Feel free to add your merge requests there, if you want to help to improve the plugin. = Translations: = Please help translating this plugin into multiple languages. You can submit your translations at [transifex.com](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/wp-link-view "wp-link-view at transifex").

There you can install new plugins in the menu **Plugins -> Add new**. Search for **Link View** and press **Install now**. If you want to install the plugin manually download the zip-file and extract the files into your `wp-content/plugins` folder. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Is it possible to use the shortcode in a widget? = Yes, a widget especially for the use of the [linkview] shortcode is included in this plugin. Insert the widget LinkView in your sidebar and set all attributes you want to change in the appropriate field. = Is it possible to add multiple slider on one site? = Yes, since version 0.3.0 you can use as many sliders as you want on one site. = Can I call the shortcode directly via php e.g. for my own template, theme or plugin? = Yes, you can create an instance of the `SC_Linkview` class which is located in `php/sc_linkview.php` in the plugin folder and call the function `show_html($atts)`. With `$atts` you can specify all the shortcode attributes you require. Another possibility would be to call the WordPress function `do_shortcode()`. == Screenshots == 1. Admin about page 2.
