need a jcarousel plugin WordPress

  • SOLVED

Hi I am trying to find a plugin to do what I want without luck. Hoping you guys can point me in the right direction.

I want a plugin that outputs this: http://sorgalla.com/projects/jcarousel/examples/special_thickbox.html

1. I want a thickbox for the the larger images as shown in that demo. I do NOT want a larger image showing all the time. - just the slider bar with thickbox for the larger images.

2. Should use images loaded to pages or posts gallery

3. Needs to play nice with wp-featured-content-slider - which is being used on home page. I tried the slideshow gallery plugin and it broke the featured content slider

I can't believe there isn't something like this out there but I have been unable to find it. Thanks in advance for your help.

If this needs to be custom coded - let me know the fee and I will adjust the prize amount.



This is still open and in need of an answer. Prize was increased to $30. I know there's a guru out there who can do this.

Hi Borzoid,

Is this question still open?
Did you get your carousel function from developer here?

If this is still open I'll try to create one for you.
Thanks

this is still open. currently I have put the slideshow gallery plugin on this page:

http://www.brandmagik.com/lakota/?page_id=26

The jquery conflict has been found and fixed. Now all I need is someone to remove the large image on the slideshow and add the thickbox link to the thumbnails.

Thank you for asking.

Sorry for my late reply, Its 12 at night when I asking the question so I go to sleep :D

Borzoid, honestly is harder to make slideshow gallery plugin to do what you want than make a custom code by ourselves.
I checked the plugin and it uses JavaScript function to put images on the carousel not raw HTML so in order to make images show lightbox when clicked, we have to change the js script, any change with function can affected the carousel function, moreover this may not survive on plugin update.

If you only need the carousel function not the backend option like in slideshow gallery, I can make custom shortcode for this.
The shortcode format will be like:

[scrollable option='thisIsOption']
URL_image_1.jpg,
URL_image_2.jpg,
URL_image_3.jpg
[/scrollable]

If this is acceptable for you I will create it.
Thanks

I hear what you are saying and was hoping to not ask you guys to write the whole thing. Also without the javascript would that make scrolling manual? I would rather keep the autoscroll and give the page a more dynamic feel.

Other than the appearance on the front end my concern is also for the end user. The current plugin uses the wordpress gallery functions and allows for easily adding new images. I want the whole thing to be as easily editable as possible for the user.

I appreciate your input.


Christianto comments:

The all carousel function on the frontend will be identical, including autoscroll option.
The real different is how the image is manage, with slideshow gallery plugin we uses wordpress gallery function to manage the image, if I create the custom code they way user manage their content is by shortcode.

Code below will be copied to post editor, the way user add/edit/delete image to include is by add/edit/delete image url on the shortcode.


[scrollable option='thisIsOption']

URL_image_1.jpg,

URL_image_2.jpg,

URL_image_3.jpg

[/scrollable]


// if we delete image 1

[scrollable option='thisIsOption']

URL_image_2.jpg,

URL_image_3.jpg

[/scrollable]


// if we add 2 more image

[scrollable option='thisIsOption']

URL_image_2.jpg,

URL_image_3.jpg,

URL_image_4.jpg,

URL_image_5.jpg

[/scrollable]

Its pretty easy for user to do it.


Connie Taylor comments:

OK Just to verify the thumbnails will be clickable and give thickbox effect for the larger image? If it works like that then then write it up and tell me where to put the functions and I will award the prize to you.


Christianto comments:

Hi, yes the thumbnail will be clickable and show in lightbox/thickbox effect.
Please download file attach.
The zip contain folder name 'scrollable' put this folder on your theme directory.
Open borzoid.php this file contain function that must be included to your functions.php, copy/paste this code to your functions.php.

The shortcode format is:

[scrollable itemscroll="1"]
[simage]http://yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/YourImage.jpg[/simage]
[simage]http://yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/YourImage.jpg[/simage]
[simage]http://yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/YourImage.jpg[/simage]
[simage]http://yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/YourImage.jpg[/simage]

[/scrollable]

You can see the image urls is enclose with [simage][/simage], also I add itemscroll attr so u can specify how many item per-move.
This work on my localhost, Please tell me the result in your site..
