Preview only shows thin white horizontal line

Hi Norm,

Good question.. I’ve not seen that one before.

Which browser are you using?
What have you set your slideshow size to?
Does it work if you disable all other plugins?
Can you send me a link to your site please?

Regards
Tom.

Thanks Tom… I’ve tried this in multiple browsers (IE10, FF, Chrome) and get the same result. I’ve tried modifying the slider properties but don’t see any effect on the preview problem.

Here’s a screencast of what I’m seeing. https://screencast.com/t/jHauyujO6

If you send me a pm I’ll send you some login information so you can check it out. email is [email protected]

Hi Norm,

Thanks for the screencast – that was great ??

Your slideshow height is set to false, it needs to be set to an integer.

ah, that worked Tom… thanks.

The reason I had it set to “false” was that I wanted the height to be proportionately figured from the width.

By having just the width set the height seems to be automatically calculated so that the full picture displays. If I hardcode a height in addition to the width, then some pictures have the top cut off, while others have extra space above or below the pic.

I don’t know if the intended operation was meant to be that way, but it works great. Sort of like putting 90% in for the image width without specifying height – the frame dynamically adjusts.

Not sure why it works fine with the shortcode insert, but not with the preview.

Thanks!

Hi Norm,

The preview isn’t too clever. It looks at the size specified in the width and height fields, and creates a lightbox of the same size. In this case it will be setting the height to 0px.

Meta Slider was always intended to work with a set width and height, but as you say – it it works, it works ??

One thing you could do is set the width to be wider than your widest slide, and your height to taller than your tallest slide, and uncheck ‘smart crop’. If I’m thinking straight, this should stop the slides from being cropped and you’ll get the height scaling you’re looking for.

Tom.
