Video slider using Custom Fields WordPress

  • SOLVED

I need a jquery slider that will pull 2 - 3 custom fields within 1 post... The custom fields will have video embed codes from sites like vimeo, youtube etc...

Currently using the easySlider 1.7, I would like to keep using it but if I cant I would use something else.
Also have one thing with the easySlider - not able to show both numeric controls and next & previous controls at the same time - if you can help me with that bonus.

You can view the site I am working on here... (the videos are just samples) - http://www.ogradyproductions.com/barcelona/

Here is my current code...

<div class="featureHolder">
<div id="slider">

<ul>
<li class="slider post">
<div class="slider_text hentry">
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'video', $single); ?>
</div>
</li>
</ul>

</div><!--END SLIDER ID-->
</div><!--END FEATURE HOLDER-->


I have created a second custom field key called "video2"... how can I put that in there so the slider will go through both...

Add all the videos with the custom field 'video' (so that you can have any number of videos on any page)

Then use this code :

<div class="featureHolder">

<div id="slider">

<ul>
<?php foreach(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'video', false) as $video): ?>
<li class="slider post">
<div class="slider_text hentry">
<?php echo $video; ?>
</div>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

</div><!--END SLIDER ID-->

</div><!--END FEATURE HOLDER-->

Buzu B answers:

you need to pull both custom fields using php and then just use jquery to do the slides. Just add another

<li class="slider post">

<div class="slider_text hentry">

<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'video', $single); ?>

</div>

</li>

but instead of vide use vide2
