Description
This plugin allows content (Slideshows and Story Boards) hosted on Queensberry Workspace to be integrated into your blog.
By importing HTML on the fly from Workspace into a blog post the need for, and limitations of, iFrames is removed.
No configuration is required, and use is as simple as including a short code in your post like this [ws_gallery type=’slideshow’ eventid=’x’ id=’a’] or [ws_gallery type=’storyboard’ eventid=’x’ id=’a’]
When using the Workspace «Blog It» feature these tags will be included automatically in the published post.
Your blog readers will then see a perfectly formatted slide show of all your images hosted in that Collection on Workspace.
WordPress do not normally like plugins that call data from remote sites, so we need to be clear about how this works. Your images are hosted on Queensberry Workspace and this plugin talks to Workspace to request the HTML, CSS and Javascript needed to display your images in a slideshow or story board. This HTML etc is then embedded in your blog post as it is sent to your readers computer.
No code is executed on your blog other than to request the required information and no images are stored on your blog. There is no need to configure the plugin.
