Hello integrious,

I appreciate your feedback and sorry to hear about your plight. 🙁 I included a note regarding the templates “Note: The templates for version 1.1.0 is not compatible with templates from version 1.0.6 and below” but yes it wasnt mentioned in wordpress auto-update area (my bad) but that was unintentional mistake.

With regards to the child themes, there is no mention about the plugin supporting child themes. I will consider adding it on the next release though. Thanks for mentioning it.

I will not provide a fallback to previous template system as its too much to maintain at this time. I believe, the new template system is better and will benefit the user base in the long run.

FYI, you can always rollback to a previous version by going to wordpress svn http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cyclone-slider/developers/ and use whichever works for you.

regards

Hello lobobrandon,

Yes there are new templates. That means there are more choices for your slideshow’s appearance. You can check the demos at http://www.codefleet.net/cyclone-slider/demos/ to see what I mean.

The transitions stays the same (fade, etc). The templates takes care of how the slideshow will look. Right now there are 5 templates: default, black, blue, myrtle, and responsive. To use a template simply add the template attribute to your shortcode.

Examples:

Using the black template:
[cycloneslider id="your-slidehow-id-here" template="black"]

Using the blue template:
[cycloneslider id="your-slidehow-id-here" template="blue"]

Using the myrtle template:
[cycloneslider id="your-slidehow-id-here" template="myrtle"]

Using the responsive template:
[cycloneslider id="your-slidehow-id-here" template="responsive"]

If you didn’t provide the template attribute, it will use the default template:
[cycloneslider id="your-slidehow-id-here"]

Note: Change your-slidehow-id-here to your actual slideshow ID.

Hope that helps.

And thank you for the 5 star rating! Its very much appreciated. 🙂

Cheers,
kosinix

You can use wordpress do_shortcode function inside template files.
Example:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[cycloneslider id="my-slideshow"]'); ?>

The prev/next arrows use white images. To change it to black create black arrow images and update your style.css. See my previous post.

Hello,

Was the image in the media gallery deleted prior to this?

Hello MalcV

I have found the problem. Bug happens after deleting a slide, the title and descriptions will be out of sync. Please update to version 1.0.6 of the plugin. After which go to the edit slideshow area and hit the blue Update button. The slide data should now be in sync.

Hello,

Thanks for using it. Hmm Im not sure what exactly is happening. Im guessing conflicts with other plugins using the thickbox uploader. Try deactivating other plugins one at time and see if it works.

Thanks
