Sliders making your own

Making your own sliders

To make your own Sliders, start with one of the Slider designs in Elements and then modify it as described in Sliders editing.

Master Slides (Advanced)

Some Sliders include a Master Slide which is not shown in your exported website, it’s there for Slider editing purposes only. Whenever you use the Add photo function to add more photos to your Slider, a new slide is created for each new photo by making a copy of the Master Slide. So the Master Slide determines the design and layout of the new slides. If there is no Master Slide in the Slider, then the first slide is used by Add Photo instead.

If you expand a Slider in the Page & Layer Gallery, you can see that each slide is a separate child of a Slider Group. Each child can be a single object, such as a photo, or a Group of objects. The Master Slide is usually the last child of the Slider Group. You can make it visible and editable on the page by toggling its visibility ON in the Page & Layer Gallery. You’ll also need to turn off the current visible slide, by toggling its visibility icon too. Once you can see the Master Slide on the page, then you can use the Edit function on the Menu Bar to edit the contents of the Master Slide.

Note that to identify the Master Slide and distinguish it from the other slides, the special name tag type:slider:master is applied to it.
