Should be unique if you want to include more then one slider per page, * "continous_loop" [ "yes" or "no", "yes" by default ] tell the scroller whether to make copies of content to scroll them one after another in loop, * "width" [ in pixels, "960" by default ] width of the slider, * "height" [ in pixels, "360" by default ] height of the slider, * "scroller_width" [ in pixels, "257" by default ] posts excerpt's scroller width, * "gap_between_slides_and_scroller" [ in pixels, "3" by default ] gap between slides and scroller, * "scroller_speed" [ in pixels per second, "40" by default ] posts excerpt's scroller scroll speed, * "scroller_direction" [ "forward" or "backward", "forward" by default ] posts excerpt's scroller scroll direction, * "thumbs_width" [ in pixels, "70" by default ] posts excerpt's featured image thumbnail width, * "thumbs_height" [ in pixels, "70" by default ] posts excerpt's featured image thumbnail height, * "post_ids" [ separated by comma posts id's list, empty by default ] posts ids to generate the slider from them.

Place [interactive_slider option1="value1" option2="value2" etc. ] in your post/page content == Frequently Asked Questions == = Why there is an empty image instead of a post related image? = Slides are made by scalling down orginal images ( setted up as a featured images for posts ). If a post does not have featured image setted up, then the default one ( empty image ) will be used. = Why slider is loading so long? = Slides are made by scalling down orginal images ( setted up as a featured images for posts ). First load of the slider on a website as well any later load ( after options was changed, e.g. after width or height was changed ) will require the plugin to generate scalled version of the orginal images and this may take a while. However after the scalled version is generated, the slider should load quite fast ( as all the images should fit the slider dimensions ) = How can I change default empty image for posts without its own featured image? = Replace the interactive-slider/images/intractive-slider-empty.jpg image with your own image.
