Sliding Testimonials (or Posts)

[ATS]

Dear friends,

 

asking your advice on how to achieve an effect similar to here http://www.virtualstafffinder.com/

I mean three sliding testimonials with images.

I tried Genesis Carousel plugin but it does not allow to have multiple posts to be displayed and SLIDED at the same time.

It could be achieved via Featured Posts widget easily... but again I need several testimonials to be displayed and slided at once.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,

All of the testimonials on virtual staff finder link to the same page, the testimonials page.  That leads me to the easy/lazy solution.

Create images with 3 testimonials on them in photoshop or gimp.  So when you slide it slides one image but all three testimonials because they are part of said image.  The image would link to the testimonials page.

This would avoid custom code and headaches and achieve virtually the same result as virtualstafffinder.

Thank you, dabyrom!

The problem was that there should be dozens of testimonials and it would be too time consuming to do those images. besides text on those triple images will not be text, but image.

Here is the solution I was able to come up after extensive research and numerous tries: installed Recent Posts Slider plugin, customized it a bit bit and it did the trick.

Also created posts Category and called it Testimonials. Then make the plugin call that specific category (easy in settings).

Last problem solved was to make titles, read more and thumbnails to link not to the corresponding posts but to one single testimonial page. Well, I did it with Custom URI redirect (option available underneath your admin post area). It's working solution. Right now it is here on test site http://centenocustom.com, but will be moved soon to http://www.realmenrealstyle.com
