How to load a slider using a post meta field

  • Hi, I want to put the slider shortcode in my template and load the slider ID from a meta field in my post editor.

    For example, if I want to load slider ID 5, I would put “5” in the custom meta field in my post editor, and the plugin should know to load slider #5.

    I really love your plugin and would like to use it on my website, and I would would be great full if you can steer me in the right direction.

    Thanks!!

    Hi,

    Thank you for choosing Master Slider.

    You can use the below code to load Master Slider:

    <?php masterslider(5); ?>

    “5” is slider ID and it can be loaded from saved meta.

    If I could be of any further assistance, please let me know.

    Hi, based on the code you provided, I tried appending using it like the following but it gives me an error: Invalid slider id. Master Slider ID must be a valid number.

    $store_meta[‘gallery’] = masterslider( absint( $gallery_id ) );

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hi, thanks for the reply.

    The slide ID is correct. In fact, I tried it with all my side IDs and got the same error.

    Hi,

    You need to save slider ID as meta, then use it for loading slider.

    Also, you are able to use the below code, but it is not necessary:

    // 'slider_id_for_post' is meta_key that used to save meta
$gallery_id = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'slider_id_for_post', true );
<?php masterslider( $gallery_id ); ?>

    Please let me know the result.

    Hi again,

    Could you please provide us with the related section? I mean the section which you used to save post meta and the section for showing slider.

    I am looking forward to hearing from you.

    Hello,

    I also keep getting the same error:

    “Invalid slider id. Master Slider ID must be a valid number.”

    I’ve used master slider on other of my websites and all was fine. Just on this one I keep getting this error but everything is okay. I looks like it’s a common bug but I have not been able to get fix. I love this plugin and I would like to have it on my new site too.

    Help?
