[Plugin: WP Featured Content Slider] possible to have mutliple instances?

If anyone is interested I figured out a way to have multiple versions installed. Kind of hackish but works well!

hi,

can you tell me how you did it?
I have the sort of the same question.

I have 5 product pages with each a slider. Now it shows all the posts on every page, instead of per page a categorie of posts…

regards.

Hi if you can please email me with how to do multiple instances – would be much obliged. Thank you!

I would love to know this hack as well…. ty in advance.

gosh Im so sorry I missed the marisqas request, its been a while but I started with copying the plugin folder, I put a ‘2’ after the name and re-uploaded it, then in the following file: featured-content-slider.php, I changed all references to /wp-content/plugins/wp-featured-content-slider into /wp-content/plugins/wp-featured-content-slider2

In this file you can also change the text at the top to be named in a way you know the difference when you look at it in the plugins directory.

I also changed this line in content-slider.php
$direct_path = get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’).”/wp-content/plugins/wp-featured-content-slider”;

to reflect the new path.

I think there is more but Im not sure it will be necessary. If you do this and it still doesnt work I will look deeper to see if i had to call anything else #2 in my old files.

There has to be some other modifications because I can see in several places it is marking the post with a custom tag so the slider can find it in a query. I will see what I can do while playing around and post what happens.
