Hello,

I like this back ground slider.

If I want to use it on WordPress theme, (Actually, I will only put a back ground slider in landing page) is it too hard to adjust the code in CSS file or jQuery file?

Actually, I am tired to find a WP back ground slider plugin for my current project.

Thanks.

Hello, if you know how to include css/js file in WP theme then it will be not difficult

Thank you for the answer. I bought the plugin and I added all css and js file on WP theme. I also added all link files code on header.php but it doesn’t work now. All background color of WordPress pages are turned black but it doesn’t work.

Should I put the code below on each WP page instead of header.php? (Actually, I put the code on header.php) or is there any other way to make it work?

    <!-- Backslider -->
    <div id="bs0" class="backslider">
         <ul class="bs-slides">  
            <li><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/pictures/pic1.jpg" alt="Pic" /></li>  
            <li><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/pictures/pic2.jpg" alt="Pic" /></li>  
            <li><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/pictures/pic3.jpg" alt="Pic" /></li>  
            <li><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/pictures/pic4.jpg" alt="Pic" /></li>  
        </ul>
    </div>
    <!-- End Backslider --> 

It would be appreciated your answer.

Actually I think header.php is good place. Make sure you have also added init code for plugin. If it still won’t work, please contact me privately and give link to your site. Thanks!

can this be used with skadate?

Hello! I don’t know how skadate is design, but as long as you can insert html and custom styles and script you can use my plugin where you want. Basically you need to be able to upload files to your server and edit html page

Hi, really like your backslider and it’s exactly what i need for my website. I am ready to purchase it except that I don’t want the cross-hatching over the images. Is that something I can easily get rid of? Thank you.

Sure. You need to open backslider.css and remove whole

 .backslider .bs-overlay  { }
block, that defines overlay pattern

I didn’t see it listed in the “features” put is there a texture layer that you can define to go over the images?

Yes, plugin adds div with “bs-overlay” class. Texture then can be defined in backslider.css

hey there , if I have a div with images in it can I use the plugin and, if yes ,how? do you have a detailed manual somewhere?

thanx

Thanks for question! Yes, backslider works on a div with images

<div id="bs0" class="backslider">
    <ul class="bs-slides">  
        <li><img src="pictures/pic1.jpg" alt="Pic" /></li>  
        <li><img src="pictures/pic2.jpg" alt="Pic" /></li>  
        <li><img src="pictures/pic3.jpg" alt="Pic" /></li>  
        <li><img src="pictures/pic4.jpg" alt="Pic" /></li>  
    </ul>
</div>

When you will purchase Backslider you will get detailed documentation how to install and use this plugin.

I have a client who’s on a slow internet connection. By the time Backslider loads, it’s already halfway through the sequence of background images. Is there a way for the animations to only commence once the images have been loaded? I have preload set to true.

First of all I would recommend you to use images with reasonable size (width/height). Also I guess you are using timer mode. To make auto play timer start only after preload has completed, you need to do following:

in backslider init code add slidesLoaded callback

slidesLoaded: function() { $(this).trigger('backslider','resume'); }

and then below backslider init add this line

$('#bs0').trigger('backslider', 'pause');

Will this work with JQuery 1.4.3?

Yes, it will. I checked and it’s all working fine.

Hello, can I use your plugin to have on each subpage different sliders? I need it for each subpage extra…

Hello! Could you clarify your question

Hi,

How can I center the thumbnails?

Shani.

I am not sure you understood me correctly. I have only landscape photos and whatever I do I can only align the thumbnails to the right or to the left. I want the photos aligned to the center, meaning, if I have only two photos and I watch fullscreen, the thumbails are all the way to the right and are not noticed. I want to place the thumbnails at the center. If there is a css modification please tell me what to do, becasuse whatever I did did not work…

I’m sorry. Yes it’s possiblem to center thumbs on screen and you can do this with css. So open backslider.css and make sure that following classes look exactly as below:

.backslider .bs-controls {
position: absolute;
display: none;
left: 50%;
bottom: 10px;
z-index: 100;
}

.backslider .bs-controls .bs-thumbnails {
display: block;
float: left;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
overflow: hidden;
margin-left: 5px;
background: #000;
}

Excellent!! Thanks!!

Hello, I have a bug when i use image center with slide effect. The first image moves to the top/left when transition effect start can you help me please ? Cordially

here is the script <script type=”text/javascript”> $(document).ready(function(){ $(’#bs0’).backslider({ photoSource: ‘none’, mode: ‘timer’, effect: ‘slide’, timerDelay: 6000, effectTime: 2000, centerImages: true }); }); </script>

Hi gravity,

could you please tell me how to import your plugin into wordpress?

thanks!

Hi! It’s jQuery plugin, not Wordpress plugin.

Hey

I tried using your additional code you put in the FAQ regarding adding text over the image. I cannot seem to get this to work.

I have been adding the script in the html document in script tags but still nothing is showing up.

Please let me know a better solution to the text overlaying with each image.

Thanks

Ian

Hi!

I need to have a look. Send me your site URL using mail form on my profile page. Thanks!

ok will do now

thanks for getting back to me so quick, looking to solve this in the next hour

can this be use in the background image of a DIV insted of the background image of the whole page?

I already bought the script but I don´t understand how to do this: how to use it in a DIV insted of the whole page background, please can you give me details about this

The trick is to wrap backslider into another div. That div has padding as %, which is known to be calculated from width. Basically two classes will do the work:

.backslider-wrapper {
position: relative;
height: 0;
padding-bottom: 56.25%;
}
then position backslider
.backslider-wrapper  .backslider {
position: absolute;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}

Can you please clarify what preloadTime and preloadDelay are? I don’t understand the difference between the two. And what happens if preload is set to false?

Here is what these options mean 1) preload – whether you want backslider to preload all images (true/false); 2) preloadTime – duration of fade-in animation for images when they have been loaded; 3) preloadDelay – timeone before fade-in animation will start

Ok great thanks for clarifying

How can I change it to use the ‘crossfade’ effect rather than slide? Regards

- Ignore, figured it out!

Center Image function is not working in safari smaller resolutions.

Checked on ipad and iphone

This is waste for me if its not compatible with major web browsers. Please check and let me know.

I will check this as soon as possible and will reply over email.

In my backslider – the slider sizes the background correctly in almost all browsers except in Mac Safari and Mac Chrome. What is happening there, with relatively large screen size, is that on page load, the initial background slide image sizes itself at 100% of its width to the 100% browser width but the height displays proportionately so there is background color of the page showing below the image – however it corrects itself when resizing the window. This issue doesn’t really happen on other browsers and pc. Is there a way to make this work like other browsers on mac safari and chrome? Thanks!

actually – what happened was something in my code was keeping the first image from adding the class bs-portrait when loading at a portrait size orientation. not sure why – so i hacked it to change the css in @media orientation in the styles.

Thanks for contacting me. So the problem is solved?

Good stuff mate!
Works perfect, very simple and clean. 5 stars! :)

I’ve fixed my issue, and now slider works great! Can you tell me how can i set the ‘Next’ and ‘Prev’ navigation links in graphic, not just text? I see very nice arrows < and > on the demo website.

You need to make links block elements (display: inline-block) and use background css property to set background images.

Thanks, I’ve tried, but still no luck.

Great script. Can I have the controls mode and also activate the timer. Thanks for your help.

Also, Im using this code to create a new next and prev control. But only the next controls works.

<!-next WORKS OK -> \\ <script type=”text/javascript”> jQuery(function(){ jQuery(”.next”).click(function(e){ $(’#bs0’).trigger(‘backslider’,’next’); }); }); </script> <!- prev DOESNT WORK -> \\ <script type=”text/javascript”> jQuery(function(){ jQuery(”.prevoius”).click(function(e){ $(’#bs0’).trigger(‘backslider’,’prevoius’); }); }); </script>

Thanks for your help.

There was a syntax error on your help files…

previous != prevoius

Thanks. Still waiting the timer and control mode at the same time issue.

Thanks! Regarding

> Still waiting the timer and control mode at the same time issue

tell me what problem exactly you have. Right now as I see, you should switch backslider to timer mode as primary mode and use your custom controls for navigation.

Hi, Another question. Is there anyway to only preload the first image so that it fades in (I’m using crossfade). Right now with preload set to false, the first image is drawn by the browser normally (ugly) where it would be nice if it faded in as the rest of the images.

Example Site

Again, if I can pay you to implement this feature, let me know.

Thanks, Dave

Yes it’s possible and I can do this. Just drop me email on profile page to discuss the question.
