## Description

Dojo-powered carousel plugin for WordPress. Initially started out as a modification
of XEN Carousel, but I made so many edits (and switched JS backend to Dojo) that
no code of the original plugin remains.

Showcase images on the front of your site, with arbitrary links

Dojo powered (all other WP plugins seem to be JQuery-based)

Graceful fallback behavior (if JS is not enabled then static first image w/ link
is still visible)

Navigation for quick jumping (ala Steam showcase)

In its current state, integration requires some measure of manual setup. Please 
be patient (and submit requests) as later updates will bring smoother install.

Please see http://bitbucket.org/sirpengi/zen-carousel/ for latest code, reporting
bugs or requesting features.

## Installation

 1. Install plugin through WordPress interface or by extracting files to `/wp-content/
    plugins/`
 2. Activate plugin through ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Visit admin page, a new section ‘Carousel’ in the sidebar should lead you to configuration
    page.
 4. Please make sure ‘Use CDN’ is checked (This will pull Dojo library from google 
    CDN, if you already include Dojo in your page through other means, leave this unchecked).
 5. Set width/height dimensions of your carousel.
 6. Input data (this is currently done through a manual textarea field, see ‘Faq’ for
    syntax.
 7. Add `<?php zencarousel::renderHTML(); ?>` in your theme where you want the carousel
    to be.

## FAQ

  Options

Use Dojo CDN: check unless your theme already includes Dojo
 Carousel Width: width
of carousel Carousel Height: height of carousel

  Carousel Setup

The setup uses the following line format:

    ```
    <Image url> <Link to> <Title>
    <Image url> is the url (absolute or relative) to the image
    <Link to> is the url that clicking this photo will lead to.
    <Title> for accessibility, shows up as tooltip for image/link
    ```

Separate each value with a space. The code only splits into three parts so spaces
in the ‘Title’ are allowed.

For example:

    ```
    http://domain.com/image/slide1.png http://domain.com/coolpage/ This is my cool page
    http://domain.com/image/slide2.png http://domain.com/coolpage2/ This is my 2nd cool page
    http://domain.com/image/slide3.png http://domain.com/coolpage3/ This is my 3rd cool page
    ```
