Image slider

You could easily implement such a solution.

That has two components:

1) the javascript solution, including the xhtml/css part (usually using the jQuery library);

2) the template which to populate that solution with articles data.

You would have to first get the 1st component from among the image slider solutions available on the internet and then to produce the template which to generate the data from item no. 2 above.

I've built similar solutions over time for various projects.

thank you for your reply!

But I am looking for "plugin" or "extension" like just download it and boom! ....

or help me to find a step-by-step tutorial ?

You're welcome!

There is no such thing, that's why I've mentioned to you the way you could do it yourself.

Thanks!

It seems I couldn't find plugins which I want to have but I might find one of the reasons that MT is not any more popular than Wordpress nor Joomla ever... sad.

You're welcome!

Well, there are PROs and CONs with any platform.

The great news about movable type is that it has static publishing and it is SEO optimized by default, both in terms of the html syntax and the URLs.

It is also more secure than and a quite stable for large publications, than WP. Joomla is way out...

On the other hand, because MT was more for large customers, than for individual bloggers, there are not as many plugins and extensions as for WP.

What is nice about it for a developer, is that you could build up whatever you want with MT, as long as you know some basic HTML/CSS.

The more knowledge you have, the more things you could do.

There are tutorials about image sliders if you do some research on google. And then, if you nest that with the tags available at:

http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/appendices/tags/

You could build your widget yourself.

But unfortunately nobody thought about spending time to making such a solution available out of the box.

Why? Because we are all busy with large projects mainly for large publishing houses, but also for bloggers with large blogs which need a reliable CMS, even if it doesn't come in with as many plugins as WP.

BTW, MT was a lot popular than WP, but it lost a lot of the community after starting to license it.

A few years later MT started also an open source version, but it was a bit too late to recover its popularity for small bloggers.

thanks for information.
I was a MT blogger for 8 or 9 years (since MT1.5 era?) and recently I switched to WP.
I realized WP can't handle my huge audience so I need to consider to my MT back. but If i go back to MT with these current design, my audience would feel a lot of downsized design features....

I know you might say "Oh if you have a big access on your site you might have revenue enough to pay for customize" next....:P

thanks for replying unless you are " all busy with large projects mainly for large publishing houses".

I love(d) MT so I am really sad MT loosing opportunities for being the leading CMS.

good luck

Well, I continue to love it and I've been working with it every single day of my working days since 2002.

There are many things that could be improved on the community area and on making it friendlier for bloggers or small organizations.

There is a very active japanese community which wrote many books about MT5 and the number of themes and plugins in japanese are a lot many than the ones in english.

Hopefully Six Apart KK would find the resource to translate that material in English so that the non-japanese community could enjoy it.

But again, for companies with over 100,000 articles and over 1,000,000 comments MT rules the competition.

And guess what? There are many out there using it!

it´s possible to use any type of image slider? thanks!

That's really a matter of interest for my new project- any type of image slider possible?

You could use any type of image slider.

Basically you get the logic from the image slider and you use movable type to populate that with entries or pages content.
