No, you need to do this in a post, where you can add a custom field. It’s not a code thing… Perhaps the FAQ explains it?

Hi there… The simple_nivo_link should be added to the posts you need to specify a link for, as a custom field.

Or you can install a plugin like Page Links To and have that handle the link stuff for you (also done for each post, but more intuitive) ??

/Thomas

If the simple_nivo_link custom field doesn’t do it for you, you could install a plugin like Page Links To and use that to customize each post link.

Hope this helps ??

I usually just select “full size” in the featured image selection toolbox within the posts – I’ve had no problems with this… Let me know if this solves your question??

Check out https://dev7studios.com/blog/resources/skinning-the-nivo-slider/ for tips on styling the CSS and enabling HTML Captions…

Do you want the post title as a caption for each image in the slider? I guess that should not be too hard to implement – Just let me understand if this is indeed what you need?

And to make sure we’re talking about the same thing, the caption is the darkened ribbon-thingie on the bottom of the pictures, when it’s enabled?

/Thomas

If you add a custom field called simple_nivo_caption to the post, a caption with that text will be added to that picture in the slider.

Likewise, the simple_nivo_link custom field can be used to specify a custom link for that image (this is where you’ll be taken when you click the image)

Is this what you need?

Looks to me like you got it working – It looks fine in my browser anyways… ??

If you still don’t see it, let me know – Might be a browser thing.

Hi there…

I’m afraid that’s not currently possible, but something I’ve been meaning to implement for a while. I’ll start with making it possible to tune the different sliders via arguments for the shortcode- and template functions. If this would be usable to you, I’ll try to whip something up in the next few days… ??

Hope this helps.

/Thomas

Correct. ??

The first parameter is basically the ID of the DIV, in which the images are placed in the generated code. For multiple sliders, you’ll need different IDs.

The second parameter is the posts category.

I’ve just committed version 0.5.2 which allows textual categories (slug) and multiple categories as well…

With 0.5.2, this should work:

<?php
   if (function_exists('simple_nivo_slider')) {
      simple_nivo_slider("slider1", "promo");
      simple_nivo_slider("slider2", "promo,news");
   }
?>

I’ve tries to explain this stuff in the readme too, so check it out – And please let me know what you think.

/Thomas

Something like this would work today:

<?php
   if (function_exists('simple_nivo_slider')) {
      simple_nivo_slider("slider", 3);
      simple_nivo_slider("slider2", 4);
   }
?>

However, the numeric-only categories might not the most usable in the world, so I’ll fix those to accept textual (and multiple) categories in a (not too distant) future release…

/Thomas

Sorry for the late reply…

Please check out the latest version of the plugin, version 0.5.1, which will allow you to have multiple sliders with different categories.

It allows the use of shortcodes, so:

[snivo id=”my_div_id” category=”image_category2″] would hopefully do the trick for you.

Please note, that the default #slider id is styled from within the plugin. You will probably need to style #my_div_id.

Please let me know if you find the shortcode stuff useful.

/Thomas

Strange – Which browser are you on? Other plugins installed?

I believe the only time i saw something like this, was with another version of the nivoslider loaded at the same time… That would mess things up…

/Thomas

Sorry for the late reply.

I haven’t seen such behaviour – at least not in a released version of the plugin ?? If you are still having problems with the latest version of the plugin (0.5.1 is rolling out in these minutes) please let me know so I can try to fix it.

Cheers

I just pushed version 0.5.1 to the wordpress repository. That version of the plugin will allow you to specify a category using a “shortcode” to display the slider.

If you upgrade to 0.5.1 and put something like this in your content:

[snivo id=”div_id_1″ category=”promotions”]
[snivo id=”div_id_2″ category=”promotions2″]

will allow you to have multiple sliders with different categories.

If you were thinking about multiple categories for a single slider, I never really thought about it? Would this be useful?
