    Default Trouble Adding JQuery Slider to Test Page

    Good day,

    I downloaded a slick jquery slider for a web page and was having quite a bit of trouble adding it in. I was trying the "Banner Rotator" version which is 1150x400 based on the demo. Would look great on my site "if" I had a clue.

    Confused...

    Appreciate anyone's insight.

    Cheers.

    You will have to add this using placeholders. If there is code to be placed in the head, then you will have to do that, along with uploading all of the css, img and js folders to your server. One of the best ways to see how the author of this slider created it is to open the html documents that are included in a text editor (I use and prefer TextPad 5) I did something like this with an accordion here: http://ntunemusic.com

    It looks like this was done with an unordered list or ul:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html class="no-js" lang="en">
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">

    <title>RoyalSlider Demo</title>


    <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">


    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/royalslider.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/royalslider-skins/default/default.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/royalslider-skins/iskin/iskin.css" />

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/royalslider-preview.css" />

    How does the member do this?

    How does the member add the images?

    I think this is very daunting to anyone who does not understand placeholders and scripts.

    Why not use on of the sliders provided within the program? Design Gallery > Page Elements > Photos > Photo slideshows

    Good point bb2. Especially if all the script makes your head spin.

    Designs Gallery > Widgets > Eyecatcher Widgets.

    Have a look at Sliding Slide Show.

    You basically add the head code which points to the javascript files, css, etc, and then you copy and paste the ul info into a placeholder and then change the photo links to your own (which should reside in the image folder that came with the script.) Then upload all of these files to your server. It is a lot of work but these things look amazing when compared to the ones that Xara offers (sorry guys but it's true.)

    Thanks Pixel. Regarding the built-in I "get it" that the writers ask I use the product but as it states clearly, you basically can't change the size of anything and that is very limiting for use in many platforms. I just downloaded the trial for the new version. Not sure what that has but given the popularity of the sliders on all platforms I would love to see a flexible solution in future. That would be great.

    In the interim pixel I will give your insight a shot.

    Pixel,

    I looked through your post and will be trying it out in a moment or two here. Just a quick note, I have been successfuly in working with the placeholder but my question was more to the point of where does each section go (e.g. Head and/or Body HTML). I will do some trial and error to see if I can get it.

    Thanks again.

    MD

    The posted script shows the Head sections as well as the body section. Start there.

    Copied the top section of pixel's post in the head section of the placeholder and the body section (Copied a portion below) in the body section. Copied all the files to my server. No dice yet.

    </head>
    <body>
    <div id="main-body">
    <h1>RoyalSlider Demo: Banner Rotator</h1>
    <div id="slider-ajax-container">
