Coin Slider 4 WordPress
Coin Slider 4 WP will show your featured posts as image slider and rotate them using unique effects provided by jQuery’s Coin Slider.
Implementation is very easy, after you download and activate this plugin, just paste one line of code in your template and Coin Slider 4 WP is ready to use.
Follow next steps to set this plugin:
1. Upload coin-slider-4-wp folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Put <?php include (ABSPATH . ‘/wp-content/plugins/coin-slider-4-wp/coinslider.php’); ?> in your template
4. For each post that you want to be featured you must have custom field (csImage by default) with full url to image and optionaly field (csText by default) with text for title bar.
On options page you can change default parameters:
Width: in pixels, 565 by default
Height: in pixels, 290 by default
Number of Squares per Width: Coin Slider use square based animations. 7 by default
Number of Squares per Height: 5 by default
Be careful, if you set large number of squares animation may not be smooth
Slide Display Duration: in miliseconds, 5000 by default
Slide Transition Effects: there are three types: random, swirl and rain. All of those effect you can see here
Hide Navigation: check this if you don’t need prev/next buttons and navigation squares below slider
Image field: set custom field for image that should be used in gallery. By default you can use csImage field, but if you want you can change that. This is useful if you already use some gallery plugin and you want to change to Coin Slider 4 WP
Text Field: this field is optional. Content for this field will be displayed in gallery title bar bellow title. By default name of this field is csText but you can change if you want to use some other field
If you prefer Joomla instead WordPress you should try Coin Slider for Joomla created by Daniel Pardons.

You say — 3. Put in your template.
My question is, (as a newbie)What template? I wnat theis featured on the home page only.
Thank you!

Love the plugin, but since it’s called Coin SLIDER, could you add some more straight forward transitions like sliding or fading? I don’t really prefer the tiled transitions (reminds me too much of PowerPoint presentations).

Hello
Great plugin! Just one question, is it possible to have the slide linked to another post/page than the one used to create it?

Hi!
I got an issue with WordPress 3.2.1 and your plugin.
I’ve done steps 1, 2 and 3. Step 4, I give an url for the custom field “csImage by default” and “csImage”, but nothing appear.
I got the same issue with csTex, there is nothing on my home page.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem of Nicolas, nothing appear in my site and I have WP 3.2.1 too.

I had a problem with CoinSlider and WP 3.2.1, the images were all displayed one below the other and the slide show never started. The fix, for me, was to go into the plugin, and edit coinslider.php, and change
$(”#coin-slider”).coinslider({
to
jQuery(”#coin-slider”).coinslider({

I have the same problem with Wong. Only past 2 months posts are displayed in slideshow. What’s the matter with this plugin?
September 8, 2011
I noticed that the extension does not show last year’s posts. There’s obviously something wrong with the posts query but I don’t know what that is. Is there anything I could do to fix this? Please, help

I finally found a solution. I post it here in case someone has the same problem.
In coinslide.php file, you have to change the query_posts() function into the following:
query_posts(’meta_key=csImage&nopaging=true’);

Firstly, i love the pluggin, it works and its great.
BUT – I want to know if there is a code i can add / change that allows me to add images and link to PAGES instead of POSTS.
The website is more of a static page website rather then a blogging website.
any help would be appreciated
thanks
chris.

I’m trying to get the slides to link to the appropriate pages, and not just to the image itself. How can I set the link URL for the slide images?

Scyfox,
I’m trying to do the same, thumbnails and excepts rather than custom fields, but I blew up the plug-in by changing two variables. Help!

[Resolved] I did the following changes in coinsslider.php:
$args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘page’,
‘post__in’ => array(53,47,65)
);
query_posts($args);
/*query_posts(’category_name=’.get_option(’cs-category’).’&showposts=50′);*/
Nice Plugin, thanks.
