I’m afraid I’m not sure what you mean about the links to individual slides… The anchor links do provide direct linkability for each slide. For instance, if you were to visit http://myers-company.com/success/#2, the page would automatically redirect to that slide after a very brief delay while the page loads. Is that what you are after?
As to a slider using categories, do you mean that each slide would be a different post within the category? That might be a little out of scope for this plugin, but might make an interesting plugin to build in the future…
I’m intrested in the same feature
it’s like this spencejosiah
if you have 4 slide
instead of << 2 of 4 >>
if here could be a button besides next and previous for each page
like this: << 1 2 3 4 >>
Also i use the bottom insert and when i push next it stays there not jumping to the top. I need to manually scroll back to the top
And one more feature that should be implemented
a loading animation after you press next cause sometimes it just stays there without knowing if i pushed the right button or not :\
Thank you so much for this plugin, it’s very handy.
Offtopic: owlicks how did you got your top menu to float like that?
spencejosiah – Thanks for the quick reply. I should have explained better. When the page is updated, the newest sections are going to be first. Therefore with the linking system as it is now, I can’t rely on the /parent/#2, /parent/#3 numbering system. Each URL will be pushed back one number whenever a new post is put up front. Thus, I wanted to be able to link to the actual embedded ID number, as opposed to the arbitrary slide numbers that the slider makes…
vienezul – Do you mean the navigation for the slider or the top menu on the page? The top menu is just built in to some skin for Thesis that the original maker used. Truth be told, I’ve hated using Thesis with a passion. But anyway, you should be able to do it with some simple CSS.
Owlicks – I see what you mean now. The reason the slides are numbered as they currently are is that the slider adapts WordPress’ built-in pagination system, which itself uses numbers for the individual pages (e.g. If you were to deactivate my plugin and use the native WordPress feature, the URL would simply change from http://myers-company.com/success/#2 to http://myers-company.com/success/2 – No hashtag.)
Looking at your example, it looks like you may want to consider using a custom post type for your Success Stories and an Ajax enabled theme to page between them. I think that might take better advantage of WordPress’ capabilities than adding new slides to a single page. I hope that helps.
vienezul – I did consider offering a << 1 2 3 4 >> option for navigation, but it would be pretty difficult to implement gracefully… Maybe if I have some good free time in the future I will see about adding it.
Actually, not having the page jump to the top on a new slide is meant to be a feature. I will probably tinker with dfferent ways of dealing with it in the next version.
A loading animation is a pretty good idea.
