Hi guys.............. I wanted to know if I can add a slider which automatically keeps updating in my blogger blog. There is a slider extension available for blogger blogs but it doesn't update posts automatically.. I will be thankful to you if you help me in this situation.. I have tried the one mentioned here http://www.helperblogger.com/2012/04/automatic-recent-posts-slider-with.html .. It was working but the slider's arrow were showing on the top of my blog instead of showing on the slider... Help!!!
This is better if you are using Wordpress platform. It will have many plugins support for slides, however on Blogger you will need to copy/paste embed from, as example, Photobucket into your blog.
ill be honest, wordpress if the best platform for this, and i dont think its that hard to move from blogspot to wordpress. there are many themes for wordpress with auto updating sliders so i would reccomend that.
Like the others have said, wordpress would be better, You can then use; <div class="coda-slider" id="slider-id"> <!-- Featured category Slider --> <?php // array of category IDs $categories = array(1,4,6,7,8,9,10); foreach ($categories as $cat) : $post = false; $post = get_posts('cat='.$cat.'&posts_per_page=1'); if($post) : $post = $post[0]; setup_postdata($post); ?> <div> <?php the_content(); ?> <span><h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3></span> </div> <?php endif; ?> <?php endforeach; ?> </div><!-- close slider--> Change array(1,4,6,7,8,9,10); to the categories you want to be shown in the slider and it will auto update You will also need "coda-slider"
I think that I better switch to wordpress... But then I have about 40 posts in my blog.. They will all get ruined due to this.......
I would suggest using java script for sliders. Otherwise wordpress can be used as a platform for developing blog which offers lots of unique features.
