## Description
The website of the brazilian newspaper O Estado de São Paulo has a nice way to
display news in a retrospective-style (check [this screenshot or [this link](http://www.estadao.com.br/especiais/choque-nas-ruas,158638.htm) —
Flash required).
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could display WordPress posts in our pages and
categories
in the same way just by using a shortcode? The possibilities are many. That’s why
I wrote the Retrospective plugin for WordPress.
It has at least two advantages over the version you just saw:
* Does not require Flash (its implementation uses only CSS and jQuery)
* Has a option to respect the (time-)scale of the posts.
See _Installation_ for more info on how to use it.

## Installation
Upload the Retrospective plugin to your blog, activate it, then it’s
installed!
Its use is very simple. Wherever you add the shortcode _[retrospective]_ the
plugin
will draw that cool retrospective. The shortcode supports several attributes:
* _count_ — limit the number of posts to be displayed (default = 10; use -1 to
display all)
* _cat_ — display posts with category IDs comma-separated (default =
display all
posts)
* _width_ — the width of the timeline in pixels (default = 600)
* _delay_ — the time of the focus change animation in milisseconds (default =
1000)
* _scale_ — if set, respect the time scale in the distances between the points
in the timeline (default = false)
* _image\_width_, _image\_height_ — the dimensions of the thumbnail images in pixels
(
default = 300×180)
* _image\_border\_size_ — the size of the image’s border in pixels (default = 7)
* _image\_border\_color_ — the color of the image’s border in hexa RGB (default
=
000000)
* _image\_margin_ — the space between the images (default = 5)
* _date\_format_ — the date format in PHP format (default = d/m/Y)
## FAQ
How to style retrospectives?
The generated HTML is very easy to style (but just be careful with margins and
paddings, they’re set with !important attribute — I did it to try not to break with
any theme). Here is a sample:
```
```
How to style a specific retrospective?
The generated hash takes in consideration all the attributes sent to the
shortcode
and also how many retrospectives appeared before in the parsing of the actual page.
I made it that way to allow users to set up two exactly equal retrospectives in
the same page. Because of that, I don’t recommend setting styles for _#retro-uniquehash_.
I think a reasonable solution for this issue is to make something like
```
[retrospective]
```
when inserting the shortcode and then styling _#something\_that\_makes\_sense
.
retrospective
