I hear what you are saying. I’m NOT interested in getting support from this plugin!
it doesn’t work for what i want it to do: that is to have a video overlay.

so, i’m looking for natural code or solution for this feature.
I know that wordpress has the “cover” block, but it doesn’t allow for mouse over.

can’t seem to delete this post. i put it into the wrong area. sorry!

Oh I can do this, I’m just wondering if there’s a plugin with ‘short code”, or a page that’s already done it.

I was hoping for an interface so my friend can add new images, etc.
but since there isn’t, I’ll just have to add the code manually.

thanks for your time.

Ok, thank you.

an example:

[image] This product is nice to have, one byte and wow!
[rating#] and the second line is this and this.

[previous 20 list] [next 20 list]

yes! I did as you said, and confirmed the aspect ratio, which is 2:1, and it works perfect for both the desktop AND the mobile! and I don’t need any mobile code.

thanks so much!

OH! I should mention that I can’t do this:

Then head into the slideshow’s settings and hit ‘yes’ on “Shrink slideshow’s height when width shrinks” (The default is ‘no’).

why? because the height does have to be set to 480px for the Desktop version. but I want it to be auto for mobile.. hmmmm unless I can set it to 480px via CSS for desktop! I’ll try that way too!

thanks so much for your time!

Hi Thekat!

I have everything working the way I like, but I’m told this is the problem: <div class=”slideshow_container .slideshow_container_style-light” style=”height: 480px; “>

I have CSS already that I THOUGHT changed that, and its here:

@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
.slideshow_container .slideshow_slide {
height: auto!important;
}
}

this code does work! but the height is what’s causing the problem with the page.

Ok, so I was able to achieve mostly what I wanted. I now have the auto height and width that changes via mobile with using this css:

@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
.slideshow_container .slideshow_slide {
height: auto!important;
}
}

AND, by making the images exactly how I want them to be via desktop, and change the setting “Image behavior” to natural and centered.

BUT, there is a minor page cosmetic issue, that I have described in another thread here. (since its a different issue) and making this resolved.

well i seemed to have solved the issue, now its just cosmetics, which i’m sure the plugin support area could solve hopefully.

Hi all, maybe I wasn’t descriptive enough, so I’ll try to be with this post.
I am using the Slideshow plugin.

I have worked with it, and have stumbled upon a problem that i’m not able to fix, or have received support for. so I’m looking for another slider that may do what I want.

I would like to have a slider establish a fixed height, and auto width, while in desktop mode, and have the images “stretch to fit”.
Here is the actual slider that I want in desktop mode.

Now in mobile mode, I would like to have auto height and width and “stretch to fit”, like this style. and also have the image properly proportioned so that the images don’t look skewed.

So the difference is: auto height while in mobile with proper proportion for image, and fixed height in desktop. does anyone know of a slider that can do that?

currently if you go to the test side via mobile, the slider does auto height and width, but its not properly proportioned and the images get skewed.

ahhh ok. thanks!

ok, so I was able to figure out the auto aspect:

.slideshow_container .slideshow_slide {
width: auto!important;
height: auto!important;
}

although this works, the images themselves only show partially.

but what is the setting for “shrink to fit”???

thanks!

ahhh ok, thanks for your time!

what would you suggest as the best route to go for providing mobile then?

yep! perfect!
thank you!
