Installation

There are two ways to install this plugin. But both start with downloading the plugin and getting the login information of your FTP account. As I am very lazy writing documentations I’ll only describe the easiest one. So let’s start:

1. First you need to login to your backend: http://example.org/wp-admin
2. Then you navigate to Plugins -> Add New
3. There you can read: “Install a plugin in .zip format” click on the browse button.
4. Now find the previously downloaded faq.zip.
5. Click on install now.
6. You will be asked if you want to activate the plugin, click on it.

That’s the whole installation of the plugin. Now you can use it.

Getting started

Hopefully you got the plugin up and running. Now you need to configure it for your needs. There are lots of things which can be configured so let’s get started.

Backend

There are a few options you can set in your backend therefore you click on the Pay For Posts item in your settings menu. The pay for posts plugin needs an activated PayPal API and your API credetials. You also must set the API endpoint and the PayPal URL which are good for testing purposes. If you want to test this plugin simply go to developer.paypal.com and create a sandbox account.

If you need a custom PayPal Button simply set the complete URL in the field “PayPal Button URL” it is optional.

There is also a feedback function implemented so if you have “Feedback Page” where people can comment there thoughts about the payment process you set the url in this field.

Templates

Before you use this plugin keep in mind that you get 3 new pages.

• Order overview
• Successful payment page
• Cancel payment page

Therefor the template engine of WordPress has been hacked so you can create this template files directly in your theme folder. As the plugin will look for pages with the names order.php, successful.php and cancel.php you must name your template files the same.

As you can see in the comments of the template files they are for the WordPress default theme. At the moment of writing there are just four template functions which can be used.

• the_price()
• get_the_price()
• the_token()
• the_submit_button()

Getting started

Let’s now create the first post with a faq container in it. Click on Posts -> Add New and give it some dummy information. When you’re in the text area you have a very simple markup for your faq’s:

[ faqs] // Here you define a new tab container

[ faq q="A simple question goes in here."]
The answer in between the faq tags.
[ /faq]

[ faq q="Is there another question?"]
If so you can answer it here.
[ /tab]

[ /faqs]

Please notice that I let a space between “[" and for example "faq". This is just because I don't want it to be rendered - you must write it without a space!

Theming

Theming

You can override the standard css file by using the same definitions in your style.css with your rules. Another possibility is to download a theme from the jQuery Themeroller – be carefull what version of jQuery you use. And you can also use one of the many themes which I packed up with the plugin. Just take a look in the css folder of the plugin.

Getting Started

Let’s start by adding a new post. Give him a title, some demo content, a category and what else you used to do. You should also have some pictures you wanna see in this slideshow.

1. Step

After you added some images you like click again “Add an Image“. This time you don’t add an Image you just make shure that there are plenty pictures in your gallery:

This can/should be more than two images.

2. Step:

If you have enough images in your Gallery you just put the shortcode [ slide] somewhere in your post. Please make sure you don’t leave a space between “[" and "slide". I did it, otherwise the gallery would be shown in here.

Finish:

If you click on preview you should now see your slideshow. Of course there are no options set by now so you go to Media->Slideshow and change it to your default needs.

Options

Slideshow comes with a few but not too much options you can set in the options panel. Let's now take a detailed view on this options:

Dimensions

Height and Width of the slideshow should be self-explanatory.

Colors

Backcolor: A hex-coded color value for the background color of the navigation bar.
Frontcolor: A hex-coded color value for the color of the buttons on the navigation bar.
Lightcolor: A hex-coded color value for the mouse over effect of the buttons.
Screencolor: A hex-coded color value for the background/screen of the player.

Various

Watermark: Watermark means a logo which lays over the slideshow.
Rotationtime: The rotationtime is the interval a image will be shown till it fades and the next comes.
Transition: Transition means the transition between the images.
Randomly choose pictures: With that option you allow the slideshow to choose the pictures randomly.
Overstretch: If an image is smaller than the slideshow dimensions it will be scaled to the correct size.
Show navigation: With this option the navigation bar to switch between the images will be shown on mouse over.
Enable fullscreen mode: Here you enable the user to go fullscreen.
Start slideshow automatically: This option allows the plugin to play the images without a mouse click.

Shortcode options

Every above described option can also be set throw the shortcode directly. Here is a statement with all possible options:

[ slide id="1" with="123" height="345" backcolor="#222222" frontcolor="c0c0c0" lightcolor="#f2f2f2" screencolor="#ffffff" logo="http://example.org/full/url/to/image.jpg" rotationtime="20" transition="random" shuffle="true" overstretch="false" shownavigation="true" usefullscreen="true" autostart="true"]

Above in getting started I said you should set your default settings because all settings will be overriden and you don't need to set it again in this shortcode. This is mostly used if you want other dimensions of the slideshow, ...

There is also a new option you didn't have in your options panel:
ID: Here you can set the Post ID of a post that contains a gallery. This options overrides the own gallery and uses a gallery which is defined by the Post ID.

Beside ID there are also 3 other options which can be set in the shortcode:
Audio: Here you can pass the full URL to a *.mp3 file which will be played when the slideshow starts.
Flickr: The option flickr needs a full URL to a flickr RSS-feed eg. a photoset.
Picasa: Needs a full URL to a picasa web RSS-feed.

Template function

WordPress Gallery Slideshow delivers furthermore a template function. This function you can use eg. in your templates, sidebar, ...

if ( function_exists( 'show_slideshow' ) ) {
show_slideshow( "OPTIONS" );
}

Here you can use all options like you use it in the shortcode. The only difference is how you have to divide the options. In the shortcode you just make a space an write the next option. The template function uses a | as divider and you don't need to set everything in quotes:

if ( function_exists( 'show_slideshow' ) ) {
show_slideshow( "height=320|width=480|flickr=http://example.org/url/to/flickr/rss/feed" );
}
