[Plugin: Meteor Slides] use smaller javascript (cycle lite)

  • Hi,

    it would be great to add an option to select another jquery plugin, as for my use, the jquery cycle is too large.
    I’d like to use jquery cycle lite which has a smaller file size if I don’t need lots of settings, just a plain slideshow.

    That’s a good idea Paul, I would like to do more to reduce the footprint of my plugin. Right now the uncompressed version of jQuery Cycle is included, I should switch to the minimized version. And I’m still working on getting the scripts to load only on pages with a slideshow.

    this is what I did to replace the script in my theme functions.php:

    //replace meteor slides cycle plugin with more lightweight
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'my_deregister_javascript', 100 );

function my_deregister_javascript() {
	wp_deregister_script( 'jquery-cycle' );
	wp_register_script('jquery-cycle', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.cycle.lite.min.js', 'jquery');
	wp_enqueue_script('jquery-cycle');
}

    That’s a pretty slick way to do it Paul without hacking the plugin itself!
