In reply to: Help creating a custom slideshowTry again. I was working on the slideshow from work when I posted this, then last night I pulled the functions.php file from the ftp and started working on it from home. When I re-uploaded, something happened and I corrupted my functions.php on the host, and through a series of stupid events, lost my local copy as well. So my functions.php was completely blank until I got back to work this morning to re-upload. It’s all better now.

In reply to: Help creating a custom slideshowThat’s a really good idea! Unfortunately, I have taken this a completely different direction. I just us
wp_get_attachment_image()to get the images that are attached to the pages, then display them on the page with the custom shortcode[start_slideshow]I styled that to be semi-pretty and accessible, then fancied it up more with jquery.What I would love is to have a simple button in the add media window that lets me customize and place the shortcode, but I am unsure at this point if that’s necessary now. The client and I are deciding if we will need these slideshows in blog posts, or just the pages. If they stay only on the pages, there will be no need for the client to add shortcode for it. So for now, we wait.
Here is the test site. It’s got a long ways to go, so don’t judge too harshly :p Test-Site

In reply to: Help creating a custom slideshowThanks so much for that help. I got it all working last night, and it’s working phenominally. I ended up creating a shortcode that pulls the attached images and prints them in the apropriate HTML.
Now, the only thing I would like to do is add a button in the “Add Media” Window next to the “Insert Gallery” Button. It would simply say “Insert Slideshow”, and it would just attach the shortcode for the slideshow. Any direction on that one?

In reply to: Help creating a custom slideshowThanks David! That looks like an awesome option. But now I am really curious how to start integrating my own JQUERY slideshow into the control panel. Any recommendations where I can start looking to learn how to do that myself?

In reply to: Help creating a custom slideshow@DigitalRaindrops: Thanks! If I go the plugin route, I will look into that.
@esmi: No. I simply looked at it with the limited information and screenshots that was there. But again, I would like to avoid plugins in the first place. I am toying with custom building something right now. If that proves too difficult, I will look into plugins, and I will look at yours.

In reply to: Help creating a custom slideshowThanks Esmi, but as I mentioned above, I don’t really want to use plugins if I can avoid it, and that doesn’t really give the client the easy control I am looking for.

In reply to: Help creating a custom slideshowThanks so much for the prompt reply.
It’s not so much that I don’t want to do this (I love this stuff), but I don’t know how to best integrate it so it’s easy for the client to update it. I have zero experience with integrating that sort of thing with WordPress, but I do look forward to learning it.

In reply to: Loading child pages into parent pageSo I can use the link above to display the array of children pages. That works great, but I have no idea how to take the output of that and turn it into a loop that will display the title and content of each child page. My looping skills are weak.

In reply to: Loading child pages into parent pageJust a note of progress. I found this , and am investigating how to use it to do what I need. If someone wants to help, I would be very thankful.

In reply to: Can't get gallery to display images instead of thumbnailsOK. I just found the shortcode [gallery size="full"] will make it post full images instead of thumbnails… that’s great! But how do I make a gallery inserted through the admin panel print that shortcode by default?
