JJ NextGen JQuery Carousel for WordPress Plugin Directory

The ‘JJ NextGen JQuery Carousel’ allows you to create a ‘JCarousel’ (http://sorgalla.com/projects/jcarousel/) as a widget or as a shortcode.

This plugin uses the ‘NextGen Gallery’ plugin for its images.

Requirements:

NextGen Gallery Plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/)

NextGen Gallery Integration:

This plugin uses the original width and height of the image uploaded so make sure the images are the correct dimensions when uploaded.

If a width and height are defined under the configuration all images will be resized to those dimensions (Highly recommended).

Alt & Title Text Field: Provide a full url here and the image will link to this. Only works if alt field starts with either of these; /, http, or ftp.

Description Field: Will be used as image alt text. If alt text is present but not a valid url alt text will be used instead for image alt text.

You can specify the following parameters:

NOTE: sc means shortcode:

Title: Title. Leave blank for no title. (sc: title=”My Carousel”)

Gallery: Leave blank to use all galleries or choose a gallery to use. (sc: gallery=”galleryid”)

Order: Order to display results in. You can choose; Random, Latest First, Oldest First, or NextGen Sortorder. Random will still work when a page is cached. (sc: order=”random”|”asc”|”desc”|”sortorder”)

Shuffle: If order is random and this is true will shuffle images with javascript. Useful if your are caching your pages. (sc: shuffle=”true”|”false”)

Max pictures: The maximum amount of pictures to use. (sc: max_pictures=”6″)

HTML id: HTML id to use. Defaults to ‘jcarousel’. Needs to be different for multiple instances on same page. (sc: html_id=”jcarousel”)

Skin class: Class of skinning to use. Defaults to use the tango skin. (sc: skin_class=”jcarousel-skin-tango”)

Image width: Width of image. Defaults to 75. (sc: width=”200″)

Image height: Height of image. Defaults to 75. (sc: height=”150″)
