xili-floom-slideshow integrates the Floom slideshow in wordpress theme.

Floom slideshow designed by Oskar Krawczyk under MIT license is wonderful and amazing. For integration inside wordpress, it can be awesome ! xili-floom-slideshow tries to install it automatically but also allows personalizations.

How it works ?

xili-floom-slideshow inserts the javascript and css file inside the header of the theme. The images attached (but not inserted) to a post (or a page) are listed for the slideshow. And after adding a [xilifloom] shortcode inside the content of the post, the slideshow of the images of the gallery are automatically displayed. With the dashboard Settings page, it is possible to change some properties of the slideshow without changing the original javascript: by example, number of vertical 'venitian' blinds, speed, progress bar, visible captions, and more. Some properties can be attached to one post by using custom fields.

new 0.9.3

Gold parameters added : ready to integrate a new child class of Floom see this post. Open to better events exchanged with theme UI. More modularity and possibility of setting. (Gold options are reserved for theme designer and webmaster with sufficient knowledge in php, js,...) CAUTION: after upgrading, if floom_subname is used in custom fields of some posts, to retrieve the images series, the wildcard must be wrapped with one or two chars '%' as in LIKE of sql query.

0.9.2

• add for pictures order by menu_order. If order is set in gallery linked to a post, displayed series is ordered by these numbers ascendant.
• more parameters.
• add hooks and filters : to allow better selection of floom values and choice of series of images (not necessary attached to a post) according the theme or cms architecture, two filters was added : xili_floom_get_values and xili_floom_get_images insertable in functions inside functions.php of the current theme. Very useful to personalize header according place inside the site architecture. example

prerequisite

• If others plugins use mootools, some modifications must be done through a added function named xilifloom_theme_header() inside functions.php.
• Images for a slideshow must be selected with great precaution. (Same size adapted to the frame)
