[Plugin: AnythingSlider for WordPress] Latest update

Hey Jacob,

I was having trouble with showMultiple=2. I tried various capitalizations and quotes and other things, but they didn’t work either. Would you mind taking a look when you get the chance?

Thanks!

Best,

Alex

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for the great plugin. However i am coming across a problem wicht i tried to solve but am not able to find a solution. Let me show you the structure of my divs.

<div class="sliderWrapper">
<div class="sliderContent">
<div class="slider"> <-- this should be an ul instead ofdiv.-->
<ul id="slider-random number">

<li></li>
</div><--- end of slider
</div><-- end of sliderContent
</div><-- end of sliderwrapper

as you see the UL id with random numbers i want to change it to class slider which is not an div above the UL.

is there a way to change it ?

thanks in advance

Hey wingye,

What’s your goal for changing the div to a ul? I’m not sure I completely understand what you’re after.

Thanks,
Jacob

Hi Jacob,

My apologie for not explaining it well. The idea i have is like this. I have a slider with 100% width and 500px height. I want the slider to fit inside width and hight. So the sliderwrapper is my 100% width by 500px height. Inside sliderWrapper i have sliderContent where i can place navigation arrows and text etc. After the sliderContent i have ul class slider where the image should be 100% width. so the slider would go through the width of the browser. Its kinda hard to explain what i am trying to achieve.

But i hope this help a bit..

Thanks
Wing

Hello Jacob,
I’m trying to use this for a clients’ website. I want to be able to use regular posts for the slider. I can’t hand over a site where the client has to create another entry to feature a post in the slider. I started off reading up on Chis Coyers’ anything slider and ended up with this plugin. But it and others use a special post type that is separate from the regular posts. Any suggestions? I’m perfectly willing to customize the plugin code.. just don’t know how.
Thanks, -Matthew

Hey Matt,

The plugin isn’t setup for regular posts.

You can include the jQuery plugin on your own though to use regular posts. I believe there are a few others who have done the same thing.

Yeah.. I’m going to use Promotion Slider plugin for now.. but I don’t like it nearly as much. I got to see what happened when I changed the post type to ‘post’. It wasn’t pleasant. I will dig in to the pure jquery version of Anythingslider after I have the site up and running. I really want to use it.. and I know it will be great to use in the future on other sites. I need to get better at custom loops first.
Thanks for the quick response!

Hi Jacob,

I was wondering if there was any progress on the anything slider plugin with regards to shortcode compatibility, the showMultiple=3 still doesnt work for me.

Also, I was wondering if there was any way of specifying the size of the slides in % rather than px form. The rest of my website is in elastic width, so it poses a problem when you resize etc..

Thanks!

Hmm this thread is all messed up…

Anyway @amillet, all you need to do is put AnythingSlider inside of an element with a percentage width and/or height and set the “expand” option to true.

Here is a demo with two sliders with a set percentage width (100% and 50% browser width respectively) and a fixed height

And another demo with the slider in a div with a percentage width and height.

Fixed.

Please DO NOT use ul or li tags outside of the CODE tags. You mess stuff up ??

Hi Mottie,

Thanks for the help, I fixed the expand element.

What about the shortcode for showMultiple, I am still not able to get that to work. Do you know what could be wrong?

Thanks!

Alex
