• Will the Free or Premium version ever have support for scheduling slides to expire on set date? This would be helpful for myself and users who utilize this to display their promotions. Would gladly upgrade for this feature as I can not find it anywhere else.

    Thank you.

  • Also interested in this feature. Nobody seems to have it.

    I think it could be accomplished by some current sliders that use posts to contain their images as featured images, but that’s clumsy for users. I’d prefer to stick with a plugin like Meta Slider that is popular and well maintained.

    Any chances of getting this included?

    Hello,

    Also would very much love this feature. And perhaps there could be an option for a “default” slide, when all the slides have expired.

    By the way, Meta Slider has so far been one of my favorites sliders to use. 🙂

    I love this slider but the lack of ability to schedule slides to go live/expire is a real drag. I’d love for the developers to provide insight on when/if we can expect an update like that.

    Thanks!

    I posted this on a different forum, but I’ll post it here as well, as it may be helpful if you’re still looking for an expire slides functionality:

    jQuery bit:

    $('.slides li').each(function(){
            if($(this).find('.expire').length) {
                var expireDate = new Date($(this).find('.expire').text()).getTime();
                var currentDate = new Date().getTime();
                if(expireDate < currentDate) {
                    $(this).remove();
                }
            }
        });

    You’ll want to put it inside of the jQuery(document).ready(function($){}); So if you have other scripts in there, you can add it to there.

    Put this into the Meta Slider “General” field on a slide by slide basis:
    <span class="expire">2015/1/20</span>

    And for the CSS

    .expire {
        display: none;
    }

    Note: The user will still have to delete the slide, but at least the slide disappears when expired.
