Need Help to custamize Meteor Slides plugin

Hi mzahra, you can do this, but that formatting won’t work. You need to use metadata to change the size, transition, or other properties. Check out the documentation on using metadata to see some examples of how to format it.

is there any better docs on using metadata in short code? more examples? Am trying to setup multiple slide shows with different sizes, transitions, speed and duration, etc and can’t determine shortcode references to use in the command line…

[meteor_slideshow slideshow=”front” metadata=”width: 200, height: 100″]
works to change the size, but what is the code/structure for transition style, transition speed, slide duration, slideshow navigation…

have tried
[meteor_slideshow slideshow=”front” metadata=”width: 200, height: 100 style:fade”]

[meteor_slideshow slideshow=”front” metadata=”width: 200, height: 100 speed:1″]

[meteor_slideshow slideshow=”front” metadata=”width: 200, height: 100 duration:1″]
and others to no avail…

please advise what I am doing wrong and perhaps were there is more on using the metadata within the shortcodes.

Thanks adn best regards,
ken

I must be missing something because all I find at “documentation on using metadata” is the all too brief…

“Shortcode
And this is how the shortcode that changes the transition to zoom would be formatted:

[meteor_slideshow metadata=”fx: ‘zoom'”]Here is a shortcode example for the robots slideshow with the zoom effect and random slides:

[meteor_slideshow slideshow=”robots” metadata=”fx: ‘zoom’, random: 1″]”

which gives us a minimal amount of info regarding the actual text/codes to use in describing the options. Is there another source that describes the possible options and how to implement them?????

The options that you can change with metadata are options for the jQuery Cycle plugin, which powers the Meteor Slides slideshow.

Check the jQuery Cycle options link in the using metadata documentation. This gives the full list of options that you can control, and what values they accept.

Keep in mind that the same formatting must be used for metadata that you would use when using jQuery Cycle by itself. Each option should be seperated by commas, and only text values should have single quotes, not numbers.
