Questions
- Is it possible to use the shortcode in a widget?
Yes, a widget especially for the use of the [linkview] shortcode is included in this plugin. Insert the widget LinkView in your sidebar and set all attributes you want to change in the appropriate field.
- Is it possible to add multiple slider on one site?
Yes, since version 0.3.0 you can use as much sliders as you want on one site.
- Can I call the shortcode directly via php e.g. for my own template, theme or plugin?
Yes, you can create an instance of the “SC_Linkview” class which located in “php/sc_linkview.php” in the plugin folder and call the function show_html($atts).With $atts you can specify all the shortcode attributes you require. Another possibility would be to call the wordpress function “do_shortcode()”.
