A tasty Meteor Slides milestone

March 25, 2011 by Josh

Meteor Slides reached a couple of big milestones this week. My plugin broke 50 ratings while holding onto a five-star rating. It has also now been downloaded over 25,000 times, that’s a lot of slideshows!

To celebrate Kristine and I baked some gold star cookies with the kids—alright, they baked the cookies and I ate them.

Meteor Slides updated for WordPress 3.1

January 31, 2011 by Josh

In preparation for WordPress 3.1 which should be out any day now, I just released Meteor Slides 1.3.2. This version is still compatible with WordPress 3.0 and has been tested up through 3.1 Release Candidate 3.

Meteor Slide 1.3.2 has some updated functionality for 3.1, improves support for slideshows of different sizes, and now includes contextual help for all of the slideshow admin pages.

Help test Meteor Slides 1.3.2

December 19, 2010 by Josh

I recently released Meteor Slides 1.3.1, this version should work just fine in most situations.

But there is an issue with using multiple slideshows of different sizes. Not all of the different elements in the slideshow are resizing dynamically when the dimensions are changed in the metadata.

I have a development version of Meteor Slides 1.3.2 in trunk that fixes this problem and I could use some help testing it.

A few Meteor Slides updates

December 14, 2010 by Josh

I just released Meteor Slides 1.3.1, which fixes thumbnail registration conflicts, transparent images issues, and navigation for multiple slideshows.

There have been few projects where I have needed to customize the template for the slideshow, so this version adds support for a custom slideshow template.

Be on the lookout for more Meteor Slides screencasts and documentation in the near future!

Creating your own Page Templates

November 13, 2010 by Josh

On many WordPress powered sites, the primary focus is static pages rather than blog posts. I have built some sites that only use pages and don’t even have a blog.

For these types of sites that are using WordPress “as a CMS” rather than a blogging platform, the theme file that generates the pages becomes that much more important.
