## Description

This plugin adds a ‘Slide’ post type to WordPress. These work like normal posts,
and can be grouped into ‘Slide Groups’ which work just like post categories. Once
you have created all your slides in the appropriate groups, you can add a slider
to any page or post by using the bamboo-slides’ shortcode. You can have multiple
sliders on one page, and they can be anywhere you like, so they work just as well
for footers as they do for banners.

Each slide can contain any type of content that a post can, and depending on the
chosen mode, the slides will be switched , faded, or slid into view. Slides can 
also have a feature image, which if supplied will be used as the background image
for the slide.

Usage

Insert the ’bamboo-slides’ shortcode into your content as follows:

    ```
    [bamboo-slides group=homepage slides timer=4 buttons=on indicators=on mode=fade]
    ```

All of the attributes are optional, with the following possible values:

group
 Selects the group of slides to display, if not set all the slides will be
displayed regardless of which group they are in

timer
 Number of seconds to wait between each slide, if set to 0 the slides will
only change when the buttons are used

buttons
 If this is set then the slides will have buttons enabling the user to advance
the slides manually

indicators
 If this is set then the slides will have indicators at the bottom indicating
the current slide

mode
 switch Simple switch from one slide to next fade Fade each slide in and out
slide_left Slide from right to left slide_right Slide from left to right
