I only know how to do it manually, but I’d like to be able to control it through the admin so my clients can edit the content themselves…

Hello Pixelwiz,
can you tell us how you made this manually?
Thanks
Basically, I first created a stand-alone page for testing:
http://thejupiterchiropractor.com/wp-content/themes/Remedy-Chiropractic/test.php
After it looked the way I wanted, I found the spot on the home.php page where the default slider was being included, deleted it and pasted the code from the test page.
The only thing is, if your theme already uses jQuery, you don’t need to include it again.
I had to make a couple of minor CSS adjustments to get it to fit properly (centered correctly and change height/width). All it all didn’t take very long.
What I really want to do it have it as a plug-in, so that my client can change the pictures and content on his own. But that would require learning this:
http://new2wp.com/pro/part-3-making-a-dynamic-wordpress-jquery-featured-post-slider-tutorial-finale/ I’ve never done a plug-in before. But sounds doable, just need to figure out how to enter the content as posts, and then do a query and a loop to replace the HTML parts.
Hi guys/gals,
I am currently working on building a Slidorion plugin for WordPress.
It’s been a long time working, but I am currently working on adding some improvements to the original plugin, so when that’s done, I’ll release the plugin for WP.
I’ll make sure to keep everyone posted 🙂
Awesome thanks, I really like how it works and would love to use it easily on new sites as well as let clients make edits themselves.
