Upload the `slidedeck` folder and all its contents to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 1. Create a new SlideDeck from the new menu in the control panel sidebar 1. Insert a SlideDeck in your post or page by clicking on the `Embed a SlideDeck` button in the rich text editor or the button in the sidebar in the post/page view. You can also place a SlideDeck in your template or theme via the PHP command slidedeck(); Just pass the ID of the SlideDeck you want to render and an associative array of the styles you want to apply to the SlideDeck itself. For example: `'100%','height'=>'300px')); ?>` Where 12 is the SlideDeck's ID. You can also see this code snippet in the sidebar of the SlideDeck editing interface. == Frequently Asked Questions == The best place for getting your questions answered is via our [Get Satisfaction support thread](http://www.getsatisfaction.com/slidedeck/topics/wordpress_plugin_support). = My SlideDeck isn't loading = If you are manually loading jQuery in your template or theme after the `` command, you will overwrite the SlideDeck plugin extension. Make sure that `` is the last thing loading in your `` tag. If you need to load JavaScript for yout WordPress theme, make sure you are using the `wp_enqueue_script();` command in your theme's `functions.php` file. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script for more information on how to implement this. = Can I use my purchased Pro version with this plugin? = Yes, you can, but currently this version of the plugin is not setup to allow you to configure all the options you can with the Pro version. This is a feature we are going to implement though in a future version. To use your copy of the Pro version instead of the Lite version we distribute with this plugin, just uncompress your Pro version ZIP file to the `lib` sub-folder of the SlideDeck plugin folder, overwriting all files found there. == Screenshots == 1. The SlideDeck editing view. Create a SlideDeck, add slides, re-order slides and change SlideDeck settings with the sidebar modules. 2. Preview your SlideDeck before you insert it into a post or into your theme. 3. SlideDeck integrates seemlessly in your post and page editing views. Just click on the `Embed a SlideDeck` button in the WYSIWYG editor and choose a SlideDeck you have created from the list in the dialog box. You can also specify dimensions for how the SlideDeck appears in your post. 4. Add your SlideDeck directly to your template and make it a fixed feature of your design! 5. Insert SlideDecks directly into your posts or pages. == Changelog == = 1.0.35 = * Modified preview to use UTF-8 character set. * Specified removal of background image from preview. * Added UTF-8 character set decoding to template processing for proper UTF-8 output. * Specified text-align:left in preview to override odd text-align:center default. * Changed JavaScript and Stylesheet inclusion methods to be more reliable. = 1.0.31 = * Bug fix for HTML/WYSIWYG editor syncing. = 1.0.3 = * Fixed minor bug that prevented HTML editing view from syncing with WYSIWYG editors. = 1.0.2 = * Updated database schema to use UTF-8 collation and character sets for title and content fields on SlideDecks and SlideDeck slides for better international language support. = 1.0.1 = * Update of JavaScript library to version 1.1.3. * Changed method of creating SlideDeck instances to use direct Class instancing instead of extended jQuery method. = 1.0 = * Addition of media uploads to SlideDeck slides and per SlideDeck gallery associations. * Addition of SlideDeck preview interaction. * Addition of theme PHP snippet sidebar module. * Addition of embed button in rich editor view sidebar for better visibility. * Lots of bug fixes for data storage, character escaping and encoding. * Lots of bug fixes for proper use of plugin in WordPress 2.7.x environments - removed jQuery `.live()` references and adapted jQuery UI skinning for older version of jQuery UI that comes with WordPress 2.7.x. = 0.5 = * Initial beta release with basic SlideDeck creation, management, and placement. == Upgrade Notice == = 1.0.35 = Preview changes, UTF-8 decoding on output, and changed JavaScript and Stylesheet inclusion methods to be more reliable. = 1.0.31 = Bug fix for WYSIWYG editors when saving. = 1.0.3 = Bug fix for slide editors.
