Wordpress Slideshow Plugin

The slideshows you see throughout this site are all driven by a plugin I am developing for Wordpress. It takes a photo stream from somewhere on the web and transforms it via XSLT into a slideshow on your page. Current applications can transform any of the following into a slideshow:

  • Any Zooomr or Flickr feed (examples: Zooomr, Flickr)
  • Flickr photosets (example)
  • Flickr favourites (example)
  • Zooomr favourites (example)
  • Zooomr smart sets (example)
  • It’s versatile, and can be easily adapted to custom needs (example)

Install it

Installation instructions and documentation are all detailed in the zip file, or online at wordpress.org. The Subversion repository is over at wp-plugins.org.

This site runs the latest stable version. To see what’s around the corner check the demos running at the Testing Grounds.

    […] While doing my slideshow plugin (plug, plug), I realised it would be good to be able to get more from the RSS feeds. First of all, the obvious omissions are smart sets and favourites, which have no feeds. My slideshow grabs the html from those pages and converts them with xsl, but html content is unreliable, since it can change at the whim of the developers. An RSS feed, on the other hand, just contains the data I need, and no more, and the format is standardized. I wouldn’t need multiple xsl files. […]

    John,

    This page shows a slideshow of the ‘Scotland’ tag from Flickr.

    I’ll discuss it over at that page in the comments. It seems appropriate to get all the flickr feed questions on the page with the flickr feed example.

    […] Le WordPress Slideshow Plugin de Dave’s Stuff ne me convient pas. Il lui faut en entrée un flux rss (flickr ou zoomr). Il est encore en développement. Même pas de zip à télécharger, c’est dire. […]

    hi dave,
    this is one cool plugin!
    but may i know if there’s a way to make it work with PHP 4.4.2?

    thanks.

    Thanks Laihu.

    There must be a way to make it work with PHP 4.4.2, but I don’t know how to do XSLT with PHP 4. I might get round to it one day, but don’t have a platform to test on, and currently have very little spare time. I will gladly accept patches though!

    Cheers,
    Dave.

    Aww… non-commercial license! This would be great for the site I’m working on :)

    Great plugin, though!

    Justin,

    The ‘non-commercial’ bit in the license means you can’t use it for commercial sites/purposes without asking me first. Let’s negociate!

    Cheers,
    Dave.
