[Plugin: Custom Field Template] Multiple image slidshows in one post

  • Hey Gang,
    I’m trying to figure how to achieve the following using the Custom Field Template:
    In a single post there will be five or so tabs, for each tab there will be the following:

    1. Text summary area (textarea + tinyMCE);

    2. Slideshow of images (for each slideshow within the tab, there will be
    a. no thumbnails
    b. each slideshow will have however many images as the user enters (not the same amount for each slideshow)
    c. I’d like pagination for each slideshow in the form of either ‘prev & next’ or ‘1 of #however many’)
    d. each image will also have a caption & alt text

    #1 is easy, but #2, the slideshow within each tab within a single post, is what I’m having issues with. I can get the fields to show up in the Post Write Panel, but am not sure on how to get them (duplicated fields and/or field groups) to show up on the post. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

    (I’m using WP 3 beta.)
    Also, this plugin is top-notch!

  • Hi riasaurusrex,

    I’ve done somthing similar. I’ve used comma seperated image ids and just used a text field. From the Front end, the template file just explodes the inputted data and the caption data, alt text is pulled from the post-attachment.

    I would reach for the NextGen Gallery plugin for this kind of thing. I am not sure how you’d go with pagination with the CFT alone. The NextGen Gallery plugin is one of the best.
