Descripción
The Versatile jQuery Slider helps you set up an easy, versatile, responsive slider with images or any HTML content. Powered by jQuery Cycle2.
I’ve often looked for a good plugin that would allow me to quickly and easily add the jQuery Cycle2 plugin to a site, but I couldn’t find any good ones… so I built this. Basically, the Versatile jQuery Slider (VJS Slider) is a wrapper that pulls in most of the available options into a shortcode for easy use. So you’ll want to check out the jQuery Cycle2 options to know what is available.
The nice part is, the jQuery Cycle2 scripts are only loaded on the pages that they are used on, and only the necessary scripts are loaded. So if you need the carousel plugin, it will automatically be added in if the fx
attribute is set carousel
. You need to center vertically? Set the center-vert
attribute to true
.
Easy as that!
Demos
Check out the demos page.
Parameters
VJS Slider has some unique paramaters that jQuery Cycle2 doesn’t have. Also there are a some changes to a few of the jQuery Cycle2 parameters. Check them out.
Instalación
- Install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly by searching for Versatile jQuery Slider, or upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/versatile-jquery-slider
directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
Usage
To use the VJS Slider, you’ll use the shortcode [vjs_slider] your slide code here [/vjs_slider]
, then you’re all set for the basic, default usage.
If you want to get fancy, follow along with the jQuery Cycle2 demos, and wherever data-cycle-attribute
is used, drop data-cycle-
and all the rest is the same (in most cases).
I’m not going to list out all the options here because they are all very well documented on the jQuery Cycle2 site. Check it all out over there, then make some cool stuff with the VJS Slider!
Important Differences
There are a couple important changes that had to be made because they wouldn’t work with the shortcode. The following attributes are affected:
-
slides
If you use theslide
attribute, don’t add>
, it will automatically be assumed. If you use ‘ If you use>
like the demos on the jQuery Cycle2 site show, then it will mess up the shortcode and your slider won’t work. -
next and prev
If you want to set your own selectors for next and prev, you’ll need to add your own CSS.
Note: if the navigation elements are inside the slider container they will be hidden by default. (seenavs
attribute below). -
slide-css
This attribute is not used because it doesn’t work reliably inside the shortcode. If you want slide specific CSS, just add your own class to your slide and add your own CSS. -
swipe
Swipe is turned on and the necessary js added automatically because let’s face it, who doesn’t want that?
VJS Slider Specific Attributes
VJS Slider has a few attribute unique to the plugin that are designed to help you out.
-
id
By default, the VJS Slider will haveid="vjs-slider"
. If you want to change it, use theid
attribute.
Note: if you have more than one slider on the same page, make sure they all have a different id. -
class
Give your slider a class and style to your heart’s content. By default all sliders will have the classvjs-slider
. If you set one here, it will be in addition to that class. -
css
VJS Slider comes with some very basic CSS. If you don’t want to use it, set thecss
attribute tofalse
. Then you can use your own without having to override anything. -
ie-fade
Set totrue
to include the fade/fadeout plugin for old versions of IE. This plugin corrects issues that arise when cleartype is used with opacity. See the jQuery Cycle2 docs. -
navs
This will enable next and prev navigation links. Set toinside
for the links to live inside the slider container. Set tooutside
for the links to live outside the slider container.
Note: If set tooutside
, you’ll need to add your own CSS to make things look right. -
nav-next
When navs are enabled, the default will create a right arrow link. Use this attribute to change it to something else. It will accept plain text,img
tag, or any html. If you don’t want an element inside (like you want to control it all with CSS), then just addnav-next=""
. -
nav-prev
When navs are enabled, the default will create a left arrow link. Use this attribute to change it to something else. It will accept plain text,img
tag, or any html. If you don’t want an element inside (like you want to control it all with CSS), then just addnav-prev=""
. -
nav-selector
Give the navigation wrapper a class or id so that you can style as you wish. -
theme-fix
Sometimes a theme includes a version of jQuery Cycle (usually it’s an older version). When this happens, it will create a conflict with VJS Slider. Set this attribute totrue
to fix the conflict. -
width
By default, the slider container will expand the full width of it’s parent container. You can set your own width with this attribute .
Preguntas frecuentes
- Where can I find detailed instructions
-
You can view the docs at the Versatile jQuery Slider plugin homepage. There you’ll find an overview of how to use the shortcode. For details regarding all the available parameters, please see the jQuery Cycle2 plugin options page.
- My HTML slides aren’t working
-
Make sure you’ve included the
slides
parameter and correctly set it’s value to the element of each slide (e.g.div
orspan
). Also make sure you did not include>
, the VJS Slider will take care of that part for you. - The slider looks like it works, but then it just breaks
-
First double checked that you don’t have any typos (missing quotes, etc).
Next, make sure that you’ve structured everything inside the shortcode correctly (see the VJS Slider demos and the jQuery Cycle2 demos).
If you’re still having problems, there’s a chance that your theme includes a version of jQuery Cycle2. Try adding
theme-fix="true"
as a parameter and that should do the trick.
