Easy BXSlider vs Zaki Post Slide Widget

Taking the BXSlider to the next level for WordPress! Easy to update and maintain slides, as simple as adding and removing pages to your WordPress site – that is it! This plugin is layered on top of (read as they are required) two separate plugin’s, plus the ability to join them together and make that all work as a simple system… The best thing is that you are not limited to the number of sliders per page, you can have as many as you want! The plugin is based on the premise that you create a hierarchy of pages, and the plugin will read the pages BELOW (has Parent of) the referenced page in the “ref” tag. The plugin will get the pages and dynamically add them to the slider for you, no counting pages or needing to manually adjust the slider when you want to change content. Why should I use this plugin? Single shortcode – fast implementation time Powerful, yet simplistic in use No learning curve to use of this plugin – just use it to enhance/simplify your usage of BXSlider Example of usage: [ez_slide parent=”1043″] -> optional shortcode-> [/ez_slide] This insertion would take all pages below (has Parent of) page 1043 (found at the end of your Permalink when editing pages): — Main Page —— Slider Reference Page (1043 above) ——— Slide 1 ——— Slide 2 ——— Slide 3 ——— Slide X The above is the structure I use in order to keep track of things cleanly, your reference can be anything that has sub-pages – even the main page. It is up to you. Sorting: The plugin, by default, inserts slides according to the name they hold, in ASC order. I use Slide_1, Slide_2, etc in order to make sure I know what slide come next. Shortcode parameters: ref: The referecne to the page that is the Parent (ex: 1043 above) {default = 1000} sorting: “ASC|DESC”. The sort type you want {default = ASC} sort_column: “column name”. Sort the column you want to have the slides sorted on. {default = title} EX: [ez_slide parent=”1043″ sorting=”ASC” sort_column=”ID”] Plese see the Insert Pages plugin page for the specs on what each options means. Pass them in this manor: Insert Pages Options (optional): Send as: display=”title|link|content|all|{custom-template.php}” {default = content} EX: [ez_slide parent=”1043″ display=”title”] REQUIRED INSTALL If you do not install them, I can not call them 🙂 1.
