” around when I am in the bottom of the home page content area 2) I am looking for a good implementation of a current sermons page and a sermon archive page. Do you have a good example of an implementation of this using the ChurchHope theme? For example, I’m considering the Risen and WP-Church themes, and each of those has a built-in sermon object/type that allows for easy implementation of uploading sermons.
Thank you.

Hi owl1979,
What trial free version are you using?
1. Yes, slideshow have option for fixed height. Check all settings for your slideshow. 2. What is a difference between usual posts and sermons?

Hi. I am using the free version on your website: http://testdrive.themoholics.com/
1) I saw the fixed height option. I will give it a try, but since the image uploader doesn’t resize to a fixed ratio, there will be a lot of manual work to get it to work correctly. If you take a look at the Risen theme on Theme Forest, for example, you will see an implementation of a slideshow banner that keeps a fixed ratio/size, and that helps with the easy of use for the end user (who I don’t expect to have much technical IT skills).
2) Since posting media will be one of the main features, I was hoping to see a good implementation of a media management system with a friendly UI implementation. Here’s an example of what I was hoping for: http://www.desiringgod.org/resource-library/sermons/by-date/2012 I can definitely build this out by hand, but I was hoping the Church Hope them accounted for sermon archives.
1) If I were to fund this project, Do you have an idea of what the cost would be to develop this ability? If it's an hour cost for development, how many hours do you believe this project would take to develop.
2) In regards to purchasing the ChurchHope theme, How often do you push out updates? Do you have a quarterly timeline? Do we have to pay for upgrades?
