Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/uweb/uw-slideshow/archive/refs/heads/master.zipUW Slideshow plugin for WordPress
This is the slider behind UW.edu as well as many other sites across the UW WordPress network such as the IMA.
The default layout is the one that appears on the IMA website.
The plugin creates a private custom post type with an drag and drop interface for arranging slides. Each slide has a designated shortcode that can be used.
There is a method that creates a JSON feed of the slideshows allowing the creation of the custom templates.
The function UW_Slideshow::get_latest_slideshow() returns a JSON object of the most recently created slideshow
which can be used in any template file. You can loop through the individual slides and template them accordingly.
