Developer Guide: Get all Slider Alias

Before Slider Revolution V6 you as a theme author could get a list of available Slider aliases with something similar to the following code:

// NOT WORKING ANYMORE
$slider = new RevSlider();
$arrSliders = $slider->getAllSliderAliases();

From Slider Revolution V6 the method “getAllSliderAliases” is not available anymore. It is replaced by a more general one called “get_sliders”. It will return an object with multiple informations about the sliders. You can call it like this:

// NEW FUNCTION
$slider = new RevSlider();
$objSliders = $slider->get_sliders();

See everything the method returns with a simple:

// PRINT ALL SLIDER OBJECTS
var_dump($objSliders);

Here is an example of how to walk through the entries to fill the options of a selectbox with aliases and titles:

// CREATE OPTIONS FOR SLIDER SELECTBOX
foreach( $objSliders as $slider ){ ?>
   <option value="<?php echo $slider->alias; ?>"    
   <?php if( isset( $params['alias'] ) ) selected(  $params['alias'], $slider->alias, true )?>>
      <?php echo $slider->title; ?>
   </option> 
<?php }
