How to use ftw.slider

If you want to display a slideshow on your content, just create a ftw.slider.Container and add some ftw.slider.Pane.

There is a viewlet which checks your content for a slider-container and displays its containing panes.

Settings

To ensure access4all you can use the settings canNext which is the option for en/disabling the slider button to move to the next image (when set true the button is shown, when false it is hidden), canPrev equivalent for the last image button and the arrowsOnHover option (when true only showing the buttons on hover, when false showing them always).

Other settings are autoplay (when true automatically sliding to the next image after set time) and autoplaySpeed (a number for the time to wait until sliding to the next image in milliseconds).

Those options are to be set in json format in the configuration textarea of the ftw.slider block like:

{"canNext":true, "canPrev":true, "arrowsOnHover":false}

Extended Slick configuration

In addition to the default slick-configuration options you can use the following ftw.slider specific custom options

Random

Shuffles the slides on each page reload to display the slides in a random order.

{"random": true}
