Could custom fields be linked to current slider post type

    Since this plugin is based in ACF plugin could be possible that any custom field could be linked to the current post type of the carousel? It would allow for a more flexible slider setup and without code to control stuff like alignment of text, colors, font sizes, I think it would require though a way to specify a template instead of excerpt to fine-tune the position of the custom fields.

    Thanks for the suggestion! Yes, the plugin could support custom fields, however these would still need to be supported in the code that renders the output so I’m not sure that it would save very much work. All of the current customisation uses custom fields, it’s just that they are linked to admin UI interfaces.

    Note that a previous suggestion may be a more elegant way to handle customisation of text effects, see https://github.com/ewels/CPT-Bootstrap-Carousel/issues/65

    Okey I’m afraid I don’t fully understand all the technical explanation.
    if i got it right

    It means it can’t be done without editing the plugin code?

    That is turning the excerpt into the_content? I apologize for the noobish questions.

    Yes.

    Yes (as an option, opt-in).

    Not so noobish after all! Basically, thanks for the feature request – a variant of it is already under consideration at https://github.com/ewels/CPT-Bootstrap-Carousel/issues/65

    Sadly I can’t promise this any time soon though. I maintain this plugin in an ever shrinking slot of free time and don’t really do any web dev these days! But I think it’s a good idea, so if I do get a chance to sit down with the code it will be one of my top priorities.

    I completely understand as I’m overloaded by work and studies. Have a nice week!
