Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about oik-nivo-slider
Note: oik-nivo-slider is dependent upon the oik plugin. You can activate it but it will not work unless oik is also activated.
If you simply want to show all the attached images to a page, post or custom post type then use [nivo] I typed [nivo] and got [nivo] back You need to activate both the oik-nivo-slider plugin and the oik base plugin. The [nivo] shortcode only becomes functional when [oik] is loaded. My images do not appear in the slider The most common fixes to this problem are:
The slider requires jQuery. Check that your theme files contain calls to wp_head() and wp_footer().
The basic parameters that control the display of the Nivo slider are: [nivo theme="default|bar|dark|light|oik|orman|pascal|default271|oik271 - Theme for the slideshow" link="y|n|file|full - Link the images to the target post/page or media file" caption="y|n - Display the image title as the caption" ribbon="y|n - Display the ribbon, if the theme supports it (version 271 only)" thumbnail="full|thumbnail|medium|large|nnn|wxh - image size" class="|classes - CSS classes" thumbs="|n|y - thumbnail navigation" effect="random|sliceDownRight|sliceDownLeft|sliceUpRight|sliceUpLeft|sliceUpDown|sliceUpDownLeft|fold|fade|boxRandom|boxRain|boxRainReverse|boxRainGrow|boxRainGrowReverse|slideInLeft|slideInRight ]
There are three methods. Use the oik custom link URL field Build the slideshow from images attached to related content Use the format= parameter Use the oik custom link URL field If your slide show is created from attached images then use the oik custom image link URL field in the Add Media dialog to set the target for the link. Images attached to related content Alternatively build the slideshow dynamically from images attached to related content. Use the post_type parameter to specify the content type and either the post_parent parameter for hierarchical content types or category for posts or other selection criteria for other content types [nivo post_type="post_type - Post type to display" post_parent="|ID - Parent ID to use if not current post" ] Use the format= parameter [nivo format="L" ] [nivo format="T/C" ]
[nivo post_type="attachment|post_type|special:value - Post type to display" theme="default|custom|bar|dark|light|oik|orman|pascal|default271|oik271 - Theme for the slideshow" class="|classes - CSS classes" link="y|n|file|full - Link the images to the target post/page or media file" caption="y|n - Display the image title as the caption" ribbon="y|n - Display the ribbon, if the theme supports it" thumbnail="full|thumbnail|medium|large|nnn|wxh - image size" thumbs="|n| y - Thumbnail navigation" nav="|n| y - Control navigation" pause="|pause - Pause time in milli seconds" manual="|n| y - Manual advance" effect="random|sliceDownRight|sliceDownLeft|sliceUpRight|sliceUpLeft|sliceUpDown|sliceUpDownLeft|fold|fade|boxRandom|boxRain|boxRainReverse|boxRainGrow|boxRainGrowReverse|slideInLeft|slideInRight - transition effect" numberposts="5|numeric - number to return" offset="0|numeric - offset from which to start" category="|category-id - category IDs (comma separated)" category_name="|category-slug - category slugs (comma separated)" customcategoryname="|category-slug - custom category slug" orderby="date|ID|title|parent|rand|menu_order - Sort sequence" order="DESC|ASC - Sort order." include="|id1,id2 - IDs to include" exclude="|id1,id2 - IDs to exclude" meta_key="|meta key - post metadata key" meta_value="|meta value - post metadata value" post_mime_type="|image|application|text|video|mime type - Attached media MIME type" post_parent="|ID - Parent ID to use if not current post" post_status="publish|pending|draft|auto-draft|future|private|trash|any - Post status" id="|IDs - IDs of posts to display" ]
NO. You can enable the oik TinyMCE shortcode or quicktag buttons. See oik options > Buttons.
The oik Nivo slider is developed using the OIK (Often Included Key Information) API (Application Programming Interface). If you don't have the OIK plugin installed and activated then the Nivo slider shortcode won't work. Specifically, the code is dependent upon bw_get_posts() to obtain the list of attachments, posts, pages or custom post types
I can't see some of the images in my slideshow The default image size is thumbnail=full. At present the bw_thumbnail() function will only return an image for a particular post id
OR ensure that the image you want to display is attached to the post OR exclude the post from the list ( exclude=id1,id2 )
