Upload the `slidedeck` folder and all its contents to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 1. Create a new SlideDeck from the new menu in the control panel sidebar 1. Insert a SlideDeck in your post or page by clicking on the `Embed a SlideDeck` button in the rich text editor or the button in the sidebar in the post/page view. You can also place a SlideDeck in your template or theme via the PHP command slidedeck(); Just pass the ID of the SlideDeck you want to render and an associative array of the styles you want to apply to the SlideDeck itself. For example: `'100%','height'=>'300px')); ?>` Where 12 is the SlideDeck's ID. You can also see this code snippet in the sidebar of the SlideDeck editing interface. == Frequently Asked Questions == The best place for getting your questions answered is via our [Get Satisfaction support thread](http://www.getsatisfaction.com/slidedeck). = I can't add a slide, it just shows me a wierd looking page = Make sure that you are running up-to-date plugins on your website and that they are all compatible with the version of WordPress you are running. We find that the most common cause of any problem with getting SlideDeck working on a website has to do with a plugin that isn't written for the version of WordPress you are running and it causes a conflict or a JavaScript failure (which prevents our JavaScript from loading). = I just purchased the Pro version, but I don't see a feature that the SlideDeck JavaScript library has = We try and move the features we develop for the JavaScript library over to the WordPress plugin as soon as possible, but it takes some time to integrate and create an interface to use the feature. Keep an eye on your Inbox for updates; we'll let you know when the plugin is updated with the feature. = I just put a SlideDeck on my site and I'm getting tons of "Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()!" errors, whats going on? = This error appears if you are running PHP 4 on your server. This is a bug in PHP 4 itself that is causing this error to occur. Please contact your web hosting company and ask them how to upgrade your web server to PHP 5; this is usally a quick switch flip in your web host's control panel. = My WYSIWYG editors are not loading = Make sure you are running up-to-date plugins. Some older versions of common plugins that add buttons to the WYSIWYG editor (such as Vipers video plugin) may cause the WYSIWYG editor to error out when it is initializing, preventing much of the JavaScript on the page from working. = My SlideDeck isn't loading = Make sure that your theme is running both the `wp_head();` command and the `wp_footer();` command, otherwise SlideDeck will not work properly. If you are manually loading jQuery in your template or theme after the `` command, you will overwrite the SlideDeck plugin extension. Make sure that `` is the last thing loading in your `` tag. If you need to load JavaScript for your WordPress theme, make sure you are using the `wp_enqueue_script();` command in your theme's `functions.php` file. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script for more information on how to implement this. = I can't get SlideDeck working with Buddypress = We've made some serious improvements to the way we are implementing interface elements, doing previews, etc. in version 1.2 that may resolve some of these issues. Please try the latest version of SlideDeck and let us know how it is working for you. = Pieces of the SlideDeck look wierd on my website = Sometimes you might see extra spaces between links or "closed" slides, this is usually due to a conflict with the WordPress theme you are running on your website and the SlideDeck CSS. We are constantly working to improve the stability of the CSS of SlideDeck, but sometimes there are some themes that do some CSS definitions we cannot accommodate for. We recommend looking into getting [Firebug](http://www.getfirebug.com) for [Firefox](http://www.firefox.com) and investigate the elements that look strange and try and correct your theme's conflicting CSS. = I want to put video in my SlideDeck, how do I do that? = We updated the WYSIWYG editor implementation method in version 1.2 to be more compatible with other plugins and to process shortcodes. Please be advised that it is up to the plugin author to choose to display their plugin buttons in WYSIWYG editors used outside of the Posts and Pages section of WordPress. So, you still may not see your shortcode buttons, but we do still process any shortcodes entered manually. Any sort of media though can still be embedded in a SlideDeck. Just click on the HTML edit tab for the slide and copy-and-paste the embed code for a video into a SlideDeck's content area. = I've placed a video in my SlideDeck, but it shows through the SlideDeck, even on closed slides = Flash doesn't play nicely all the time with fancy interactions like SlideDeck and the like, luckily there's an easy fix. Just add the the `wmode="opaque"` parameter to your embed code. For example, with a YouTube video embed code, this will change the code from this: `` to this: `` Take note of the addition of the `` tag inside the `` tag and the `wmode="opaque"` attribute on the `` tag. = I want to customize the way my SlideDeck looks, how do I do that? = We provide a few skins with SlideDeck, all of which you can edit. You will find all the skins located in the "skins" folder in the SlideDeck WordPress Plugin folder. Edit the CSS files in the skins folders to make changes. Just be sure and backup your changes before updating your plugin, otherwise you'll loose them! == Screenshots == 1. The SlideDeck editing view. Create a SlideDeck, add slides, re-order slides and change SlideDeck settings with the sidebar modules. 2. Preview your SlideDeck before you insert it into a post or into your theme. 3. SlideDeck integrates seamlessly in your post and page editing views. Just click on the `Embed a SlideDeck` button in the WYSIWYG editor and choose a SlideDeck you have created from the list in the dialog box. You can also specify dimensions for how the SlideDeck appears in your post. 4. Insert SlideDecks directly into your posts or pages. 5. Smart SlideDecks - create a SlideDeck out of your pre-existing posts! Choose the most recent posts on your blog, featured posts, or popular posts (requires at least WordPress 2.9+) and even filter by category. 6. Use `Gallery Style` Smart SlideDecks to create interactive elements in your theme or posts. 7. A preview of the Smart SlideDeck.
