RevSlider - Full Version - PHP? and best practice

[jmad 80]

I'm wanting to use the full version of RevSlider as a plugin (taking advantage of rev slider options including date control).  

 

What would be the best practice for doing this in DMS? 

 

So far, using the developer tools, I have disabled the built-in RevSlider.  I installed and have RevSlider running (as long as the general RevSlider setting to not load on every page is left off it works).  I added the shortcode to a PLNext fullwidth box and it's working well with one exception.  On pageload the slider is showing after the rest of the page.  

 

Will adding the <?php putRevSlider("homepage","homepage") ?>  instead of the shortcode help resolve? How would I implement this in a PLnext box or what would be the best plan for integrating the full version of rev slider into DMS?

The plugin version of revslider is not a free to use plugin. We cant just include it in DMS.

 

Each slider you setup generates a unique shortcode if I remember correctly, just use that shortcode in your content.

Right, I understand the plugin isn't free.  I own a license or two of the plugin and yes it generates a shortcode that I have in a PLNext box (see initial post) and it works.  Doing it this way it seems to lag slightly behind the rest of the page on load.  I'm hoping there was a way to add it that would help avoid the mild lag or that's more efficient resource wise (a best practice).

 

Sometimes framework/theme developers have instructions about how to best integrate some of the more popular plugins.  I appreciate the built-in version of Rev Slider and the options included but for a couple of projects am wanting to integrate more options from the plugin.

so what happens if you put the php version into the nextbox?

What code did you add to the NextBox section ?

[jmad 80]

<?php putRevSlider("homepage","homepage") ?>

[Danny+ 1,327]

You do not use <?php tags in the NextBox section, so if you want this to work you will probably need to use the following:

 

putRevSlider("homepage","homepage");

 

Then enable the PHP option.

Hi, I am curious whether or not this worked for jmad I tried it on my test site and it came up nextbox error.

Check your error logs, might reveal the error.

Ok it does work just have to remember to put the semi colon at the end.

 

Thanks
