WP Vegas

The Vegas Slider plugin is a WordPress version of the Vegas jQuery plugin.

In true WordPress fashion, it comes with a special backend section where new slides and images can be added and organized.

Once finished, Vegas Slider provides the user with a shortcode which they can use to embed the slider on a single page basis.

There's also a settings page which webmasters can use to enable one of the sliders site-wide.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

What is new in this release:

• Added 'random' attribute to make slideshows display slides in a random order
• Added random attribute to shortcode generator
• Added minor cursor hover effect over thumbnails

What is new in version 2.0:

• Rebranded the plugin to WP Vegas because it's simpler and I like it better
• Refactored how the plugin outputs code which is now much cleaner
• Redacted the readme.txt so it might actually be useful to someone
• Refactored the whole plugin into a class with methods
• Removed global option to add the slideshow to all pages because it seemed superfluous (can be done with do_shortcode)
• Removed unnecessary options and functions
• Removed title attribute
• Sanitize image IDs before they're saved
• Added a Help link on the plugins page to direct those who need help to some documentation
• Added a shortcode generator on the Add New/Edit Slideshow pages to help simplify that process
• Added support for adding images from the media library
• Added an ABSPATH check as an added security measure
• Completely redid how images are uploaded and saved
• Fixed default values not working for the shortcode
• Minified CSS and JS

Requirements:

• WordPress 3 or higher
