Replace LayerSlider with MasterSlider possible?

Nice :-)

Hey!

I recommend to create a new folder call “shortcodes” in your child theme folder. Then paste the code from here: https://gist.github.com/InoPlugs/b2dec6233f30bd3104f7 in a php file and save the file as slideshow_masterslider.php. Upload this file into the shortcodes folder. At lease open up the child theme functions.php file and insert this code at the very bottom of the file:

add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1);
function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths)
{
	$template_url = get_stylesheet_directory();
    	array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/');

	return $paths;
}

Afterwards save the file and go to the template builder to use the element. It’s in the last tab.

Hi!

Another idea would be to skip Layerslider all together and replace it with Master Slider. Maybe we should make a feature request? :-)

We won’t replace Layerslider with Master Slider because this would be unfair towards existing customers who already use Layerslider. We also don’t want to bundle several sliders with Enfold (like other theme developers do) because of performance reasons. Our approach/solution is that we work together with the slider plugin authors to create shortcode files for their sliders. We added some code for the Revolution Slider (which is already included with the Enfold theme framework) and Master Slider will be included when it gets more popular. The Master Slider plugin author also gave me access to the support forum and if someone encounters a theme incompatibility issue I’ll look into it.

Cheers!
