Null Image Nectar Slides
Closed

    Hi there,

    I'm trying to use the mouse parallax background feature with the nicely formatted Nectar Slider captions and buttons.

    It doesn't appear that you can have a Nectar slide with no image/video, as i get a looping loading animation.

    It would be great if, either 

    A) the caption and button components could be placed as an element via the visual composer 

    or 

    B) Nectar slides could have a null image, with the caption and buttons appearing over top of the background canvas.

    Is it possible to achieve either of these scenarios?

    Thanks!

    Hi, going along with his comment, how did you guys achieve this then: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/home...

    Looks like the nectar slider/preloader with mousebase parallax...

    Thanks!

    Are there any plans to add this functionality in the near future?

    If not, can you point me to the associate files so that I can make the changes

    Hey,

    It would require some custom development as of now - it would need to take place in the functions.php at the nectar_slider_display function, but there would need to quite a bit of code written to accommodate placing a mouse based parallax as a slide

    Thanks for pointing me to the appropriate php file.

    I guess what i'm asking isn't very clear though.

    So let me try to clarify as best as I can:

    I'm not trying to place a mouse based parallaxed slide as a Nectar Slide. What i'm trying to do is use the mouse based parallax that is available as part of the Row options in the visual builder, as full width content. BUT, i'm also trying to place a Nectar slider in the row.

    When creating an empty slide in nectar slider, it fills it with a default background and continuously shows a loading animation. 

    What I'm trying to achieve, is for the Nectar slider's default background and loading animation, to not display when no image is present in the slide. The slide should continue to display the buttons that are associated to the nectar slide. This would then appear onto of the Row's mouse based parallax content.

    Actually looking at Methon Markadonis' link, that is what i'm trying to achieve. However not at the top level of the page.

    The video addresses how to use the mouse based parallax feature, which is great.

    But the question still stands regarding the buttons which can be seen in the linked example. What am i missing?

  • C replied

    Upon inspecting the page linked, it's likely they're using the "Button" shortcode. Which works exactly as i need it to.

    Hey C D!

    You will likely have to change the code in "Salient/nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php" . 

    Thanks
