    <!--Paste Step 4's Code Here --> 
  </div> 
</div>

Extra Content Stack

<div id="camera_wrap">

Step 4: Copy and Paste the code below into the Extra Content & Camera wrap Div you pasted from Step 3. (Or into the Extra Content Stack if you are using stacks).

<div data-src="%resource(IMAGE_NAME.jpg)%" data-fx="simpleFade"> 
  <div> Caption here </div>
</div>

Step 5: Change “IMAGE_NAME.jpg” to exactly match the name of your image in the Resources section (case sensitive)

Step 6: Change “Caption here” to your desired caption or delete the entire section if you wish not to display a caption.

Step 7: Repeat Steps 4-6 until you have as many photos you want to display in the slider. If you are using the main content or sidebar areas, make sure to highlight the code and select “Ignore Formatting” from the Format drop down menu.

Here is an example of what a finished slider code would look like.
<div id="camera_wrap"> 
  <div data-src="%resource(image1.jpg)%" data-fx="simpleFade">
    <div> Caption One </div>
  </div>
  <div data-src="%resource(image2.jpg)%" data-fx="simpleFade">
    <div> Caption Two </div>
  </div>
  <div data-src="%resource(image3.jpg)%" data-fx="simpleFade">
    <div> Caption Three </div>
  </div>
</div>

Transition Slider Effects

Step 1: After you have added images to your slider you will notice a data-fx value after the resource names. You can change the data-fx value to one of the values below to get a different transition effect.

‘random’
‘simpleFade’
‘curtainTopLeft’
‘curtainTopRight’
‘curtainBottomLeft’
‘curtainBottomRight’
‘curtainSliceLeft’
‘curtainSliceRight’
‘blindCurtainTopLeft’
‘blindCurtainTopRight’
‘blindCurtainBottomLeft’
‘blindCurtainBottomRight’
‘blindCurtainSliceBottom’
‘blindCurtainSliceTop’
‘stampede’
‘mosaic’

‘mosaicSpiralReverse’
‘topLeftBottomRight’
‘bottomRightTopLeft’
‘bottomLeftTopRight’
‘bottomLeftTopRight’
‘scrollLeft’

Example: data-fx=”simpleFade” would be changed to data-fx=”curtainTopRight” for a curtain transition effect.

Movable Windows

Move beyond the confines of static content layouts! Movable Windows allows your page visitors to effortlessly drag and reposition custom content windows anywhere in the browser viewport. Windows can be minimized to free up space and stay fixed to the browser viewport so they are always accessible.

Resize & Minimize

Windows can be resized to take up more or less space, or maximized to fill the entire screen. But that’s not all – these windows are like handy sidekicks, always ready to assist. Need quick reference? No problem! Windows can be minimized when not in use, saving precious screen space for what really matters – your page content.

Inline

Open windows stay fixed on screen so they are always accessible. Minimized windows have three modes to choose from. “Inline” keeps it in line with other content, “Fixed” is always on screen, and “Draggable” lets you move it around while minimized.

Customizable

It’s not just about functionality; it’s about style too. Customize your windows by size, position, and color. Add in text, images, forms, links – you name it! Want a little more flair? Allow window resizing, choose whether they start minimized or open, change the toggle icon, or hide the window title when minimized.

Check it out!
