The navigation is hidden if a slideshow has 50 or more slides, this bug will be fixed in the next version of Meteor Slides. You can fix this by editing line 120 of meteor-slides.css in meteor-slides/css/ like this:
.meteor-nav a {
display: block;
outline: none;
position: absolute;
text-indent: -9999px;
width: 27px;
height: inherit;
z-index: 999;
}
It’s amazing how problems get fixed when you can turn to somebody who knows !!!
Much appreciated, Josh !
Just making a nuisance of myself 😉
You know the horizontal window that shows page navigation, well it only displays 2 lines of circles, whoch means that one cannot get back to start in one shot.
You’l be glad to know that I will soon be off to bed 😉

If you can post a link to the page with that slideshow I can take a look, but if you have too many slides, using just prev/next navigation might be a better option for that slideshow.
I don’t suppose you will get access to the page if I give you a link since it is at present working locally under Wampserver ?
So I am sending you a printscreen by separate email if that answers your question.
As far as using prev/next navigation only, , is it then possible to choose navigation per slideshow ?
The navigation option is sitewide, you can’t choose different navigation for that one slideshow, but you can hide the paged navigation.
The paged navigation has a unique ID for each slideshow, so if you want to hide it on a slideshow with the slug of “jupiter”, you can use this CSS:
#meteor-buttonsjupiter {
display: none;
}
All right. I think I’ll leave it as it is, since visitor can always come some way back if not right to beginning.
I would have thought circles display window could have been made bigger, but so much for displaying so many slides 😉
Thanks again for everything.
The button container will scale to fit them, but you need to add more padding below the slideshow to make room for the extra buttons, try edit this rule, bumping it up to 40px or so:
.navpaged, .navboth {
padding: 0 0 20px 0;
}
You might also need to move them up from the bottom so the other rows don’t get cut off, try changing the bottom position to 20px:
.meteor-buttons {
bottom: 5px;
left: 0px;
margin: 0;
position: absolute;
z-index: 50;
}
I just don’t think the paged nav is very practical beyond 10 or 15 slides.
in what file do you find these lines, if I may ask ?
In the meteor-slides.css file, but make sure to use a custom stylesheet to avoid losing your changes when you update the plugin.
Changing the padding to 40 seems to have done the job and no problem (so far !) with 140 slides !
Thanks again.
Wow, that’s a lot of slides!
