JJ NextGen JQuery Carousel

The ‘JJ NextGen JQuery Carousel’ allows you to create a ‘JCarousel’ (http://sorgalla.com/projects/jcarousel/) as a widget or as a shortcode. This plugin uses the ‘NextGen Gallery’ plugin for its images.

Requirements:

• NextGen Gallery Plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/)

NextGen Gallery Integration:

• This plugin uses the original width and height of the image uploaded so make sure the images are the correct dimensions when uploaded.
• If a width and height are defined under the configuration all images will be resized to those dimensions (Highly recommended).
• Alt & Title Text Field: Provide a full url here and the image will link to this. Only works if alt field starts with either of these; /, http, or ftp.
• Description Field: Will be used as image alt text. If alt text is present but not a valid url alt text will be used instead for image alt text.

You can specify the following parameters:

NOTE: sc means shortcode:

• Title: Title. Leave blank for no title. (sc: title=»My Carousel»)
• Gallery: Leave blank to use all galleries or choose a gallery to use. (sc: gallery=»galleryid»)
• Order: Order to display results in. You can choose; Random, Latest First, Oldest First, or NextGen Sortorder. Random will still work when a page is cached. (sc: order=»random»|»asc»|»desc»|»sortorder»)
• Shuffle: If order is random and this is true will shuffle images with javascript. Useful if your are caching your pages. (sc: shuffle=»true»|»false»)
• Max pictures: The maximum amount of pictures to use. (sc: max_pictures=»6″)
• HTML id: HTML id to use. Defaults to ‘jcarousel’. Needs to be different for multiple instances on same page. (sc: html_id=»jcarousel»)
• Skin class: Class of skinning to use. Defaults to use the tango skin. (sc: skin_class=»jcarousel-skin-tango»)
• Image width: Width of image. Defaults to 75. (sc: width=»200″)
• Image height: Height of image. Defaults to 75. (sc: height=»150″)
• Image gap: Gap between images. (sc: gap=»5″)

Please check the JCarousel home page for more details (http://sorgalla.com/projects/jcarousel/#Configuration).
