Thanks for trying my plugin, I’m glad you’re liking it!
I haven’t tried to add touch interactivity yet but it’s on my feature list and I’d like to add this. There’s a jQuery plugin called jQuery Touchwipe that can enable this, there is even an example and demo that use jQuery Cycle, which is what powers Meteor Slides.
Thanks Josh for the additional info! Appreciate it.
Will check it out and let you know how I make out.

No problem, I’m curious to hear how it goes, I’ll be trying this myself soon!
Hello Josh,
Again, have to tell you how awesome your plugin is. My client loves it!
Have an additional question re: meteor slides.
I have several slideshows in a WP site which I made stop on the last slide.
I want the last slide in each show to jump automatically to a URL on the site.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.
Mike
Thanks again Mike. I haven’t tried anything like this but in theory you should be able to do that.
There is an “end” option that you can use to run a custom function when the slideshow ends. By default the slideshow doesn’t end, but you can use the “autostop” option to stop the slideshow after the first cycle and then run a function on “end” that go to a link.
Not sure about that last part, you’d need a line or two of jQuery to add that function.
Thanks Josh,
Will check it out/let you know how it goes.
Mike
Please do, I’m curious to hear how you solve it.
Hi! Josh! How could i use this plugin? I do not know JS. May be some links with example of integration?
should I upload script into js directory, then put <script type=”text/javascript” src=”js/jquery.touchwipe.js”></script> into header.php?
This plugin is already built into Meteor Slides 1.5.
Hi, Josh. Thank you for being here )))
I am using version 1.5 currently. How could i solve this problem?
Thank you!
What is the problem, is the touch navigation not working?
yes! I can’t do a vertical scroll on my mobile devices when I touch the slide deck. I have to touch above or below it to scroll.
maybe I could fix this, surely if you tell me how )))))
Yeah, that is a bug in Meteor Slides 1.5, it will be fixed in 1.5.1. For now you can fix it by editing the slideshow.js file in the plugin. Take this bit of code:
// Setup jQuery TouchWipe
$j('.meteor-slides').touchwipe({
wipeLeft: function() {
$j('.meteor-slides').cycle('next');
},
wipeRight: function() {
$j('.meteor-slides').cycle('prev');
}
});
And edit it like this:
// Setup jQuery TouchWipe
$j('.meteor-slides').touchwipe({
wipeLeft: function() {
$j('.meteor-slides').cycle('next');
},
wipeRight: function() {
$j('.meteor-slides').cycle('prev');
},
preventDefaultEvents: false
});
