[Plugin: Meteor Slides] Diferent Sizes on individual slideshow

Hi Josh

Not sure if this is the best answer, but it seems to work for me:

I simple left the width field empty in the slideshow settings page.

My header slideshow is still the original 940px and my smaller slideshow is now in a 340px container.

Now to get the text to sho next to it.

Hi arturex, it is possible to multiple slideshows with different dimensions. To do this you need to resize the slides using metadata. I’m planning to write up some more detailed documentation, but you can find a little more information in this forum post.

@scooterschalk, I wouldn’t recommend leaving either the height or the width blank. In addition to sizing the images, these dimensions are also used in the jQuery and CSS of the slideshow to lay it out correctly on your site.

You can use metadata to override the the size and width as needed.

Thank you JLeuze

I realised that by leaving the height and width out, that the slideshow did not work in Internet explorer, though it did in all other browsers.

I’ll follow the post mentioned above.

No problem Schalk, let me know if you run into any problems.

Thanks! i’ll try and ill let you know how did it work

it did work excelent for me those metadata are cool they do work . now another question rises to me.
I there a metadata to eliminate the navigation buttons.. this is the case.
In the same page i have a main slider which contains the navigation buttons and arrows (both) but lower in that same page i want to have another slideshow with different dimension and speed (which i solved with [meteor_slideshow slideshow=”second” metadata=”width: 400, heigth: 200, speed: 5000″]) but in this second one i don’t want the navigation i couldn’t find a metadata that eliminates the navigation

You can use metadata to remove the paged buttons, like this:

<?php if(function_exists('meteor_slideshow')) { meteor_slideshow("", "pager: 'null'"); } ?>

But doing the same for the previous and next buttons just removes the navigation functionality, it doesn’t remove the actual buttons so the prev/next navigation is global for all slideshows.
