# [Plugin: Meteor Slides] metadata shortcode

 * Hi, I have two of your slideshows at the site [tianattheriverbank.com](http://tianattheriverbank.com),
   the one on the homepage is working great with the options set through the settings
   page.
    The one on the inside page is acting a little funny. I’m trying to set
   different options through the metadata. I have two questions: 1. What is the 
   shortcode for navigation options? 2. Even though I have set up the slideshow 
   for 4 slides on the settings page, only three slides are used on the inside page,
   why?

 * 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](http://www.jleuze.com/).
 * 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](http://getfirebug.com/)
   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.

 * Where can I find the shortcodes for the metadata besides fx and random?
