Congrats on RC3 Can’t wait till the full one comes out! According to the dev chat it was supposed to be today, but we will see. I really need to set up a script for that… This particular site was behind all set now.

Back on topic. I’m not getting the error, and the SVN has my headers all set. Try deleting the plugin and reinstalling it.

Today I updated to dtslider version 1.2 and to WP RC 3 today. Worked!

Until I went to the plugins admin page and got this message:
“The plugin dtSlider/dtSlider.php has been deactivated due to an error: The plugin does not have a valid header.”

I’m sure that’s an easy fix. Then later I hope to work on reconciling Coda and Superfish versions of jquery.

Yes, this plugin requires a different version of jQuery than the one provided by WordPress.

Please try renaming the enqueue jQuery in my plugin to something different and commenting the deregister jQuery line, letting two versions of jQuery to run together. It might mess something up, if it does I will look for another jQuery plugin (besides coda-slider that works with the WordPress version of jQuery) to use in the WordPress plugin.

That got me closer. Not yet sliding or disappearing. I’m looking for conflicts … I noticed that deregistering the default jquery and enqueuing the one that comes with the plugin interfered with my superfish jquery functionality built in with Thematic. So I commented out those lines, to use the default jquery. Superfish is working again, but not the slider … not yet. I’ll look more closely soon to see if it’s my fault.

Must this plugin require a switch to the included jquery rather than the default?

I found a bug that was probably giving you those problems (It wasn’t you). I updated the SVN, and I am waiting for it to show my changes.

If you want it working now, in the last function at the bottom of the page change the paths in the enqueue section to say dtslider instead of dtSlider.

For the full explanation of each one of the arguments see the faq . The actual short code for the example above is

 [dtSlider query=post_type=post id=post_example args='dynamicTabs: false, dynamicArrowRightText: ">>", dynamicArrowLeftText: "<<"']

. Right now it works in pages posts, and Wordpress 3.0 custom post types. If you would like it to work in widgets let me know I will see what I can do.

I’m interested in getting this working. Would you mind posting an example of a functional shortcode with a basic query, id, and arguments? My attempts aren’t yet working. Are there limitations to where you can put this shortcode: in a post? page? sidebar widget??

Many thanks.

I found the problem! Chrome 4 doesn’t support {} (functions I believe). The problem is fixed in 5 (but new problems are introduced so I wouldn’t recommend it yet.)

I might try a simple user script, to get it to work.
