Received a report that the Slider Header option listed on the CBOX Theme

I've confirmed that this is the case.

A potential solution involves adding a code snippet to the end of
/engine/includes/feature-slider/template.php:

@BoweFrankema https://github.com/BoweFrankema - Let me know if you're
okay with adding this code snippet there.

I'll commit the changes for this tomorrow!

Hey @BoweFrankema - Ping on this one. It looks like Ray's suggested fix does work, but wanted to check in with you to make sure it's the right approach before moving any further. Thanks!

I'd like to remove this option all together. It's a left over option that slipped through the cracks from a project where I needed that option. In the current design a callout text below the slider is not needed, because we have the widget space on the right of the slider for that. So my suggestion is to remove the option entirely. Agreed @r-a-y and @boonebgorges ?

If we are removing a feature (even if it didn't work), we'll have to inform the community.

There were a few support questions on cbox.org asking for this, so the fact that people attempted to use it means we should address it?

If there's another way to accomplish the same effect (as Bowe says, there is a widget area there now), and if the feature is currently broken, then I think we can safely remove the feature - it won't be taking anything real away, and no one will have their site changed when it goes missing.

Those are two "if"s though. Are we sure that the feature is currently working for no one?

Actually, now that Boone enlightened me, we do have a "Homepage Center Widget" area, which is pretty much the same thing and is more flexible.

Agreed with everybody. Let's close this one!

Actually, I'm going to reopen this as we still have to remove the feature itself.

It appears that the option to include "Freeform Text" under the slider has been removed, because its control at “Appearance>>CBOX Theme Options>>Home Page>>Slider Header” is not available (probably removed due to the previous comments above).

If so, can someone also please remove the "Freeform Text" image and its description from the tutorial at http://commonsinabox.org/documentation/cbox-slider ?

This would help to remove any confusion to newbies like myself.

Thank you.

@AweVision7 - Thanks for finding this discrepancy with our documentation. I've just updated the image and documentation page.
