 * Hi
    I’m trying to create a slideshow with revolution slider plugin to display
   jobs. The slider can accept custom meta to display fields in the format of %meta:
   somemetatag% but I’m unsure what the meta should be. I tried %meta:job_field1%
   but that didn’t work. Any ideas please? Thanks

 * Ok, so I worked out that instead of using job_field1 using data1 displays the
   correct information in the slider, however I have a new problem. How do I use
   the length=”n” attribute in that code as the description is far to long for the
   slider.
    Thanks

 * Have not attempted that yet. Would be interested in taking a look at it.
 * Please provide a link to your project and I can take a quick look.

 * Hi
    The website is momentumexcel.co.uk The slider is half way down the page under
   the heading RECENT JOBS. As you can see I was unable to shorten the description
   so added a link in the black bar for people to read more.

 * The site looks really well done. I don’t use that slider because of it’s known
   Security Issues. Just hit the news wires again [this week](http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/12/some-100000-or-more-wordpress-sites-infected-by-mysterious-malware/).
   That’s twice in less than a years time.
 * You might want to consider a replacement.
