[Plugin: jQuery Slider] Only works if you call within WordPress

I found that you could get it to work by using the template tag for the short codes:

eg:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[shortcode option1="value1" option2="value2"]'); ?>

like this:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[jQuery Slider]'); ?>

Hi,

Function returns a value, one should echo it.

<?php
if ( function_exists( 'jquery_slider' ) ) { echo jquery_slider(); } ?>
?>

Cheers,
Gabriel

None of these methods work under WP 3.4.1.

Doing this get the slider to show up, but not the images you associate with the slide.

<?php if ( function_exists( 'jquery_slider' ) ) { echo jquery_slider(); } ?>

This works fine in template files.
