WordPress CMS has a lot of useful features e.g. shortcodes, custom fields.
Look at the code example below:
function my_slider( $atts ) {
global $post;
extract( shortcode_atts( array( 'slide_category' => 0 ), $atts, 'slide_category' ) );
/*
...
*/
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'slide',
'showposts' => -1,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'slide_category',
'value' => $slide_category,
)
)
);
$qry = new WP_Query($args);
/*
...
*/
}
/*
...
*/
add_shortcode('mySlider', 'my_slider');
In example above it allows to output slides of exact category on page.
Possible slider shortcode usage can be:
[mySlider slide_category="1"]
Where mySlider is shortcode, slide_category is shortocode attribute which allows us to display flides of particular category.
To set slide_category – custom field should be added to each slide with slide category id.
