S3Slider Wordpress Plugin

Works great, thank you

You’re welcome.

An excellent start to a great plugin! I’m so glad that there’s a slider plugin that DOESNT force you to use featured pages or posts.

I’d like to see multiple sliders, show on pages/page ids (comma delimited list for each slider?)

of course, html markup in the text as well.

Last of all, I’d like to see the ability to use pictures from the media library and the ability to set teh image directory: wp-contents/uploads/s3Slider instead of the plugin directory?

Thanks again for a great plugin!

Vinícius Massuchetto — 09 de setembro de 2009 às 23:27 #

Definitively there’s a lot to be done yet. The main purpose (as you emphasize) is the ability to the user to set his own stuff on the slider.

I imagine a limited HTML markup. There’s no sense to define scripts and other things on the slider text.

I plan that the photos from media library will be the only way of uploading stuff instead of doing an extra folder for that.

Thanks for your points. They’re great ideas too.

Olá Vinicius, seu pluginé muito bom, só que não estou conseguindo trabalhar com ele já que aparece a seguinte menagem:
Warning: fileperms() [function.fileperms]: stat failed for /home/ramirob/public_html/wp-content/plugins/s3slider/files/ in /home/ramirob/public_html/wp-content/plugins/s3slider-plugin/s3slider-panel.php on line 160

Warning: The permissions to the directory /home/ramirob/public_html/wp-content/plugins/s3slider/files/ are invalid. Set them to 777 to be able to upload files.

Já mudei para 777 as permições das pastas mais continua a mesma mensagem. Que vocÊ acha que posso fazer?

Obrigado e abraços, Ramiro.

resolvido, descarreguei o zip desde aqui e deu tudo certo, agora só não cosigo escrever textos nos banners.
Obrigado

Oi Ramiro.

Algumas pessoas reclamaram dos textos também. Em uma próxima versão vou corrigir isso.

Abraços!

Hi

Dont know if im using a newer version of wordpress that
this plugin is not made for but I keep getting the same 777 prob
as @Ramiro

Any way to fix this?
All my file permissions are already on 777

Thanks

Vinícius Massuchetto — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 12:32 #

Hi Jovan.

Did you set the permissions of the “files” folder? The plugin needs it to upload the images.

Thanks.

Jovan — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 12:51 #

Hey

I solved it by downloading your version on this website
originally I got it from the wordpress.org site…must be a glitch
in that file!

Great Plugin!!
Thanks!:)

[Responder]

Vinícius Massuchetto — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 09:59 #

Nice! I’m sending the file from here to there. I’ll also keep only the Wordpress.org link to avoid this kind of difference between files.

If there’s an error, it must be only one.

Thanks!

[Responder]

Hi Vinícius,

Thanks for a great plugin :)

I noticed that this wouldn’t work on older versions of wordpress due to your use of the function plugins_url().. Which isn’t defined in older Wordpress versions.. Therefore, I’ve made a small change to all your plugins_url() function..

by creating a new function called get_plugin_url():

function get_plugin_url() {
// WP < 2.6
if ( !function_exists('plugins_url') )
return get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-content/plugins/' . plugin_basename(dirname(__FILE__));

return plugins_url(plugin_basename(dirname(__FILE__)));
}


after that, I changed all your use of plugins_url function to get_plugin_url() instead.. as this is for backward compatibility sake :)

Thanks though and it works great :)

Vinícius Massuchetto — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 09:57 #

Hi Krizalis. Great work!

Please send me the files you changed on viniciusandre © gmail.com that I’ll put up the 0.02 version along with other minor modifications.

Thanks!

[Responder]

krizalis — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 10:58 #

Hi Vinícius,

It seems I’ve ran into a problem after changing my own get_plugin_url function.. I think I need some time to solve the plugin path problem..

Sorry!

krizalis

Vinícius Massuchetto — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 23:47 #

No worries.

I can’t work on this right now, so as long as you finish your path correction stuff, just send me and I’ll put on the SVN.

That’s a fairly more intelligent way of getting the paths.

Thanks for now!

[Responder]

krizalis — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 13:52 #

Hi Vinícius,

I’ve edited the plugin and solved the path problem for backward compatibility.. also.. I noticed that updating the options for the slider width height and time didnt work.. so I also took the effort to add that into the code.. and it works nicely on my site..

I will send the files to your email.. Maybe you should check my codes just for “consistencies and good coding standards” :)

Thanks Vinícius Massuchetto :)

Really appreciate your work on the plugin :D

[Responder]

Hi There,

This looks really promising, thanks for your excellent work !

But I have a couple of small problems.
1) When I add the description it only shows 0 ( zero )
( The order field and the description seem to be confused !)

2) When I change any of the options ( width, height etc… ) they are not remembered. They go back to default 500, 300, 3000 values.

Hope you can help - Dave Porter

Vinícius Massuchetto — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 10:41 #

Hi Dave.

The “0″ thing is an already known bug. I’ll try to fix it as soon as I can. The options stuff is a result of the last fix I did - ironically, I know. I’ll have to fix it soon too.

Thanks for your report.

Dave Porter — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 11:06 #

Thanks for getting back….

I was able to edit the values in the mySQL database using PHPMyAdmin for now, but look forward to the next release…
regards, Dave

Vinícius Massuchetto — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 08:40 #

Hi Dave. It seems the option bug is now fixed. Try updating the plugin version.

[Responder]

Nice plugin, just posting to talk about a few bugs and requests, that you probably already know about.

Bugs or problems:
- I also have the “0″ problem in the text field of the images.
- The icon next to the S3Slider menu in the Dashboard doesn’t appear. Only referenced as “/img/menu.gif” in the src, it should have the full path with abspath.
- Version in Wordpress Plugin Repository is still 0.1.
- Version in Plugin menu inside Wordpress is still 0.1, though the readme.txt does mention 0.2.
- I had the Options problem too, but it looks that now it remembers the dimensions and time correctly.

Requests:
It will be nice to:
- Have a title and a text field. Where the title will show bold.
- In case of editing an image, that the crop is remembered. It shouldn’t ask to be done again by default.
- Be able to use the wp-content folder, or better a sub-folder inside it, to upload files.

Dreaming:
It will be incredible if:
- We could scan a category and pull up the post titles, image and short version text to make the gallery.
- We could choose posts or pages to do the same.

Hope it helps.
Good luck!

Vinícius Massuchetto — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 00:56 #

Thanks for your detailed return about the plugin, and sorry for all these errors too. You know… we run out of time all the time. =)

I did some small fixes now, and I’m going to make some major changes soon.

That helps a lot, indeed.
Thanks again.

[Responder]

Having a couple of problems:
1. The span description appears on the left side of the image instead of from the bottom, I’m also unable to set the text to anything other than 0 as others have said.

2. The plugin doesn’t appear to be working in IE8. Firefox and IE8(-Compatibility View) work. Any ideas why this is happening?

Vinícius Massuchetto — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 00:58 #

The text problem seems to be fixed on 0.03.

Unfortunately I don’t have how to develop with IE8 right now. I would really appreciate any help around this.

Thanks.

[Responder]

Were can I find Version 0.02 ?

Vinícius Massuchetto — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 00:39 #

Hi!

It’s on the Wordpress.org link.
I just noticed that I didn’t changed the value on the plugin header.

Thanks!

[Responder]

Just replace this line of code $values_types = array(’%d’,'%d’,'%d’,'%d’);

to : $values_types = array(’%d’,'%d’,'%d’,'%d’,'%s’,'%s’);

in s3slider-panel.php

on line 56

I have an idea for the change order , it could be drag and drop interface it will make the plug in more accessible in terms of UI

Hello,

When you said:

Place something like this in your template

must I have to put it there ( I m using kubrick theme) if I want to see the slider only on my home page ?:

and if I want into a post ?
Sorry I dont know !(1 month on wordpress)

All the best,

Alex

Vinicius Massuchetto — 10 de outubro de 2009 às 17:54 #

Hi Alex.

To view only in a single post you’ll probably want to check through an IF if the page has the ID you want, or even create a meta_value for the posts.

To view into the home page just look for the “index.php” file and put it there.

You’ll have to be a little bit familiar with PHP programming to do so.

Hope it helps.
Vinicius

Many thanks for the time and effort both the plugin developer and the original developer did.

I wanted to show this banner only in home page. When i add it in template it is displayed in all the pages. How to fix this ?

z — 11 de novembro de 2009 às 12:29 #

Which template file did you put it in? In your them directory you should have several,(index.php, single.php, archive.php etc). If you only want it to show on your front page you should place it within index.php or home.php .

Sorry, Sakthi, but I did not understand where’s the S3Slider plugin on your PHP code.

[Responder]

Hello,

Is there a way to put the images in the slider without using the crop??
(cause I already resized my photo’s) for better quality

Greetings from the netherlands

Vinícius Massuchetto — 11 de novembro de 2009 às 12:17 #

Hi Astrid.

Sorry, but you must pass throught `crop` to put your photo on the slider. Unless you know some PHP, you can hack the plugin code to skip this step.

Perhaps, you can upload your pre-sampled image and then just maximize the crop area.

I got some deutsch friends. They take care of an organization I worked in India. http://www.karunasociety.org

Merci !!!
j’attend avec impatience la prochaine version !!!

Hi Vincent

I have a few suggestions. If i can get them done before your next update i will send you the code.

1) Use the wp-enque function to link to jquery and the s3slider js.Should stop the jquery library being loaded twice, also set it to load in the footer.
2) Enable the abilty for pictures themselves to link to posts/pages/ random urls.
3) Enable the ability to add hyperlinks within the input boxes themselves. My hyperlinks seem to acquire extra slashes every-time i save them.

I currently use a function from wprecipes(?) that gets the first image from a post in conjunction with timthumb to create thumbnails. You could add the option to use a “featured category”, and the gallery could be generated from the images, titles and excerpts of the posts.

Just some ideas, hope they help. The top three i am in need of so i will try do myself, but i think you would do a better job

Namaste

Vinícius Massuchetto — 11 de novembro de 2009 às 11:45 #

Hi Zack.

It’s Vinicius, or Vini, or whatever.
I understand the problems for English speakers to correctly say my name.

The ideas you gave are awesome. If you ever get to make them, just let us know.

I didn’t use so many WP features on upload and everything else because I needed the cropper. I’m not too sure how to apply it on the standard upload stuff.

Perhaps, it’s not hard to make the plugin get the images from posts. All we have to do is to `wpdb_insert` a new row on the `wp_s3slider` table when something is checked, saved, etc.

Thanks for everything!
Vinicius

[Responder]

FLX — 11 de novembro de 2009 às 19:18 #

Hi,

I would like to opt for hyperlinks as well, would be damn handy!

[Responder]

Vinícius Massuchetto — 11 de novembro de 2009 às 19:38 #

That would certainly rock, but I’m now sure if the S3Slider will allow us to insert links on the text.

Maybe we can emulate links through JavaScript events ´onMouseOver´ and ´onClick´, but that will require some regexp coding.

[Responder]

Fantastic plugin! However, the pictures that I crop end up in very bad quality. Is there a way to stop this?

Vinicius Massuchetto — 11 de novembro de 2009 às 07:12 #

Yes there is.
On lines 52, 59 an 66 of the `s3slider_panel.php` file change the functions (respectively):

imagejpeg($s3s_image_crop,$s3s_filesdir.$_POST['s3slider_file_id'].’_s.’.$_POST['s3slider_file_type']);
imagepng($s3s_image_crop,$s3s_filesdir.$_POST['s3slider_file_id'].’_s.’.$_POST['s3slider_file_type']);
imagegif($s3s_image_crop,$s3s_filesdir.$_POST['s3slider_file_id'].’_s.’.$_POST['s3slider_file_type']);

To:
image[format]($s3s_image_crop,$s3s_filesdir.$_POST['s3slider_file_id'].’_s.’.$_POST['s3slider_file_type'], [quality from 0 to 100]);

e.g (in your case):
image[format]($s3s_image_crop,$s3s_filesdir.$_POST['s3slider_file_id'].’_s.’.$_POST['s3slider_file_type'], 100);

Hope it helps. =D

Nice!

Let me know if the conversion took too long to be completed, or even if the final file got too big.

Anyway, all you have to do is change that value (PHP has a standard one that I don’t remeber, have to see on the manuals).

[Responder]

hello, i use your plugin but ,i have a few questions ………

- it’s possible —> remplace a action with the mousse on image for don’t stop a cycle slider ?

- have you planned to add buttons of the type [1] [2] [3] [4] or the [back] [next] to the next version ?

good plugin continue :) thx (sorry for my english)

Vinicius Massuchetto — 11 de novembro de 2009 às 07:15 #

Hi Anthony.

I assure you that both of your ideas are possible, and are very good ideas too. Tough, I can’t code these options on the moment.

I can say that they depend much more of Javascript than PHP, so the original S3Slider Javascript framework.

Vinicius

[Responder]

Hi guys,
First off great job converting s3Slider to a wordpress plugin. However I’m having a bit of an issue with uploading JPGs and PNG. Only GIF is working? What could be the problem?
tnx david

Vinícius Massuchetto — 11 de novembro de 2009 às 19:33 #

Hi David.

It’s a bit hard to guess what’s happening. If I’m not wrong, IE and Firefox have different interpretations for file types, specially images.

What’s your browser? Have you tried Firefox?

[Responder]

David Jon — 11 de novembro de 2009 às 08:57 #

Hi.
I tried IE, FF and Chrome. None of em work….:(
its weird because i seem to be the only one…..i scrolled thru this page, but couldnt find anyone else with the same issue.

[Responder]

Vinícius Massuchetto — 11 de novembro de 2009 às 09:36 #

That’s true.

That can be something with the server too. Do you know if it’s a Unix or Windows server?

As long as your problem seems to be specific, we need some debugging of it to find out what’s happening.

t would be nice if you could paste the output of ´print_r($_FILES)´ and ´print_r($_SERVER)´.

Just put this on the footer of ´s3slider_panel.php´
print_r($_FILES);
print_r($_SERVER);

Go to http://codepaste.org and paste the huge ammount of strange text you’ll see, and send us the link.

Maybe with that we can help you.

Have you tried increasing the memory limit from 32MB to 64MB?

That’s in root/wp-settings.php

Hi Vinicius I can’t seem to get the slideshow to display everythgin seems to be set up correctly and then on the page it just won’t show my images. When I inspect the page I can see the “banner” is there in the correct size and the li contains all my images, but it’s just not displaying them. Can you take a look if you get a second.

Thanks

Vinícius Massuchetto — 12 de dezembro de 2009 às 16:24 #

Hi Scottywic, that can be due to a lot of things.

I saw on your code that you’re already running a jQuery instance. jQuery will fail to load twice and on different “noConflict” calls.

Most probably you’ll have to do some JavaScript hacking to get the slider working on this page.

Vinicius

[Responder]

It keeps telling me that it only accepts jpg, gif and png files, but when I try to upload files with those formats it still give the message.

Vinícius Massuchetto — 01 de janeiro de 2010 às 21:17 #

This bug has been reported some times. We’ll try to fix it on the next version.

Thanks!

[Responder]

Vini, I would like to see a bulk uploader and or the ability to select images in wpmedia. I know you created to use cropping but surely photos are standard sized and we could edit before posting. Also how about a random start or shuffle mode so each instance of hitting web page does not look the same. ta ~ Steve

Vinícius Massuchetto — 01 de janeiro de 2010 às 21:20 #

Hi Steve.

This plugin was designed to the lower level user (the one that don’t know how to edit photos). I can add and “auto crop” function, then.

Random start is quite easy too. Nice suggestion.

Thanks!

[Responder]

Hi!

Great plugin!

Only one little thing bothers me - it makes my website invalid.

I’m hoping that future releases of the plugin will not harm HTML Validation.

Thanks!
Keep up the great work!

Vinícius Massuchetto — 01 de janeiro de 2010 às 21:17 #

Thanks for reporting this.

[Responder]

Hello. Man what a relief! Very excited to come across this. In fact I thought it was acting screwy at first but it was a simple conflict with the div id of banner :) So I simply changed my logo’s div name. Yours deserves it more :)

Vinícius Massuchetto — 01 de janeiro de 2010 às 20:41 #

Well, that’s a common issue actually. That’s important because I never thought about the style names. On next versions I will change these names to avoid conflicts between existing and commonly used style names.

Thanks!

[Responder]

Hi great plugin but i have one small problem, i am using drop down navigation and the drop down sits behind the slider making the dropdown useless.

How can i fix it so the drop down can go over the slider?

Any help would be appreciated!

Great work!

Vinícius Massuchetto — 01 de janeiro de 2010 às 09:36 #

Hi Benny.

You’re most likely having a conflict between jQuery calls.
You can find and comment the line that calls jQuery on your theme. Try to do this specifically on the page that S3Slider is, or you’ll disable the dropdown on the entire theme.

Thanks.

[Responder]

Hello,

I havent’ read all the above comments so this suggestion may have already been made…

Can I suggest adding stripslashes() to line 162 of s3slider.php. This will then enable links to render correctly.

Thanks.

Great plugin by the way…

Somebody help me?

I got a problem with this plug-in. I put this plu-in in to my header but a lot of people see the picture for only a half and not the hole picture take a look at my website en reply this please?
