=== iSlidex === Contributors: Dukessa Tags: slideshow, slider, featured, post slideshow, post slider, carousel, showcase, islidex Requires at least: 2.8 Tested up to: 2.9.2 Stable tag: 1.2 == Description == iSlidex is a Wordpress Plugin that will showcase, in an elegant and minimal way (the Apple way), images taken from posts in a specific category. It is indeed a slideshow plugin, completely automated once you set the number of slides you would like to feature, the size and the category from where iSlidex will pull the images. iSlidex comes also with a widget, which can be set independently from the main slider, from the same settings page, however we do recommend the use of the plugin only inside big sidebars, in order to be displayed in the best way. For a demo, [click here](http://demo.tutorialzine.com/2009/11/beautiful-apple-gallery-slideshow/demo.html). iSlidex uses the allmighty Timthumb script, so that every image is resized and cached automatically, and you dont have to worry about server load or manual size input every time. Credits to [TutorialZine](http://tutorialzine.com/2009/11/beautiful-apple-gallery-slideshow/) for releasing the base script. = About = Shambix can create any kind of plugin, template and widget for Wordpress, I guess that is why we are among Wordpress official Consultants for Europe on CodePoet :) so if you have any special request, feel free to contact us at info@shambix.com ENJOY! :) == Installation == = Importan Notice = * BECAUSE WORDPRESS CHECKS FOR UPDATES ONLY EVERY 12 HOURS, PLEASE COME AND CHECK THIS PAGE OFTEN AND MAKE SURE YOUR VERSION IS THE SAME ONE AS STATED HERE ON THE RIGHT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PLUGIN IT'S AT AN EARLY STAGE AND BUGS MAY BE FOUND AND FIXED OFTEN * You can also get the latest version directly [HERE](http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/islidex/trunk) = Instructions = 1.
