<ul>
<li>[gallery] and [bxgallery] shortcodes</li>
<li>[slider] and [bxslider] shortcodes</li>
<li>Template functions</li>
</ul>
<h4>[gallery] and [bxgallery] shortcodes</h4>
You can use the default WordPress <code>[gallery]</code> shortcode or use the additional <code>[bxgallery]</code> shortcode to create awesome 
dynamic galleries. These shortcodes take the following parameters:
<ul>
<li>ids [a comma-separated list of image IDs]: This is usually inserted for you when you create the gallery from the 
media box. If you omit this parameter, all the images you have uploaded along with the post will be included in the 
gallery. </li>
<li>exclude_featured [1 or 0]: if set to 1 and you did not specify specific ids as above, the post featured image 
will be excluded from the gallery. If you omit this parameter, it will default to the value set in the plugin settings 
page. </li>
<li>hide_carousel [1 or 0]: if set to 1, the carousel with thumbnails will not be shown. If you omit this 
parameter, it will default to the value set in the plugin settings page. </li>
<li>duration integer: the duration of slides in milliseconds </li>
<li>speed integer: the speed of transitions in milliseconds </li>
<li>extra_options comma-separated list of javascript options to be passed to bxSlider directly: this allows to 
directly specify some options for bxSlider if those options are not yet provided as settings or shortcode parameters by 
our plugin. For instance: [bxgallery extra_options=”pager: false, “]</li>
<li>transition ‘fade’, ‘horizontal’ or ‘vertical’: the type of transition between slides</li>
<li>adaptive_height [1 or 0]: if set to 1, the height of the slider/gallery will automatically adjust to the content 
of the current slide</li>
<li>auto_start [1 or 0]: if set to 1, the slideshow will automatically start after the page has loaded.</li>
<li>shuffle [1 or 0]: if set to 1, the images will be shown in random order</li>
</ul>
<h4>[slider] and [bxslider] shortcodes</h4>
You can also build your own custom sliders, with any content you’d like in them.
Here is an example:
<pre><code>[slider]
 This is my first slide. I can contain any html you like.
[next-slide]
 And the shortcode above has made this text be the second slider.
[next-slide]
 And thus we are now having the third slide of this slider. Below we close the initial shortcode to notify the end 
 of the slider. Simple, isn't it?
[/slider]
</code></pre>
The shortcode accepts the following parameters:
<ul>
<li>duration integer: the duration of slides in milliseconds </li>
<li>speed integer: the speed of transitions in milliseconds </li>
<li>extra_options comma-separated list of javascript options to be passed to bxSlider directly: this allows to 
directly specify some options for bxSlider if those options are not yet provided as settings or shortcode parameters by 
our plugin. For instance: [bxgallery extra_options=”pager: false, “]</li>
<li>transition ‘fade’, ‘horizontal’ or ‘vertical’: the type of transition between slides</li>
<li>adaptive_height [1 or 0]: if set to 1, the height of the slider/gallery will automatically adjust to the content 
of the current slide</li>
<li>auto_start [1 or 0]: if set to 1, the slideshow will automatically start after the page has loaded.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Template functions</h4>
The plugin also provides template functions to be used in your theme files. Those functions are all static methods of 
the class <code>BXSG_ThemeUtils</code>. To be safe, in case the plugin is not active, you should check that the class exists 
before calling the functions:
<pre><code><?php 
 if ( class_exists( 'BXSG_ThemeUtils' ) ) {
 // Do something with the BXSG_ThemeUtils class
 } 
?>
</code></pre>
1. Post gallery
<pre><code><?php BXSG_ThemeUtils::the_post_gallery( array( 
 'exclude_featured' => 1 
 ) ); ?>
</code></pre>
<blockquote>
Hint: you can pass the shortcode parameters as an array to customize the output
</blockquote>
