Wordpress Theme + SMOF Slider - php

Question

I'm currently developing a Wordpress theme for a personal website and decided to use the Slightly Modded Options Framework [SMOF] to make things easy. Everything has gone pretty well so far, it's indeed an awesome framework. Today I decided to use the built-on slider option the came within the Framework and implement it on my theme and here is where I found my self a little bit lost.
I managed to make the theme and framework show the slideshow, but it won't rotate/circle/slide/fade the images. It's only showing the first image, it stay still and won't change slides.
Here is my code in case that someone has knowledge with SMOF:
This is what I have on my functions.php:
$of_options[] = array( "name" => "Homepage Slideshow",
"desc" => "Slider Option Description",
"id" => "homepage_slider",
"std" => "",
"type" => "slider"
);
This is what I have on my theme index.php:
<?php $slides = $data['homepage_slider']; if ($slides) { ?>
<!-- Start my Precio... uhum! I mean Slider -->
<?php
foreach ($slides as $slide) {
}
?>
<?php if (!empty ($slide['link'])) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $slide['link']; ?>" title="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($slide['title'])); ?>">
<img src="<?php echo $slide['url']; ?>" width="950" height="369px" alt="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($slide['title'])); ?>" style="height: 369px; width: 100%;"/>
</a>
<?php } else { ?>
<img src="<?php echo $slide['url']; ?>" width="950" height="369px" alt="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($slide['title'])); ?>" style="height: 369px; width: 100%;"/>
<?php } ?>
<?php if (count($slides) > 1) { ?>
<!-- Die Slider! -->
<?php
} // End count
?>
<?php
} // End if
?>
Probably the issue resides on the loop, but honestly I have tried many ways and couldn't make it swap images. I'll really appreciate any tips and directions that help me work this out. Thanks everyone!

Answer 1

I am also using smof v 1.5 in a wordpress theme project. I've faced the same problem but after some research i've solved the issue. By using the following codes you can get the slider's each slide's values.
<?php
global $smof_data;
$slides = $smof_data['example_slider']; //get the slides array
foreach ($slides as $slide) {
echo $slide['title'];
echo $slide['url'];
echo $slide['link'];
echo $slide['description'];
}
?>
By using this code you can access each option element of smof and the key is "global $smof_data;" its not documented but i got if after reading ninezeroseven wordpress theme admin options files. Authors of ninezeroseven used this SMOF and i got the clue from the author coding. I've tried global variable $smof_data instead of $data and its works.
