[Plugin: Meteor Slides] Adding an exerpt to a slide

Sure you can do that, add this to your theme’s functions.php file to enable excerpts:

// Add excerpts to Meteor Slides

add_post_type_support('slide', 'excerpt');

And then add this to your custom slideshow template to add the excerpt:

<?php // Get the slide post's excerpt

	the_excerpt();?>

And it works like a charm.
Great work Josh. I love Meteor Slides.
Thanks for the plugin and all the effort you put in supporting the users.

You’re welcome, thanks for trying my plugin!

greetings mr leuze,

i’ve followed the instructions i think, but my excerpts are nowhere to be found

do i need to add some extra text display specifications to the css?
or to add a new div somewhere in the meteor specs?
please let me know boss, any help will be appreciated

my url is super top secret information nobody but jleuze click this please haha

Hi wakwaka, you are on the right track. The code example above, just add the excerpt option to the slide editor, and output the excerpt content in the slideshow template. You will need to add custom CSS to style the excerpts and overlay them on the slides.

Take a look at the documentation on customizing the slideshow template, that includes a CSS example that should get you pretty close.
