18 Elements We all love Cu3er. It’s an easy to use, remarkable free flash component, created by Stefan Kovac. We use it on our front page and simply love it! Unfortunately Cu3er didn’t have a Wordpress plugin for everyone to use, until now!
Introducing Cu3er Post Elements plugin
It is simple to use and requires now programming skills, simply download the plugin, install it on your site activate and configure it, and you have all you need for running the Cu3er on your site.
The plugin pulls an image and you excerpt from a post and presents it as a cu3er gallery. You’ll need to configure your excerpts manually since Cu3er Post Elements doesn’t create an auto-excerpt for you (yet).
Download: Wordpress Repository
Current version: 0.5.0
Installation
- Upload `cu3er-posts-elements` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
- Activate the plugin via the Plugins menu.
- Configure options via the Settings > Cu3er Settings menu.
- Insert `<?php if ( function_exists(‘install_cu3er’) ) { install_cu3er(); } ?>` into your template file.
Where do I insert the code?
- Go to your Wordpress control panel
- Select Appearance > Editor
- Select one of the template files you’d like the Cu3er be inserted into. ( normally: Main Index Template (index.php) or Header (header.php) )
- Paste the code somewhere on that page. If you’re unsure go to your index.php, locate ` get_header(); ?>` at the top of the template file, and insert the code right after it. You’ll see the Cu3er appear right under your Header.
Using your own fonts
While using this plugin your posts will be able to use your own fonts. this is how you do it:
Open your Adobe Flash and create a new file
- Go to your library, right-click and choose “New Font …”
- Under the “Name” field type the name of the font “myFont”
- Select font & style from the respective drop down menus
- Click “advanced > linkage” and check “Export for Actionscript” and “Export in first frame”
- Click OK
- Open ‘ActionScript panel’ and register font by typing following AS code: `Font.registerFont(myFont);`
- Publish this swf for Flash Player 9 with Actionscript 3, as `font.fla`
- Copy published font .swf into the plugin’s directory on the server

Feb 3, 2010 22:44Not sure what’s going on, but all we can get is the Cu3er logo to load. Anyone else? http://screencast.com/t/ZGY3ZTlh

Feb 4, 2010 2:33Bah, so it looks like this may be where the plugin grabs the images: preg_match_all( ‘||i’, $post->post_content, $m );
We’d love to use it, but a) I have no idea what that means and b) we need our slider to pull the images from a custom key.
If you could add a custom key for images option, that would be AWESOME! Until then, old fashioned feature slider is what we’re stuck with.
Thanks!!
