How to set the slide image through a function?

    Hi Averta team ??

    In my website, the posts have 3 kinds of images: 1) the featured image, 2) the gallery’s images, and 3) the slide image (with specific design and dimensions). Usually I assign a fixed menu position for this last, so I can take it through a DB query using the 'menu_order' parameter.

    Totally lost with With Master Slider. Sadly the default options not working for me. The last weekend I spend some hours searching for a hook or function on your KB, but I didn’t have luck. Can you give me a clue about how to proceed? Thanks in advance!

    Got it! I saw that the function has the conditional if(function_exists()), so I replaced it with a same name’s function and modified it on a new plugin file. For who is interested, can copy/paste it on the functions.php file:

    The function makes a little change to the option called "First image in post", taking the array’s last children attachment (instead taking the first image found in article). Setting the image is very easy: simply go to the "Media uploader > Media library > Uploaded to this post" and drag the selected image to the last position, so it will be automatically assigned as slide image.

    A little advice to Averta: consider adding more filters to the plugin, specially in the critic zones. More filters mean more improvements and more quality extensions. Thanks for this plugin, is beautiful.

    Hi,

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your feedback. So far we did our best to make the Masterslider extendable for third party developers, however, please keep in mind that adding lots of hooks reduces the overall performance of the website, so we should be very careful about how and where to add hooks. Anyway, again thanks for your suggestion, I will pass this to our dev team for further investigation.

    Good luck

    Hi Averta, thanks to you, glad to see you again. Well, I didn’t talk about lots of filters. So far I identified only 2 or 3 functions that requires to be filtered. Anyway, the current “if(function_exists())” also works for me.

    Cheers!
