AddFunc

<p>AddFunc Slides’ native and intuitive custom post type (called Slides) and taxonomy (called Slidesets) utilizes the powerful content management and editing features built into WordPress core. That is what makes it easy to grasp and manage. It includes administrative features such as quick edit, bulk edit, column sorting and a properly placed Slide Settings page (under Slides, not under the general Settings section).</p>
<p>AddFunc Slides was made for CSS coders/themers, as well as for average WordPress users. It comes as a plug & play package with it’s already active <a href="http://addfunc.com/slides/" rel="nofollow ugc">default stylesheet</a>, providing a basic but robust slideshow presentation interface. This stylesheet can be turned off in Slides->Settings, allowing a CSS coder full control over the entire look and feel of slideshows including transitions. The vanilla JavaScript slideshow script only changes classes and does not use the style attribute, meaning all state changes can be animated by CSS.</p>
<p>One of the things that makes Slides so easy to manage is the Edit button displayed with each Slide on the front-end when you’re logged in with Editor privileges. When you see a Slide in your slider that you want to edit, simply click the Edit button and you’re now editing that very Slide. Slides can also be moved from one Slideset to another with a couple of clicks. No need to migrate Slides by copy & paste.</p>
<p>Slides are just like Posts or Pages, with the standard Visual/Text editor, revisions, publication settings, featured image (used for thumbnails), etc. The big difference is that they are made for slideshows. Additional specialized Slide options allow you to upload/select a main image using the Media Library (so you can keep that separate from the editor content), link the main image to any Page, Post or other URL/URI, select the nature of the Slide (Imagery or Content) and set the Slide’s priority (any numeric value). You can even upload/select a background image (also using the Media Library), so there is no need to use your stylesheet to do a CSS background-image for each Slide.</p>
<p>Specialized buttons in the editor (TinyMCE) make it easy to add the CSS classes of a set, appropriate for slideshow objects and supported by the default stylesheet. These include four directional options (left, right, up and down), two rotational options (clockwise and counter-clockwise), an incremental option (with up to six increments) and a decremental option (with up to six decrements). These classes can also be styled or animated by CSS and can therefore be repurposed for any need a web developer deems them best suitable for. We gave these buttons generic names for that very purpose.</p>
<p>The shortcode [slides] supports parameters for every feature the slideshow script has to offer, while not requiring any of them at all (except where customization is necessary, of course). These features include</p>
<pre><code>*   slideset — Selects a specific Slideset by slug
*   auto — Automates Slide transitioning
*   speed — Duration each Slide is displayed
*   prevnext — Adds "Previous" and "Next" buttons
*   pause — Adds a Pause button
*   tabs — Adds tabs/pager with optional labels and/or thumbnails
*   tabsfirst — Outputs tabs before the slideshow instead of after
*   stoppable — Stops automated transition upon user interaction
*   pauseonhover — Pauses automated transition upon hover/mouseover
*   fullscreen — Adds Fullscreen button (note limited browser support)[http://caniuse.com/#search=fullscreen]
*   swipe — Adds touchscreen swipe capability. (By default, left = next Slide, right = previous Slide. Also includes up = next Slide, down = previous Slide, and a few other combinations thereof)
*   class — Adds CSS class(es) to the slideset container
*   order — The order in which Slides are displayed
*   orderby — What the display order is based upon — date, priority (if set in Slide options), name, ID, random
</code></pre>
<p>A Help Tab is available (when editing any Post, Page, etc.) with simple but detailed instructions on how to write [slides] shortcodes, including all options available, as well as currently created Slidesets.</p>
<p>The Slides Widget supports all of the same options as the shortcode, with a comprehensive set of on/off settings and multiple choice boxes. And of course for you themers, if you would like to do_shortcode in your theme files, that option is available as well.</p>
<p>We have big plans for AddFunc Slides. We created it because we couldn’t find any other slideshow plugin that works anything like this one does. That’s really the basis by which we build all of our plugins — to fill a needed gap. We hope that you find this plugin to be as vastly useful as we do.</p>


AddFunc Slides

In searching for a good slideshow plugin, I had a lot of high criteria. It had to be native to WordPress, preferably with its own content type and taxonomy. It had to enable me to add slideshows with a flexible shortcode. It had to provide a widget, so I could put slideshows in any widget area. It had to use classes and not style attributes, so I could have full control over its look, feel and animation transitions. It had to be clean and not overwhelm me with a slew of poorly thought out bells and whistles that could never be useful to me. It would not invade other parts of WordPress it didn't belong in and it would just stick to what it is made for—slideshows.
I couldn't find that plugin. Indeed I couldn't find any plugins that came anywhere near that description, even some which met a small handful of my criteria. So I made this one. I've been using AddFunc Slides for production projects throughout its entire development, so I can attest that it is reliable.
I hope there are others in the community and the world who have a criteria similar to what I had, and who will greatly benefit from AddFunc Slides.

<p>With this plugin, You’ll be able to create a presentation in no time using WordPress’ familiar built-in toolset, and the best part is, You won’t need to upload to slideshare when you’re done. You’re hosting your own presentations and can share/present them anytime. The presentation template is based on <a href="http://code.google.com/p/html5slides/" rel="nofollow ugc">html5slides</a> by Luke Mahé and Marcin Wichary. This plugin was built with CSS3 and HTML5 and is intended to be used on modern browsers.</p>
<p>Feel free to <a href="http://j.ustin.co/zMQtc0" rel="nofollow ugc">contribute to this plugin on github</a>.</p>
<h4>Demo</h4>
<p><a href="http://j.ustin.co/yZe7Il" rel="nofollow ugc">http://dsgnwrks.pro/html5-presentation-example</a></p>
<h4>Instructions for editing slides</h4>
<p>If you <a href="http://j.ustin.co/yZe7Il" rel="nofollow ugc">view the demo</a>, it will walk you through the styles and slide types available in this plugin. The sample presentation is available for you to download so you can see the slides in action.  Just <a href="http://j.ustin.co/yk0vMn" rel="nofollow ugc">download the xml file</a>, and import it to WordPress the way you normally import WordPress to WordPress.</p>
<h4>Customizing the Plugin</h4>
<p>If you want to use your own styles and completely disregard the default styles provided, add a stylesheet named <code>html5slide-replace.css</code> to your theme folder. If you would like to add a stylesheet in addition to the one provided, instead add a stylesheet named <code>html5slide-style.css</code> to your theme folder.</p>
<p>The plugin provides an option to enable/disable <code><?php wp_head(); ?></code> as well as <code><?php wp_footer(); ?></code>.</p>
<p>This plugin is intended to operate completely independent of your installed theme, so by default this option is off. You may find that when <code><?php wp_head(); ?></code> is enabled, that your theme, and other plugins stylesheets may interfere with the default stylesheet, but you may be missing other plugins functionality if you disable it.</p>
<p>The <code><?php wp_footer(); ?></code> option will allow the admin bar to be displayed on the slide page (if it is enabled) and will allow other plugins and your theme to add functionality. If you have a plugin that keeps track of analytics and you want it to track the slide pages, you will probably want this enabled.</p>
<p>That being said if you don’t want <code><?php wp_head(); ?></code> or <code><?php wp_footer(); ?></code> enabled, you can use the built-in hooks, <code>dsgnwrks_html5_head();</code> and <code>dsgnwrks_html5_footer();</code> to add functionality to the slide pages.</p>
<p><em>Example:</em></p>
<pre><code><?php
add_action( 'dsgnwrks_html5_footer', 'add_slide_google_analytics' );
function add_slide_google_analytics() {
    ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    try{
    var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxx-x");
    pageTracker._trackPageview();
    } catch(err) {}
    </script>
    <?php
}
?>
</code></pre>
<h4>Different Slide Types</h4>
<p>Each Slide has several options for determing the type of slide, whether it is a slide without a title, a segue slide, if you want animated revealing child elements, ect.</p>
<h4>Different layouts</h4>
<p>Each “Title Slide” has a few options for determining the type of presentation, including whether it’s widescreen, “Faux Widescreen,” or standard, and if the presentation will have a logo stamp on the bottom right (the featured image).</p>
<h4>Instructions for presenting</h4>
<p>After you create a presentation, create a page to display it on. You’ll see a new dropdown menu for choosing HTML5 Presentations. Select you presentation, save and view!</p>
<ul>
<li>Press Enter, space, right arrow to advance; Backspace, left arrow to go back.</li>
<li>Enter full-screen mode (F11 or Shift-Command-F in Chrome) before presenting.</li>
<li>You should be able to press Ctrl+R/F5/Cmd+R at any time to refresh without losing your place in the presentation.</li>
<li>If an iframe steals your focus and you can’t advance any more, please click outside the slide on the background to give the focus back to the presentation.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Caveats</h4>
<p>These presentations should work on modern Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera… and generally touch devices. Your mileage in IE9 may vary.</p>
