NivoSlider - why can you not set first slide to be linked?

Post by simonmlewis »

We are using Nivo slider.
The bug with it has always been that you have to set the first slide with no hyperlink, else the whole plugin won't work.

Is there a version where you CAN do it with a link??

Don't you just love it when you figure out the fix for something, for which you cannot find anyone on the web.

Answer is: the first slide is what "fixes" the height of the rest, which is why the dots do still appear.
Set the style="height: **px" in the id="slider" div, to the height of your slides, and it works.

Not got ALL slides hyperlinked.
