I'm looking for a image slider that looks like this but has the admin functionality to select which posts are to be featured, and then automatically pulls in the title, excerpt and featured image straight into the slider.
I'd also like to be able to manually crop the image for the slider.
The Nivo Slider For Wordpress works great for manually cropping the images but has no connection with posts. You have to manually create the slides.
I've found plugins that offer similar functionality but not all together!
Anyone know anything like this?
