Feature static pages in slider?

[jlolive]

Is it possible to feature static pages instead of posts in the slider? Please advise how.

Thanks!

Add this html to your post, notice how image title and the ID of the div are matched

<div id="custom-slider">

<a href="http://localhost/WpDev/?p=1133" title="Testing AdSense loading">
        <img src="http://localhost/WpDev/wp-content/themes/SwiftPremium/images/default.png" class="slide-thubnail" width="936" height="577" title="#post_1133"/></a>
<a href="http://localhost/WpDev/?p=1118" title="Ok image test">
        <img src="http://localhost/WpDev/wp-content/themes/SwiftPremium/images/default.png" class="slide-thubnail" width="936" height="577" title="#post_1118"/></a>
</div>
    
<div id="post_1133" class="nivo-html-caption">
    <h2>Testing AdSense loading</h2>
    <p>jQuery(‘#fuck’).load(‘http://localhost/WpDev/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/6181315141_0b9419e3a4_b-48×48.jpg #content’);</p>

</div>    
    
<div id="post_1118" class="nivo-html-caption">
    <h2>Ok image test</h2>
    <p>Ok caption</p>
</div>

Now add this to footer scripts option in general settings

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(window).load(function() { 			jQuery('#custom-slider').nivoSlider({prevText: '',  		        nextText: '',        controlNav:false, 		        effect:'fade', 		        animSpeed:600, 		        pauseTime:5000 			}); 		});
</script>

Sorry, not advanced enough to understand this and make work. Messed around a bit but no success. Please advise how to make the posts redirect to the static page (?page_id=84 for example) or how to feature static pages directly. THANK YOU!!!

goto swift/lib/includes/ in ftp
Find the slider you are using
change this code

if( $swift_options['featured_cat_home'] && $swift_options['featured_cat_home'] != 0 )
$query='cat="'.$swift_options['featured_cat_home'].'"&showposts='.$swift_options['featured_posts_number_home'];
else
$query='&showposts='.$swift_options['featured_posts_number_home'];
$recentPosts = new WP_Query();
    $recentPosts->query($query); 

to

$query='&post_type=page&showposts='.$swift_options['featured_posts_number_home'];
$recentPosts = new WP_Query();
    $recentPosts->query($query);

Thank you for your quick reply! One more question... which slider .php file is for the "Large Image" Featured Slider: 1, 2, or 3?

If you haven't done any major customization, switch to v6.0.

[jlolive]

Currently using SwiftPremium v0.6

[jlolive]

Where can I download v6.0?

[Satish]

go to the shop, and click on "add/renew subscriptions"

[jlolive]

Can you provide a link? I can't find this option. Thanks
