Retrospective

Descrizione

The website of the brazilian newspaper O Estado de São Paulo has a nice way to
display news in a retrospective-style (check this
screenshot

or this link
— Flash required).

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could display WordPress posts in our pages and
categories in the same way just by using a shortcode? The possibilities are
many. That’s why I wrote the Retrospective plugin for WordPress.

It has at least two advantages over the version you just saw:

  • Does not require Flash (its implementation uses only CSS and jQuery)
  • Has a option to respect the (time-)scale of the posts.

See Installation for more info on how to use it.

Installazione

Upload the Retrospective plugin to your blog, activate it, then it’s
installed!

Its use is very simple. Wherever you add the shortcode [retrospective] the
plugin will draw that cool retrospective. The shortcode supports several
attributes:

  • count — limit the number of posts to be displayed (default = 10; use -1 to
    display all)
  • cat — display posts with category IDs comma-separated (default =
    display all posts)
  • width — the width of the timeline in pixels (default = 600)
  • delay — the time of the focus change animation in milisseconds (default =
    1000)
  • scale — if set, respect the time scale in the distances between the points
    in the timeline (default = false)
  • image_width, image_height — the dimensions of the thumbnail images in pixels
    (default = 300×180)
  • image_border_size — the size of the image’s border in pixels (default = 7)
  • image_border_color — the color of the image’s border in hexa RGB (default =
    000000)
  • image_margin — the space between the images (default = 5)
  • date_format — the date format in PHP format (default = d/m/Y)

FAQ

How to style retrospectives?

The generated HTML is very easy to style (but just be careful with margins and
paddings, they’re set with !important attribute — I did it to try not to break
with any theme). Here is a sample:

<div id="retro-uniquehash" class="retrospective">
    <!-- TIMELINE -->
    <ul class="time">
        <li rel="0"><a href="permalink" style="left:0px;"><span>date</span></a></li>
        <li rel="1"><a href="permalink" style="left:300px;"><span>date</span></a></li>
        <li rel="2"><a href="permalink" style="left:600px;"><span>date</span></a></li>
    </ul>

    <!-- PHOTOS -->
    <div class="photos">
        <ul>
            <li rel="0"><a href="permalink" title="title">
                <img src="file" class="wp-post-image" /></a></li>
            <li rel="1"><a href="permalink" title="title">
                <img src="file" class="wp-post-image" /></a></li>
            <li rel="2"><a href="permalink" title="title">
                <img src="file" class="wp-post-image" /></a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>

    <!-- POSTS -->
    <ul class="posts">
        <li rel="0"><a href="permalink" title="title"><h2>Title <span>(date)</span></h2>
            <p>Excerpt</p></a></li>
        <li rel="1"><a href="permalink" title="title"><h2>Title <span>(date)</span></h2>
            <p>Excerpt</p></a></li>
        <li rel="2"><a href="permalink" title="title"><h2>Title <span>(date)</span></h2>
            <p>Excerpt</p></a></li>
    </ul>
</div>
How to style a specific retrospective?

The generated hash takes in consideration all the attributes sent to the
shortcode and also how many retrospectives appeared before in the parsing of
the actual page. I made it that way to allow users to set up two exactly equal
retrospectives in the same page. Because of that, I don’t recommend setting
styles for #retro-uniquehash. I think a reasonable solution for this issue is
to make something like

<div id="something_that_makes_sense">[retrospective]</div>

when inserting the shortcode and then styling #something_that_makes_sense
.retrospective
.
