Module version 1.1 for Elxis CMS

Easy Slider is a jQuery plugin written by Alen Grakalic.

Here is presented a free module version for Elxis CMS developed by oswgr by which you can slide horizontally or vertically up to 6 content items which can have title, image, main text and an internal or external link of type Read more....

Depended from module position where you will set slider to be displayed, the width and height of images (if exist and have been set), the text size (in lines) and the sliding orientation (horizontal or vertical), you have to set the proportion width and height of the slider. For setting images you have to create into images folder of Elxis installation, a folder called easyslider, where you have to load all images.

At the parameter container image width is proposed to set an absolute value increased by 10, in relation with every image width, so to create a distance of 10px between image and main text. If you do not want to display an image into a content item of the slider, select - Do not use an image - and will be displayed only the text, with full slider width. You can also display only image, if you do not insert text at all. If you insert only image and link, then the link is applied on image. All fields (title, image, text, link) of sliding items, are independent as settings and you can display each one autonomic, without any one to demand existence of the rest.
