Hi, thanks for trying my plugin. There isn’t a metadata option for the navigation, but you can use CSS to hide the navigation if you don’t want to show it on all slideshows. I am doing this to hide the paged navigation on my homepage.
The quantity setting is for the maximum number of slides, but on your inside page, maybe you’ve only added three slides to that particular slideshow?
Hello! Thanks for replying so quickly! I hope my questions help you as much as they’re helping me.
I do have one other question – if I use the CSS to style, it will affect all slideshows.
I wanted to use the metadata so that each slideshow would react differently.
My next step is going to be assigning a CSS class that hides the navigation, or I could write it directly into the php. I’ll experiment and get back to you.
Thanks for writing such a versatile tool!
If you are using multiple slideshows, each one has a unique ID based on the slideshow slug, and the slug is also added as a class. Use Firebug to check out your slideshow.
Like on my homepage, I am using a slideshow called “Home”, which means the ID of that slideshow container is “meteor-slideshowhome”.
Using the ID I can target just that slideshow like this:
#meteor-slideshowhome .meteor-buttons {
display: none;
}
In fact, the paged buttons and left/right nav both have unique IDs you could target as well.
Ah-ha! You just saved me a ton of time!
Where can I find the shortcodes for the metadata besides fx and random?
