   Hi guys!

   I've been commissioned to incorporate a slideshow into WordPress, one with very specific requirements. The problem is, I'm not a jQuery developer, so this is beyond me.

   The client wants:

   1. to be able to specify which case studies are displayed in the slideshow;
   2. to have the transition to be controllable by the person viewing the site – so they click a radio buttons (the "bullet point" navigation) and the image slides to the relevant case study;
   3. the transition to be a fade or swipe in / swipe out — not sure which will work best.

   Within the slideshow, I'll need to display several elements, including the featured image for the Page or Post, a title with anchor and a snippet (or sample text).

   If anyone knows of a slideshow script or Plugin that can handle this, please do reply!

   I don't know of a plugin offhand, but if you don't mind doing a little hand coding, here's a tutorial that does what it sounds like you're looking for:

   Hi Kionae,

   The demo link is re-directing to the website itself and the download is just a 404.

   Thanks all the same.

   jFlow isn't really that hard to find. I've used it on several projects, even though the original developer's site has vanished.

   I also recently did something similar with jCarousel:

   Without knowing what it was, I had no idea where to look, or what to look for.

   Anyway, those links help, so I'll pick this up in the new year.

   Thanks again.
