add_action('restrict_manage_posts','add_post_format_filter_to_slider_dropdown');

function add_post_format_filter_to_slider($query){

     // if our current user can't edit this post, bail
    if( !current_user_can( 'edit_post' ) ) return;
     
    // now we can actually save the data
    $allowed = array();
	
    // Make sure your data is set before trying to save it	
	if( isset( $_POST['slide_url'] ) ) {
		update_post_meta( $post_id, 'slide_url', $_POST['slide_url'] );
