Add date to smooth slider

Any body?

Nest version of Smooth Slider will have option to display publish date as well as post category. The update is expected to release in a week. Thanks for your patience.

Any idea when this will be released, haven’t seen any update. Thanks

I am wondering if this is gonna be released soon, If not could someone send me the code to alter current slider? Thank you.

I hate to be a pest, because I really like how this slider works, unfortunately I need to show the post date in the slides. As you can see its been more than a week, and I really need this to work. Thank you.

Take it no ther is not gonna be am update?

Why won’t anyone help on this subject? It’s been over a month since the post about an update to add this function.

I wish this person wouldn’t had lied to me about an update, and that they had some sort of support for this plugin, because it is a nice plugin, but without support or even corispondence it makes it worthless. I would even pay for the two minutes it would take for someone to help me add the date to the slides, using the widget. But I guess I should have spent the last 2 months looking for a different slider from a different company. Was even thinking of spending the $8 to get the roster slider, but don’t think I like the fact that there is no support. It’s a shame, looked like they could have had a good thing going here.

any body!?

nothing?!

To add a date, you’ll need to edit this file:

/wp-content/plugins/smooth-slider/slider_versions/smooth_1.php

Find this section:

foreach($posts as $post) {
$post_id = $post->ID;

Directly below it, add:

$post_date = $post->post_date;

Find this section:

if($permalink!='') {
$html .= '<h2 '.$smooth_slider_css['smooth_slider_h2'].'><a '.$smooth_slider_css['smooth_slider_h2_a'].' href="'.$permalink.'">'.$post_title.'</a></h2><span '.$smooth_slider_css['smooth_slider_span'].'> '.$slider_excerpt.'</span>

Using HTML and the $post_date variable, add the date somewhere within that code. I added mine after the </h2> tag and before the <span> tag.

There’s some similar code in the following ‘else’ statement. Consider adding your date there too.

If you want to add the author, do a similar thing using $post->post_author.
