    1418This plugin is a light template/framework for developers to easily add an Ajax slider to a page. Use a shortcode to add a slider to a page.  Supports one slider per page.  Loads up the first slider and pulls in the rest of them via ajax, speeding up page load.  Incorporates a custom post type for the slider and utilizes the featured image of the post.

    4548== Frequently Asked Questions ==
    4649
    47 Q: What is the point of this plugin?. 
    48 A: Well, we don't like the "heft and weight" of some of the other plugins out there.  Often they load all the images at once, hiding the others and using JS to switch which one is visible.  This plugin is different.  It loads a single image/post and once the page is loaded, makes an AJAX request to retrieve the rest of them.  It recieves them in JSON format and the individual elements are switched rather than any hiding/showing going on.
    49 Q: What?
    50 A: Well, this plugin is more for developers or designers.  It doesn't take much to use, but it does require you to do your own styling and eventually we'll incorporate templating (so you can alter the markup without fear of future versions overwriting them).
    51 Q: What if I don't know CSS?
    52 A: We can certainly work with you, and later versions of this plugin might support automatic features and other tweaks. The point of this is an easy to get to template.  Fork it, incorporate it into a theme, have at it.  If you make changes to the core code, I'd recommend renaming and whatnot, so future versions don't overwrite your code.

     52We wanted a lightweight slider that we could use on many project.

     54Many other sliders had too many features, or didn't operate as we expected. Often they load all the images at once, hiding the others and using JS to switch which one is visible.  This plugin is different.  It loads a single image/post and once the page is loaded, makes an AJAX request to retrieve the rest of them.  It recieves them in JSON format and the individual elements are switched rather than any hiding/showing going on.
