Alternative slider for Agentpress

[melissa]

I am trying to find out if there is an alternative slider for Agentpress in which I can load pictures to that are not necessaraly listings. I do not want to create new pages or posts everytime I want to load a picture either...any ideas???

Thank youuuuuu

[melissa]

Oh...And I need it to be full width...

I've been using WooSlider from WooThemes in all my StudioPress/Genesis sites (that use a slider, anyway). I tried the Genesis sliders but I'd rather not have to create a post to make a slide.

WooSlider gives you lots of different options for placing it in your site, from template tags to shortcodes to widgets, and it's responsive.

It's not free, but it is good.

I will definitely try it. Thank you!...Just to make sure... Can I load a gallery of pictures on ti without having to create a post or page?

[John]

I wouldn't technically call it a gallery of pictures, but here's more info:

Each slide is a "custom post type" and they are all managed in a section called Slideshows.

Slides can be added to "Slide Groups" and then you can specify a different Slide Group for each instance of WooSlider on your site.

A slide's content can be just an image, an image linked to something else, an image and text, just text, and maybe other possibilities I haven't thought of yet.

Followed all the instructions, installed it...created a new slideshow and when I publish the page...nothing 🙁

Ugh...

[John]

What's the URL of the page where it's not working?

Well...the widget...do I need to edit something else???

[melissa]

Its suposed to go after the navigation bar...thats where the genesis slider used to be...

[John]

Firebug isn't showing a widget area there. This might be a silly question, but did you 'Save' the widget after adding it to the widget area?

Yes...I did save it. But I dont think the problem is the widget. I think the problem is WooSlider. When I create a new slider, add images and click on the SLIDESHOW to set everything up....the code goes into the page...when I publish the page....nothing! No pictures on the page at all...Am I doing something wrong?

[John]

I'm not sure - it's always worked for me. Want me to take a look in the admin? That would be quicker than trying to figure this out without seeing it myself.

Ok...what do you need?

[John]

Create a new admin user and send me the info at [email protected]. After I'm done you can delete that user account.
