fotoslide wordpress plugin
Following from the work I done previously with the WPS3slider, I felt it necessary to re-look at the way the plug-in was structured. The result is a more robust and simpler plug-in that generates multiple galleries on a web page.
This plugin now has the following features;
- Optionally provide a caption message and customise its CSS properties from admin screen
- Works with the existing Media Library
- Uses timthumb.php to dynamically size images
- Multiple galleries can be added without invalidating the HTML markup
- Providing a link from the image is optional
The plugin will appear on wordpress.org shortly, but if you want to get you hands on version 1.0 early, you can download it from the official project page on Google Code.
Here’s a sample gallery!

@queenbels
Each gallery has an id of “fotoslide-[id]” where [id] is the id of you gallery. It also has a class of “fotoslide” too so you could target your galleries in you CSS files using these attributes.

Hello
Thanks so much for your work on this. I am however at a loss as to why when I have more than 2 slides, only the first 2 slides will show. Would appreciate any insight. Thanks!

Hi Kevin, I used your fotoslide plugin in my wordpress, but i don’t know why it can be run in localhost, but can’t run on my host. Plz, tell me why and help me fix this problem. Thank you so much.

Superb plugin – I love the way you’ve structured it and the simple inclusion if the add media button is ideal in the write post area. Works a treat – I looked at nearly all the jQuery slideshows out there.
One issue I’m having is the z-index of the slideshow. It looks like jQuery is making sure the slideshow is at the top of the stack. This is interfering with drop down menus on the page – they’re appearing underneath the slideshow. Is there a way to stop this and hardcode the z-index?
Great work Kevin

@ian You can apply a z-index of your menu greater than the sliders so bring it to the top…

Hi, Kevin. With your fotoslide how i can use fotoslide plugin twice on a page? When i try to use it twice per one page, only one slideshow is active and other slideshow is a list image from my Gallery.
Can you tell me how i can use your fotoslide more than one time on a page. Thank you so much.

This project was looking very promising but I’m having many of the same issues as listed on the Google Code page – to the point where it’s very difficult to use on a live site. Do you have any plans to update this project or have you abandoned it now?
8-15-2010
@ryan – Project not abandoned, just really busy with other projects of late. I’ve just release version 1.1 that fixes many of the issues reported.

@kevin any way to remove the border from the slideshow, or at least it to show up on the bottom and right sides? i’m trying to get some consistency. note the gray on the top and left sides of your example above, but not on the bottom and right sides.
8-16-2010
@eric It appears like that in my example due to other CSS rules. There are no CSS rules provided with the plugin that apply a border to any element so if it appearing like so in your installation then you’ll need to target the slider with your own CSS. Please see the documentation for info on how to do this.

Kevin, Would like the ability to have the slideshow not crop the pictures, but to instead resize pictures down to fit the maximum width or height that would fit in the area, leaving the blank space transparent behind it, or if not transparent ability the ability to choose a background color.

@phil please add this to the project page http://code.google.com/p/fotoslide/issues
