Read the next section for information on the configuration settings.
This plugin contains various settings at the top of the script which you can modify. Each setting will be listed below along with a description.
images : At the top of the script is an array of images that are displayed after a set amount of time. You can include as many images as you want, so long as each image URL is separated by a comma.
start_delay : Defines the start up delay in miliseconds (ms) before the default banner is rotated.
duration : Defines the duration in miliseconds (ms) that each rotated banner is displayed.
height : Defines a default height for all images in the rotation. The measurement used can be px, em, %, etc.. By default, the value is set to [b]auto[/b] which is the default height of each image. It's recommend to use images of the same dimensions, as images of different sizes can cause jumping, stretching, etc.. Use this option to set a default height if you experience anything of the like.
fade_image : When set to true the images will fade in and out. Setting this option to false will disable fading.
fade_duration : Defines how fast the fading should be in miliseconds (ms).
keep_initial : When set to true this option will keep your default banner, and add it to the rotation as well. Set this option to false if you want to remove the default banner from the rotation.
remember_position : When set to true this option will remember the last banner it was on, so when you change the page it'll start up where it left off. Set this option to false if you want the banner slide show to start over each time.
preload : When this option is set to true all images in the script will be preloaded. This can help prevent jumping and partially loaded images. If you don't want the images to be preloaded simply turn this option to false.
