Videos in Slideshows

[rjay]

On your demo site, your slideshow includes a Vimeo video but I don’t see how to do that: is that a portfolio item ? How do I create a slideshow of portfolio items ?

Hello,

These are custom content slides. When you’re setting up a Slide, you can set it to be an image slide or a content slide. When configuring it as a content slide, you can put whatever HTML you want into the content and that will show in the slide.

Here is a complete video on how sliders work from your documentation: https://vimeo.com/20279926

Also in your documentation that came in your download package there are all of the content slides’ HTML used in the live demo for reference.

Hmm…. that’s a lot of extra work. Why can’t you just make a slideshow of portfolio items ? Would be so much quicker.

Anyway, I tried it – with the URL of “http://youtu.be/tw-TCinmxKE” and I just get an error of “You entered a video URL that isn’t compatible with this shortcode.”. I’m using the ‘Staged Video’ code from the docs, but there is no example for YouTube videos, only Vimeo.
