Question

I’ve created a bit complex theme, which includes a slider. However, the slider needs to have multiple slides (of course), so I’m wondering, how to save them to wp-db.

Should I just create another table for the slider? I could do this, which sucks:

+--------+---------------------------------------+
| Slide1 | only-image|http://google.com/logo.png |
| Slide2 | text-on-left|Text|img-url             |
| Slide3 | text-on-bottom|Text|img-url           |
+--------+---------------------------------------+

Thanks,

Answer 1

I would use custom post type. That way I could keep editing features of wp and have a slider. 🙂
Of course I guess that you want to edit slides, or that you want users to have option to edit slides.
