djangocms-slider

A simple django cms slideshow plugin. For of https://github.com/urga/djangocms-slider, but using easy-thumbnails by default.

Features:

• There are 2 plugins: SlideShow and Slide. A SlideShow can only contains Slides. Those can be arranged in the order you want just like any other plugin.
• Each image can have a url specified (creating an anchor around the image)
• By default, creates a flexslider slideshow.
• By default, uses easy-thumbnails as a thumbnail plugin.
• Allows use of a custom thumbnail configuration in Django settings, using an slider_thumb_id field that should correspond to your id in THUMBNAIL_ALIASES.

So a settings of 'home_slider': {'size': (400, 200), 'crop': False}, in your THUMBNAIL_ALIASES, and a slider_thumb_id of home_slider in your Slider plugin/model (with use_simple_settings set to False) will result in the images being 400x200 instead of the settings in the slide.html template.

Of course, you can still override templates.

• Run ./manage.py migrate djangocms_slider
