Example: [nivo] using the id= parameter to select multiple posts in a defined sequence

hover to slideToggle source

On the [lwp] support forum someone asked to be able to specifically choose the images to display in the nivo slider and control the sequence in which they are displayed, without having to upload the images multiple times. e.g. on one page use [[nivo id=1,2,3,4]], on another use [[nivo id=2,1,4,3]] and on a third use [[nivo id=4,2,1,3]]With oik v2.1 it is now possible to use the <code>id=</code> parameter to select the specific attachment images to display. By default the sort sequence will be in the order you specify the ids.[div class=w50p5]Here we see 3 images of Ditto in sequence: 8260, 8261, 8262[[nivo id=8260,8261,8262 theme=dark]][nivo id=8260,8261,8262 theme=dark][ediv][div class=w50pc]Here we see the same 3 images in reverse order: 8262, 8261, 8260[[nivo post__in="8262 8261 8260" theme=light]][nivo post__in="8262 8261 8260" theme=light][ediv]Note: <code>id=</code> and <code>post__in=</code> are interchangeable. <h3>See also</h3>[bw_code nivo][bw_plug name=oik-nivo-slider]<a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/order-based-on-include-parameter?replies=5" title="WordPress support topic: oik-nivo-slider: Order based on include parameter" target="_blank">WordPress support topic: oik-nivo-slider: Order based in include parameter</a>[bw_link 2102][bw_parent]<h3>Technically</h3>The new logic for oik v2.1. is implemented in [bw_api bw_get_posts]. The solution to this problem was to use the "post__in" parameter to get_posts(), also using the orderby=post__in sort sequence by default when selecting multiple ids. [clear]<hr />[bw_wtf]
