Tip N2 or N3: How to Install a Simple Slider for Your Community

[⚡JFarrow⌁]

I'm providing code to install a light and simple slider with text content under each slide into your page.  You will want to replace everywhere it says https://yourimage in the HTML with your own images.  The code below is for 4 images but you can add more if you like.   Here is what it will look like and here is the pen to use as a playground.

 

 

HTML (goes inside the page modules or below the navigation)

<ul id="lightSlider">

<li>
<div class="lightSlider-image-wrapper">
<a href="#">
<div class="lightSlider-image" title="Image Title" style="background-image:url(https://yourimage);"></div>
</a>
</div>
<div class="lightSlider-text">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
</div>
</li>

<li>
<div class="lightSlider-image-wrapper">
<a href="#">
<div class="lightSlider-image" title="Image Title" style="background-image:url(https://yourimage);"></div>
</a>
</div>
<div class="lightSlider-text">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. This box is going to have more text than the first one.
</div>
</li>

<li>
<div class="lightSlider-image-wrapper">
<a href="#">
<div class="lightSlider-image" title="Image Title" style="background-image:url(https://yourimage);"></div>
</a>
</div>
<div class="lightSlider-text">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. This box is going to have more text than the first one.
</div>
</li>

<li>
<div class="lightSlider-image-wrapper">
<a href="#">
<div class="lightSlider-image" title="Image Title" style="background-image:url(https://yourimage);"></div>
</a>
</div>
<div class="lightSlider-text">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
</div>
</li>

</ul>

 

 

CSS (goes inside Design Studio)

.lightSlider li {
border-bottom: 3px solid #E75521;
}

.lightSlider-image {
height: 500px;
}

.lightSlider-text {
padding: 30px;
min-height: 200px;
}

 

JS (Goes in Custom Code bottom)

<script>

x$(document).ready(function() {
x$("#lightSlider").lightSlider({
item: 2,
slideMove: 1,
adaptiveHeight:true
});
});

</script>

 

ENjoY!

KOS, Could a slider in my Header "spruce it up"? What do ya think?

Maybe I could add News Feeds? Oh, my brain is starting to see all kinds of use for this!

what do ya think?

I can't even find discussions about 2.0 seriously- when I saw your subject line included 2.0 I was like Yahoo! 

But is there still tips for 2.0 somewhere- I do not see it listed... and I need lots of help! If I am stuck with my 2.0- then I might as well try ot make it good!

I love this idea!
