WP-poker uses NivoSlider for slider on pages.
For easy use of slider , I have created a shortcode for NivoSlider.
You can call Slider on any page of post by writing the below shortcode.
[nivoslider]
If you do not pass any parameter , it will slide your latest 5 posts. It will grab featured posts attached to those posts. If no featured post is found , it will display a blank image.
You can customize the slider to suit your needs.
Parameters for sliders are
- category
Default : null (grabs latest posts)
you can provide name or category of id you want post’s images to come from.
for example: if you want posts from Design category in the slider , you would write.
[nivoslider category=design] - numposts
Default : 5 (shows 5 slides)
you can provide number of slides you want in the slider.
for example: if you want 7 slides(Posts images) from design category, you would write.
[nivoslider category=design numposts=7] - imgwidth
Default : 910 (full width container)
you can define width of image by this parameter , it would also apply on slider container.
It is programmed in such a way that it automatically fits on Full width page template and on Default page template (with sidebar).
for example: if you want slider width of 300 , you would write.
[nivoslider category=design imgwidth=300] - imgheight
Default : 300
you can define height of image by this parameter.
for example: if you want slider height of 200 , you would write.
[nivoslider category=design imgwidth=200] - effect
Default : fold
you can set the slider transition effect by using this parameter.
Possible values are :
-fold
-fade
-sliceDown
-random
for example: if you want slider with fade effect, you would write.
[nivoslider category=design effect=fade] - pause
Default : 5000
you can set pause time of slides by using this parameter. This value is in milliseconds , so if you write 10000 , that would mean 10 seconds hold time for the slides.
for example: if you want slide to hold for 4 seconds, you would write.
[nivoslider category=design pause=7000] - Speed
Default : 800
Same thing as the Pause parameter , this parameter is for speed of transition of the slide.
for example: if you want slides to transit slowly, you would write.
[nivoslider category=design speed=1200] - zoomcrop
Default : center
This parameter sets the rule for cropping the image used as slide (timthumb).
Possible values are :
-top
-bottom
-center
-right
for example: if you want top area of image to be shown in the slide, you would write.
[nivoslider category=design zoomcrop=top] - showcaption
Default : true
This parameter can be used to show or hide the captions shown in slider.
Possible values are :
-true
-false
for example: if you do not want the captions, you would write.
[nivoslider category=design showcaption=false]
