Something clean,\nthat takes advantage of WordPress' built-in file-management system, and doesn't require learning all sorts of new templating\nand organization systems. I couldn't find one, so I wrote my own.<\/p>\n\n<p>Simple Slideshow is exactly what it says on the box. It's a plugin that's simple to deal with, and when used, produces a simple-looking\nslideshow that integrates well into any theme, and won't clash with other plugins.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you have any problems with it, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/dlanger\/simple-slideshow\/issues\">issue tracker<\/a> or \npost something in the WordPress <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/\">forums<\/a> and I'll try and help you figure it out. Most are\ncaused by other incorrectly-coded themes or plugins, and can be easily solved.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li><p>Unzip <code>simple_slideshow.zip<\/code> into its own folder within the <code>wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> folder of your Wordpress installation. If you install\nSimple Slideshow through the administration menu of your blog, this step is done automatically for you.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Under the <em>Installed Plugins<\/em> menu (under <em>Plugins<\/em>), click <em>Activate<\/em> in the Simple Slideshow section - \nthis enables the plugin, and tells Wordpress that the shortcode you'll use to place a slideshow means something.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>That's it! Check out the <em>Instructions<\/em> tab on the Simple Slideshow menu (which you'll find in the <em>Settings<\/em>\nsection of Wordpress' admin menu) for easy instructions (with screenshots) on how to insert a slideshow in a post.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt>How do I add a slideshow to a page?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>First, you need to upload the images that you'd like in your slideshow. Use the built-in <em>media uploader<\/em> to do this; \nwhile editing the post, click the small picture icon above the post you're editing to open it. From this screen you can add, edit, rename, and \ndelete the photos that will be in the slideshow. Once they're uploaded, add <code>[simples_slideshow]<\/code> where you'd like the \nslideshow to appear in the page.<\/p>\n\n<p>There's no need to add the images individually to the post; Simple Slideshow automatically grabs all the images you've attached\nto the post and puts them in the show.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Where are the menu and settings for Simple Slideshow?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Under the <em>Settings<\/em> section of the Administration section, on the page entitled <em>Simple Slideshow<\/em>.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>How do I make the images change faster or slower?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>The slideshow will advance when the forwards\/backwards arrows are clicked. If you'd like to make the transition between images\nfaster or slower, you can pass attributes to the shortcode - for example, <code>[simple_slideshow transition_speed=\"1000\"]<\/code>. For full documentation on this, \ncheck out the <em>Attributes<\/em> tab in the Simple Slideshow menu.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>How do I make the images advance automatically?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>You're looking for the <code>auto_advance<\/code> attribute. Enable it on a per-show basis with <code>auto_advance=\"1\"<\/code>, and set how long you'd like each slide to be\ndisplayed with <code>auto_advance_speed<\/code>. For example, a show that auto-advances and keeps each image up for five seconds could be called by <code>[simple_slideshow auto_advance=\"1\" auto_advance_speed=\"5000\"]<\/code>.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>How do I change the order of images in the slideshow?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>In the <em>media uploader<\/em>, go to the <em>Gallery<\/em> tab. There, drag the images up and down to put them in \nthe order you'd like them to be shown in (top to bottom). When you're done, press <em>Save all changes<\/em>,\nand the new order will be shown when you reload the post containing the slideshow.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>What's all this about different Cycle versions?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Simple Slideshow supports two versions of the Cycle plugin - <code>Cycle All<\/code> and <code>Cycle Lite<\/code>. If you're only looking to have your photos\nfade into one another, <code>Cycle Lite<\/code> is fine for you - plus, it's a smaller file, so it will download faster for\nyour users. If you're looking for a fancier image transition, you'll need to load the <code>Cycle All<\/code> plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>How do I use fancier image transitions?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>If you'd like to use one of the transitions listed <a href=\"http:\/\/jquery.malsup.com\/cycle\/browser.html\">here<\/a>, all you have to do\nis set the <em>Cycle Version<\/em> option (in the <em>Settings<\/em> menu) to <em>All<\/em>. Then you can set the transition effect like any other option - \nset a default one on the <em>Settings<\/em> menu, and then customize it on a per-slideshow basis if you'd like.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>I want to improve\/change\/work on\/modify Simple Slideshow<\/dt>\n<dd><p>That's great! This plugin is licensed under the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freebsd.org\/copyright\/freebsd-license.html\">FreeBSD license<\/a>, which means that you're free to \ndo pretty much anything you'd like with it. If you've got some changes you'd like to merge back into the plugin (for which I'll be grateful, and\nwill send you a postcard as thanks), development is being hosted at <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/dlanger\/simple-slideshow\/\">github<\/a> - grab the most up-to-date source from there and send me a pull\nrequest with your change.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>1.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>First public release.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added internationalization support.<\/li>\n<li>Switched jQuery to local (from Google CDN) version.<\/li>\n<li>Added support for using the full Cycle plugin<\/li>\n<li>Upgraded version of Cycle Lite plugin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Refactored some internals<\/li>\n<li>Added auto-advancing slideshow support<\/li>\n<li>Controls are now their own CSS classes (thanks to ThomasBuxo)<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Easily add a clean jQuery-powered slideshow to your site.
