hard coding slideshow into template

atracksler

I have a site that I want to hard code the slideshow into the single.php page so that a slideshow is dynamically created from the images uploaded to the post. 

I have:

<pre lang="php">

  <?php echo do_shortcode("[tribulant_slideshow]"); ?>

</pre>

in my template, but this is not pulling up a slideshow... 

Can this plugin do this?

@atracksler

Yes, you can do this.

The instructions are on the plugin's page: https://wordpress.org/plugins/slideshow-gallery/

Best is to just use the slideshow() function as indicated on that page.

But the code you showed should work fine actually, I don't see anything wrong with it.

Just says "no slides are available"

I have 3 images uploaded to the post. They are just uploaded to the post, they are not in the content.

How can I get these images to show?

@atracksler

Did you specify the $post_id parameter in the hardcoding?

Please paste your code here so that we can see.

I look forward to your response.

<pre lang="php">

<?php if (function_exists('slideshow')) { slideshow($output = true, $gallery_id = false, $post_id = false, $params = array()); } ?>

</pre>

If you want to output a slideshow with the media gallery images of a post, you need to specify the $post_id parameter.

Here is the correct code: http://pastebin.com/gXj6vzyu

Replace that "7" with the ID of the post containing the images.

If IM putting it on my single.php, how do I get the ID of the page?

Hi

You can get the ID of the page, by viewing it in your WordPress dashboard http://www.screencast.com/t/lpSby7Wk

As previously given use this code and replace the "7" with the id of the post you will find in your WordPress dashboard.

Did Marietha's suggestion to get the post/page ID help?

Is everything in order now?

atracksler

I understand what she meant.

I want this on my single.php, so the slide show will be different on each item. Can it dynamically grab the ID from the page?

@atracksler

Yes, you can do that

You can use the global $post object in WordPress.

Here is code that you can put into single.php: http://pastebin.com/SD6zpkq0
