Slider/Banner Images

Step 1

Add the images you wish to use to the “Resources” section.

Step 2

Copy and Paste the code below into the main content editor or into the sidebar content.

<div id="sliderContent"> 
<!--Paste Step 3's Code Here --> 
</div>

Step 3

Select from the 3 options below and copy and paste the code into the sliderContent Div you pasted from Step 2.

1: Single banner image or a default slider image with no caption

<div data-image-name="IMAGE_NAME.jpg" ></div>

2: Slider image with adjustable transition effect

<div 
data-image-name="IMAGE_NAME.jpg" 
data-split="horizontal-counterclockwise" 
></div>

3: Slider image with adjustable transition effect & caption

<div 
data-image-name="IMAGE_NAME.jpg" 
data-split="horizontal-counterclockwise" 
data-caption-header="Title" 
data-caption-text="Place paragraph text here" 
data-caption-cite="Firstname Lastname" 
></div>

You can change the “data-split” value to adjust the transition effect. Each value represents how the image will slice on transtion. The available options are:

horizontal
horizontal-right
horizontal-left
horizontal-clockwise
horizontal-counterclockwise
vertical
vertical-top
vertical-bottom
vertical-clockwise
vertical-counterclockwise

Change the “data-caption-header” value to add a title or delete this line if you do not wish to have a title.
Change the “data-caption-text” value to add text.
Change the “data-caption-cite” value to add a cited name or delete this line if you are not using a quote.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Repeat Steps 3 & 4 until you have as many photos that you want to display in the slider. After you have added your images and changed your values, highlight all of the code and select “Ignore Formatting” from the Format drop down menu. Your finished code should be similar to the screen shot below.

NOTE: RapidWeaver’s editor uses two types of quotation marks. Be sure your code uses straight quotation marks and not curly quotation marks . The curly quotation marks are not recognized as code and will cause the slider to load improperly.
