I spent the last two days reading up on how to create plugins and i successfully done it! Yay!
If anyone has heard of the jQuery Cycle Plugin from Mike Alsup, i created a plugin which lets you control everything aside from the pager (Although it will be simple enough to add).
If anyone would be interested in it i can release it... After i have tidied the code up though :\
Plugin Name: SimpleSlideshow (May be subject to change)
Plugin features: - Upload and Manage Images. - Change Rotation Speed, Transition Speed. - Change the Width and Height of the Slideshow. - Select 1 of 26 Transition Effects. Download SimpleSlideshow V 1.0 I will be adding a support page to it when i have some free time.
Next plugin on the list is turning my Gallery(100% coded by myself) into an E107 Plugin. So im getting excited in seeing that one come to life!
Alright Moc, thanks for the post, I just spent a wee bit of time going through each page making sure the code is tidy... First public release of any of my coding projects, so i want to be sure its nice and tidy
Sorry, forgot to mention that the slideshow is on its own page. In version 1.1, i plan to have the option to add it to any page you want and also have the option to have it in a menu. On top of that, it will allow you to have more than 1 slideshow.
I will work on version 1.1 after my gallery plugin
The only issue i had found with it is when the jQuery library is called in 2 times. The plugin calls the jQuery library on that page, but if your already calling the latest jQuery library from your theme, go into jsSources.php and remove the jquery-latest script line. That should hopefully do the trick.
