<p>Note: This plugin only supports <a href="http://justintallant.com/go/genesis-child-themes" title="Genesis child themes" rel="nofollow ugc">Genesis child themes</a>. If you don’t know what that is, don’t download this plugin.</p>
<p>Genesis Bootstrap Carousel (GBC) allows you to create a simple responsive image carousel that displays the featured image, along with the title and excerpt from each post.<br />
GBC is based off of the Genesis Responsive Slider and uses a lot of the same code. The main difference is that the Genesis Bootstrap Carousel uses the Carousel<br />
jquery plugin created by the open source Twitter Bootstrap Project. The carousel.js in this plugin is roughly 1/4 the size of the jquery flexslider.js used by<br />
the Genesis Responsive Slider. The CSS in this plugin is about half the size of the Genesis Responsive Slider plugin. Genesis Bootstrap Carousel also includes<br />
options to easily disable the CSS and JS of the plugin, allowing you to move scripts or styles into a combined file inside your theme. GBC also uses CSS for the<br />
next/previous arrows, avoiding an HTTP request and allowing easy customization via CSS. You may also choose what specifc post/page IDs the carousel JS and CSS get loaded on.<br />
This way you can avoid loading assets on pages that are not using the Carousel and avoid unnecessarily increasing page load time.</p>
<p>It includes options for the maximum dimensions of your slideshow, allows you to choose to display posts, pages, custom post types, what category to pull from, and even the<br />
specific post IDs of the posts you want to display. It includes next/previous arrows that can be turned on or off. Finally, you can place the carousel into a widget area.<br />
The image carousel is also responsive and will automatically adjust for the screen it is being displayed on.</p>
<p>You can get information on how the carousel.js works by visiting the <a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#carousel" title="Carousel Section" rel="nofollow ugc">Carousel Section</a> of the Twitter Bootstrap site.</p>

<h3>Child Theme Integration</h3>
<p>To adjust the carousel defaults for a child theme use a filter simiar to the following:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'bootstrap_carousel_settings_defaults', 'my_child_theme_bootstrap_carousel_defaults' );

function my_child_theme_bootstrap_carousel_defaults( $defaults ) {
    $defaults = array(
        'post_type'                      => 'post',
        'posts_term'                     => '',
        'exclude_terms'                  => '',
        'include_exclude'                => '',
        'post_id'                        => '',
        'posts_num'                      => 5,
        'posts_offset'                   => 0,
        'orderby'                        => 'date',
        'carousel_interval'              => 5000,
        'carousel_arrows'                => 1,
        'carousel_no_link'               => 0,
        'carousel_width'                 => '940',
        'carousel_height'                => '380',
        'carousel_excerpt_content'       => 'excerpts',
        'carousel_excerpt_content_limit' => 150,
        'carousel_more_text'             => 'Continue Reading',
        'carousel_excerpt_show'          => 1,
        'carousel_excerpt_width'         => 100,
        'location_vertical'              => 'bottom',
        'location_horizontal'            => 'left',
        'carousel_hide_mobile'           => 1,
        'html5_docytpe'                  => 0,
        'disable_css'                    => 0,
        'disable_js'                     => 0
    );
    return $defaults;
}

<h4>Increased Flexibility for Featured Pages with Genesis</h4>
<p>This plugin brings you a “Featured Page” widget with up to 34 options (instead of only 9)! Use it additionally to the existing original widget if you need more flexibility.</p>
<p>Especially useful for using own links and page teaser content on a home page or anywhere in a widget area. Fully leverages Genesis’ awesomeness. Build with webmasters, non-coders and security in mind. I have developed this plugin for my clients to fullfill their needs for their home pages on their small business sites.</p>
<p><strong>Control title link</strong> for featured Page, plus Widget title link!</p>
<p><strong>Set <em>custom</em> teaser content for page</strong> – or use page excerpt, or content (limit) via Genesis 🙂</p>
<p>A great helper tool for Genesis Child Themes!</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Please note:</strong> The plugin requires the <em>Genesis Theme Framework</em> (in version 2.0 or higher), a paid premium product released by StudioPress/ Copyblogger Media LLC (via studiopress.com).</p>

<h3>Idea Behind / Philosophy</h3>
<p>As I needed more options for that page widget for myself for a long time, I finally build/ forked into my own new plugin. Sometimes it is really more helpful to have a few options handy then to rely only on decisions from someone…! 😉</p>
<h3>Credits</h3>
<ul>
<li>Thanks to all users of the plugin and all feedback that I got so far! 🙂</li>
<li>Thanks to Genesis developers for the already awesome “Featured Page” widget! (GPL-2.0+)</li>
<li>Thanks to Johan van de Merwe for the awesome “Genesis Featured Page Extended” widget! (GPL-2.0+)</li>
<li>Thanks to Thomas Griffin for the “New Media Uploader” example plugin! (GPL-2.0+)</li>
<li>Thanks to “Modern Tribe” developers for the “Image Widget” plugin! (GPL-2.0+)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Last but not least</h3>
<p><strong>Special Thanks go out to my family for allowing me to do such spare time projects (aka free plugins) and supporting me in every possible way!</strong></p>
