Combo Slideshow free WordPress plugin
Description
Combo Slideshow free WordPress plugin
Combo Slideshow is a photo and image viewing mash-up plugin that integrates the features of the acclaimed jQuery based javascript slideshow Nivo Slider
with multiple settings, transition effects and a compatible fallback to the MooTools framework for older or outdated setups.
It works natively in conjunction with the WordPress media library.
Enjoy:
Full control over speed, transition and navigation options
Nivo Slider slideshow themes supported, 3 preset available
Custom CSS supported
Lightbox, FancyBox, MultiBox and custom class names supported
Navigation Arrows (jQuery) and Tips (MooTools)
Auto insertion of latest posts (taxonomy-based) slideshow in home or single page/post
Custom slides management
Page/Post gallery shortcode [slideshow] (with optional post_id, custom, exclude, exclude, and auto parameters)
Hardcode into any PHP file of a WordPress theme with slideshow($output = true, $post_id, $exclude, $include, $custom, $width, $height, $thumbs, $caption, $auto, $nolink, $slug, $limit, $size); } ?> and the required $post_id or $custom parameters accordingly specified
Global post slideshow: auto mode in Homepage and/or Posts + manual function show_combo_slider($terms, $postlimit, $exclude, $offset, $n_slices, $size, $width, $height, $taxonomies, $post_types)
Administration and Settings have been completely renewed!
(whereas in previous versions they were heavily borrowed from the Slideshow Gallery Pro plugin (free version) by Cameron Preston and WP Nivo Slider by Rafael Cirolini)
The selectable front-end effect scripts are the Nivo Slider plugin (on jQuery framework) or SlideShow by Ryan Florence (on MooTools).
It works great in conjunction with the Gallery Metabox plugin.
