Content Slideshow

Опис

This plugin creates a fullscreen slideshow that displays randomly-selected pictures from your media library. Designed to display pictures related to your business/organization in the background at an event or in your office, there is no need to configure any settings or controls. Image captions/descriptions are automatically displayed as well, and can be configured based on your needs.

Once activated, you can view the slideshow by visiting http://yourdomain.com/slideshow. All JPEG images will be displayed (since .jpg is best for pictures, while .png and .gif are typically used for graphics).

Please note that it is not currently possible to pause the slideshow or go back; the slideshow is not designed for personal viewing. However, clicking/tapping on the image will open its attachment page in a new tab, allowing images to be contextualized or edited easily.

The slideshow can also be embedded into your site via a widget or a shortcode.

You can control some options by adjusting the url of the slideshow. Parameters are controlled via query string (and widget options and shortcode attributes).

  • size is the size of the image to load, either thumbnail (discouraged), medium, large, full, or auto, which uses medium or large depending on wp_is_mobile().
  • year is the 4-digit numeric year in which the images were published.
  • month is the numeric month in which the images were published (between 1 and 12), typically but not necessarily used in conjunction with year.
  • mode defines a subset of images to use, such as featured for featured images only.
  • captions controls the captions display: either auto, none, title, titlecaption, caption, or description. Caption data is read from the image attachment post and can be updated in the media library.

Using all options, for example:
http://example.com/slideshow?size=full&year=2014&month=4&mode=featured&captions=titlecaption

You can see it in action here.

Часті питання

Where’s the settings page?

For simplicity’s sake, no settings page is included. Settings for this plugin tend to depend on the exact situation in which you are using it, so rather than going to the setting page every time you want to use it, you can adjust the parameters via tweaks to the slideshow url (see details below).

What happened to my page at /slideshow?

This plugin overrides WordPress at the slideshow/ url. If you have a post/page with that slug, it will no longer be accessible on the front-end. This may be desired; for example, you could create an empty slideshow page so that you have a record of the plugin’s presence and can more easily add it to navigation menus. You don’t have to have a page thee, though, and you can manually add the slideshow URL to your navigation menus.

Loading higher quality images

You can force the plugin to always show the highest resolution pictures available by using the size query argument (http://example.com/slideshow?size=full). Note that this could cause speed issues with loading the images if your internet connection or your web server is slow.

Loading images from a specific time frame

The plugin supports year and month parameters that can be used to only show images uploaded in a given time period (see the description for an example).

Using the Shortcode

The shortcode version supports all four parameters that the full URL version supports, as attributes:
[content_slideshow size=”medium” year=”2014″ month=”1″ mode=”featured”]

Журнал змін

2.4.1

  • Fix missing file in 2.4 release package.

2.4

  • Add code comments for the slideshow JS.

2.3

  • Add a “featured” mode to only show featured images.
  • Add options to configure the captions display, including UI options in the widget controls.

  • Fix keyboard accessibility so that only the visible image can be focused with the keyboard.

2.1

  • Add support for selective refresh in the customizer preview, available in WordPress 4.5.

  • The slideshow is now JavaScript-driven. Images should load faster with smoother transitions between them, but the initial load time will be slower. The slideshow page will reload itself much less often now.
  • The delay query arg has been removed.
  • Fix WordPress 4.3 compatibility.
  • Add translations.
