[Plugin: Feature Slideshow] Not compatible with other plugins

Hi,

this was a jQuery conflict in the adminpanel (stupid mistake by me). Switched to using wordpress’ own version of jQuery (in noconflict mode) now, in the back-end. Should be working now.

Having trouble getting it to work. The viewer is visible on the page, but won’t scroll between images. Are there image requirements that I’m missing? Also, the text overlay is actually the beginning of the next post (ie, I have it set to display 4 posts, the text overlay is the beginning of the 5th post). Any thoughts?

Have you included jQuery yourself in your theme? If jQuery is not included right (should be done with wp_enqueue_script), it might crash. Another plugin including jQuery the wrong way might also crash it.

For both problems I would recommend trying to deactivate all your other plugins. If it works then, try activating them one at a time.

If another plugin is the problem, please tell me which and I’ll look into it.

Thanks for the reply. The plugin wp e-commerce doesn’t seem to be compatible. Thanks for looking into it!

Updated the plugin fixing some bugs now. (havent’ had a chance to look into e-commerce yet, sorry).

There are too many bugs right now, so I’ll rewrite the entire plugin, using my own jQuery code (insted of basing it on Feature List).

I’ll also put in some new requested options like more css options, resizable tabs bar, auto play on/off etc.

Gonna put an effort in it to get it done some time now around xmas.

No problem, don’t apologize. Thanks for looking into it.

Hi Bakke,

Just wondering if you’ve had a chance to rewrite this plugin?

I think it is a fantastic plugin, but unfortunately is not compatible with the Atahualpa theme.

I’m happy to do any beta testing if you need?

Thanks,

Adam

yes I’ve started, but I’ve had alot to do lately, so I’m not finished yet, sorry. But I have put an effort in trying to make it compatible with themes that uses a lot of jQuery and prevent collisions here. I’ve also changed the way you upload images, so that you have a custom meta box for doing this, where you also can write in the excerpt, overlay text and so on. I have got alot of request about the plugin, so I’m trying to cover as many as I can.

Hope it’ll be out soon ??

Fantastic, can’t wait to see it!

I really love this plugin because of the simplicity of picking the latest featured image. So many other similar slideshow plugins require custom fields to be setup – I like the way your plugin pulls the latest posts/images automatically.

It is really useful for front-page news feeds.

New version now. I’ve been pretty busy at the moment, so I didn’t get to spend as much time on it as I wanted, but I hope it’s good ??

how to insert feature-slideshow plugins into home page

my home.php containing this code :

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php if (get_option(‘lumin_homedesc’) <> ”) { ?>

<p id=”slogan-phrase”><?php echo(get_option(‘lumin_homedesc’)); ?></p>

<?php }; ?>

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/includes/default.php’); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Use the php-code: feature_slideshow_init();

Hi Bakke.

First of all I want to apologize for posting this thread into this conversation, but I haven’t found another way to contact Bakke.

If we can continue this thread by email or by any other way, please let me know.

I have some questions for Bakke related to the slideshow plugin for featured images.

In my wordpress site https://www.victorenrich.com

I have installed another plugin that let’s each post have MULTIPLE featured images.
Which I divide in “Featured Image” and “Support Image 1” “Support Image 2” etc…
I can create as many Support Images I want, by addind them in the functions.php file.

Basically I would like to use the slideshow in 2 different ways:

1.- for the home page and some category pages I would like to use the slideshow for showing the FIRST featured image of each post belonging to that category.

2.- For each post I would like to use it only for the featured images inside that specific post.

So I have 2 questions regarding this.

Is it possible to make it work like specified above?

So for the category.php template
I’ll be able to add the php code to the category template a so I won’t need to specify the category of the posts displayed and the images will be taken from the posts in that category ID that, that we are visiting?
In this case, the images to show would be only the “Featured images” of each post.

Same for the post template.
Is it possible to add the code into the post template so the slideshow detects the POST ID and displayes both the “featured image” and “support image 1, 2, 3,4 ETC” ?

Thanks for your answer.
