    I just downloaded the plugin and really like all the features you have included. I am using this plugin to create slideshows within the body of posts and expect to have hundreds of slideshows by years end. Currently when adding a new slideshow, it creates a tab for the latest slideshow adjacent to the previous one. That current format will be somewhat daunting to manage at years end and was wondering if you have some code that would allow old slideshows to display in a drop-down list (or something more manageable) instead of the tabs? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi cwhebert,

    Good suggestion. I’ll add something in to the next release of Meta Slider to change the tabs to a dropdown list once a certain limit has been hit.

    Regards,
    Tom.

    Wish there was something I could do in the meantime…I may try and play around and see if I can come up with something. I will pass along any enhancements for your review if I am able to do it. Thanks for a great plugin and I look forward to the next release.

    Hi Matcha, I’m delighted to hear you plan to work on this. It is critical for me too.

    My webguy and I looked at all the slide options and MS was the best. We eliminated a couple of other plugins, and next want to convert Picasa (now Google+) image sets exclusively to MS.

    Like cwherbert this will ultimately mean *hundreds* of MS slideshows making ordering them essential. In addition to *seeing* all the shows, it is also important to add an Alpha sort function.

    You have created a terrific free plug-in. The only reason I haven’t upgraded to Pro is that I’m not using Vimeo, YT or HTML slides. But…I’d upgrade to get enhanced tab organization! Just an idea to make this worth your time.

    When do you expect to release your next new version? Thank you!

    Hello… I really like the MetaSlider but desperately need a way to view (and sort) all my slideshows. I’ve maxed out on the number of slideshow tabs that will display and I’ve temporarily gotten around this by shortening the names. However I’m at the point where I can go no further.

    Any idea when there may be a fix for this issue?

    Thanks,
    Tom

    Oh, that’s awesome, Tom. Please please make this happen in the next update. I guess that’s the only drawback MS has right now. Something to sort the tabs and view it in different manner for large number of tabs will make the plugin even perfect.

    Thanks, please make our lives a little easier! 🙂

    Hi, good news..

    I’ve added a setting (filter) to allow you to specify how many tabs the admin panel should display before the tabs are converted to a drop down list.

    It’s not tagged yet (it’s still a bit rough around the edges) so you’ll have to download the developer version from this page:

    http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ml-slider.zip

    Then you’ll need to add this code to your themes functions.php file:

    function metaslider_max_tabs() {
        return 5; // specify the number of tabs you want to see before converting to a dropdown
    }
    add_filter('metaslider_max_tabs', 'metaslider_max_tabs');

    Regards,
    Tom

    Tom you’re the best, thank you.

    I’ve already purchased a Pro version.

    1. You deserve the money for creating such a great plug-in! (as noted above, MetaSlider is replacing a few less versatile plug-ins I’ve been using)

    2. We want the full functionality from your great tool.

    Thanks again for your quick help.

    Hei Tom, great filter, thanks but… how i can give a name (or rename) newest slider?

    Hi Marco,

    There should be a ‘Title’ field in the slideshow settings when that filter is in place.
