Carousel Wordpress Plugin
This plugin was commissioned by a client. The code base for the carousel came from a Cnet who generously provide an Open Source MIT license. Please use the comments to make suggestions for updated versions, or contact me directly.
Instructions
- Download plugin
- Use Wordpress Plugin installer, or:
- Unzip to local directory
- Upload to your plugins directory
- On Wordpress administrative panel, go to ‘Carousel’ tool group and create a new carousel, and enter data as indicated.
- In a post or page, insert the code
[carousel name='NAME'], with the name of your carousel inserted in place of NAME, or - if you prefer to insert inside a template you can call the carousel using the following php code:
<?php print do_shortcode("[carousel name='NAME'["); ?>
If you like this plugin, please give this page, or this site a shout out on Digg, Twitter, thumbs-up on StumbleUpon, or whatever you use. Thanks.
Dude – you really, really need to put this out on Wordpress.org. This is light years better than anything currently on that site. I had been messing around for 4 days trying to get the stupid Yahoo carousel widget working – gave up and literally stumbled upon this.
Good work!
Is there a way to increase the number of slides that are included in the carousel or are you limited to 7 total?
There is not a quick and configurable way to increase the number of slides, but someone with php skills could modify the plugin to add more slides. I developed the carousel’s functionality to provide a quick orientation to a site, not as a slide show.
Very very Nice & Easy to install , You done Very Good Job Thank You So much
Hello Simon
I was using the plugin for several days and was working fine.
Two days ago I tried to “edit carousel” to save changes but didn’t work
I delete the last plugins, saw the source code (manage page of the plugin), and delete and copy this plugin again and still don’t save the changes.
Have a good day,
Javier
hey, nice Plugin. In next Version i will wish that I can put “sites” into the slider. I hope you know what i mean
