I have created 2 different slides shows and defined them to a particular "show" but the second is over riding the first...on all pages. Do I have to create a separate template?

No, you don't need to do that, you can use the same template for all the slideshows. Are you using the slideshow's slug to specify a slideshow? Using the title can cause problems.
Can you post a link to the site you are working on?

Posted 6 months ago #I've created a subfolder and uploaded wordpress and the local changes but have not been successful at seeing my site. Is there an extension I need to enter (since there isn't a html) to the folder that would bring up the php?

Posted 6 months ago #I've finally got the practice site up. I now have one show working on localhost. However, I am having issues with Fatcow. The plugin is installed and working but when I attempt to set the featured image the "show" option is not working. And this is secondary to my not being able to view page content or html even though the pages display properly. So I believe I'm going to have to do a re-install. I'll keep you posted and thanks for the reply.

I hope you get your hosting issues figured out, once WordPress is running correctly you shouldn't have any problems with Meteor Slides.

Posted 5 months ago #Finally hosted and have the slideshow running. Can't wait for the version for different slide shows on different pages...or atleast how to turn off on different pages.
Thanks for your prompt help and followup.

That's good to hear! You can use different slideshows in different pages, how you do this depends on how you added the slideshow. Are you using the template tag in the header.php file?

Posted 4 months ago #I'm using the header php file. I also tried to use a featured image on some pages but the slide show just keep on running.
-
So you want to load a slideshow on some pages, but switch that out and replace it with a featured image on certain pages?
Try doing this, starting with the original header.php file of the TwentyTen theme, take line #77:
<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>" height="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>" alt="" />And replace it with this line:
<br /><?php if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow(); } ?>Now, by default the slideshow will show up, but if you add a featured image to a page, that will be loaded instead.

You're welcome!

Posted 4 months ago #I spoke too soon. The featured image works on the first page which is to the right of home. The rest continue cycling even though I have set the featured image.
I have learned how to create templates so if that is easier - I don't mind trying the code if you provide it.
-
That should work for you, try downloading TwentyTen again and replacing the header.php file, set a sitewide header image in the options and get that working. Then add a few featured images to pages, or test the ones you have already added, make sure it is properly loading the featured images instead of the sitewide image.
If all that is working, you should be able to replace line #77 that loads the sitewide image with the slideshow template tag.

Posted 4 months ago #New Issue: I've created a main page with several images which I want to link to individual pages which will contain a slide show for that particular topic.
When I insert the shortcode [meteor_slideshow] I pick up not only the new images but all others even though I created a new slideshow and assigned the slides - but there doesn't appear to be a way to assign the slides to a particular page. In addition, it picked up the slides from the header and is displaying them all.
I've read it's best to stay with one slideshow application but I'm not sure where to go from here.
-
If you insert just the slideshow shortcode like that, it will load any slides regardless of which slideshow you added them to. Did you try specifying a slideshow in the shortcode?
-
Posted 4 months ago #I used just the [meteor_slideshow] shortcode, named and assigned the slideshow (Christmas) but shortcode is new to me. I then encountered several issues: (1) the slides for Christmas which are a different size are appearing in the header and (2) I wanted (but not required) nav buttons in the show.
I image that if I name the slideshow in the short code then it would pull only those slides - but I don't know how to add to the shortcode.
Thanks.
-
If you slideshow is called "Christmas" then you would use the slug in the shortcode like this:
[meteor_slideshow slideshow="christmas"]There is more info about multiple slideshows this in the documentation.
