Easing and Meteor Slides

Thanks Scott, I haven’t tried changing the easing myself, but it is possible to do so.

The slideshow is powered by jQuery Cycle, which has some basic options for easing. You can change these options using metadata. The jQuery Cycle plugin also supports the jQuery Easing plugin, so you could add that to your theme if you wanted more advanced easing options.

Found this forum post while looking for the same thing…

Got it working and thought it could help someone in the future…

When inserting into a custom theme template theme, use metadata like so:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow( "", "fx: 'scrollLeft', easing: 'easeInOutBack'" ); } ?>

Looks like you could do it with shortcode as well with something like this (haven’t tried this, but should be equivalent):
[meteor_slideshow metadata="fx: 'scrollLeft', easing: 'easeInOutBack'"]

This will kill the slideshow animation completely if you did not load an easing js file. Be sure you add something to your header that loads jquery easing… my phrase looks like this:
<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Josh.. thanks for a great plugin!

No problem Rob, thanks for sharing this info on easing, I’m sure it’ll come in handy in the future!
