This plugin was developed to display excerpts from random posts in a category. jQuery is used for fading the plugin in and out. It's a great way for displaying testimonials of clients or just giving a snapshot of content from your site.<\/p>\n\n

Shortcode added as of version 1.4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The most basic use is: [reFader]<\/code> this will use the default options.\nHere is an example of all the options in use\n [reFader title=\"Random Excerpts\" cat=\"23\" type=\"post\" amount=\"5\" length=\"50\" duration=\"5000\" linked=\"no\" url=\"http:\/\/www.jackreichert.com\/\"]<\/p>\n\n

This will show 5 (amount) posts (type) from category #23 (cat). It will show 50 (length) words from each post and fade out\/in every 5 seconds (duration). It will not link each title to the corresponding post, but it will<\/strong> link all<\/strong> the titles to this plugins page (url).<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the RandomExcerptsFader folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
  3. Place widget in desired place and set options there.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    Are you planning on developing this further to include thumbnails?<\/dt>\n

    ~~Eventually.~~ Done!<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Is it true that you coded the first version of this plugin live on stage at a WordCamp, with Matt in the audience?<\/dt>\n

    Most definitely.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What about foo bar?<\/dt>\n

    The foo bar is not a problem here. Don't worry about it.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
