Custom Slider Per Page created

Question

I am developing a site that will need to have a slider with 4-8 images, but only on certain page-types.

These pages must be editable and the sliders must be able to be updated whenever I'd like.

I can easily do the slider and the page theme, it's just the dynamic slider area that is getting me.

I've been theming wordpress for a long time but have never run into this situation, it's kicking my butt.

Any help would be appreciate, thank you for your time and effort.

Update I have the individual templates for the pages. And have looked into the conditional tags which will help for sure. I'm building this for a client who is new to Wordpress so I want to make the process very easy for them. They need to be able to post these slides themselves.

Answer 1

Well your options are to hook the slider into the page/post media gallery using something like get_children or get_posts attachments. Another option is to use a custom "image" field for the slider images and query them using query_posts.

Answer 2

Certain which page types? In general Conditional Tags > A PAGE Page allows to easily check for plenty of stuff.

You can also easily create individual templates for pages if they must be quite different from the rest.
