Slideshow effect WordPress
- SOLVED
Hi! I'm looking for a WP-Plugin for the following slideshow effect:
http://www.giessform.com/2010/01/07/lindenblueten-erzaehlen/
It looks quite simple, but the plugin I found in the code (SuperBGImage) seems to be hard to add, I have no programming skills!
So I'm looking for a more simple solution. Also I would like to work with the WP-Gallery, and not something like NextGen, if possible....
Thanks!

This one's great:

The premium version is also great but probably not necessary for what you want.

Here is a simple example: [[LINK href="http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/basic.html"]]http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/basic.html[[/LINK]] Slowing down the fade and adding a delay will produce an exact effect as in the link you provided.
If you need help implementing PM me.

Hey Simone,
that page doesn't use "superbgimage" as a slide show, because if you notice the source code, it is commented out.
the script that is used is:
http://www.giessform.com/gf/wp-content/themes/gf/js/slideshow.js
and to call it they use
<script type="text/javascript">
myShow = new Slideshow("Lindenblüten erzählen", {type: "fade", duration: [3500, 2000], hu: "http://www.giessform.com/gf/wp-content/uploads/033/", images: ["01.jpg","02.jpg","03.jpg","04.jpg","05.jpg"], width: 410, height: 547});
</script>

Luis Cordova answers:
I used the flashfader plugin, is the simplest you could possible have.
It is old but I have used it in desperate situations
http://www.lynk.de/wordpress/flashfader/
it has instructions and it is pretty adaptable. You will have to open and edit files but you can do this easily and carefully. Rather than giving you a complex solution I am teaching you how to fish.
If you have more questions just ask.
Instructions:
1. Install:
Copy the 2 files flashfader.php and flashfader.swf in the plugins directory (wp-content/plugins). Activate the plugin. Go to “Manage” in the admin panel, open submenu item “Flashfader”. The flashfader admin was moved to “Posts” since version 2.7.
2. Usage:
If you see the settings and upload page, the installation went fine. Upload 2 images for a test-drive.
Now you need to open one of the files of your current template. Assuming you use the default template (wp-content/themes/default), open sidebar.php and place the following code directly under
<div id="sidebar">
<?php
include (ABSPATH."wp-content/flashfader/flashfaderhtml.txt");
?>
Upload sidebar.php in the template’s directory. Reload your WP homepage and you should see your slideshow.
sidebar.php was just an example. You can place the code in any template file, just make sure it is placed in html and not within < ?php ?> tags.
