[Plugin: Meteor Slides] Text links from slide titles and links fields

    Is there any way to pull the Title text and Slide Links URLs to create an ASC or DESC alphabetical list?

    I want to use the images normally as a fading slideshow with links to sponsors in a sidebar, but also need a text list of linked sponsor titles.

    An example is in the left sidebar here where the slideshow displays above a linked list: https://srwestend.com

    Any help on how this content might be extracted from Meteor Slides is much appreciated. Thanks!

    This seems like a useful feature for many users. I often create local events websites that are funded by sponsors. These event clients always want a global sidebar slideshow and a full page of linked text (with images too).

    As it is now, I have to double content entry in both the plugin and then recreate the sponsor titles and links in a manually coded list.

    Sure, you can do this, the slides in the slideshow are a standard custom post type, so you can query that content and use it however you want in your theme using a custom loop.

    The meteor-slideshow.php template file is a great place to start with writing this query. It’s a bit more complicated than you need, but the query is solid and will get you what you need. Here’s an example you can use: https://gist.github.com/3845991

    To use that in your sidebar you could put the code above or below the widgetized section of your sidebar as the first or last “widget”, or you could make a simple widget and add this loop to it to create a widget with this list.

    Thanks! Very much appreciate such a helpful response. I had the idea this would be the case but got lost in the code. I’ll keep drilling as I have a better idea of where to go.
