Slider Block

Create a Slider Block

1. Go to the Shortcuts toolbar and select Blocks.
2. Click on Add Block at the top of the page.
3. Select Slider from the list of options.

Add Slider Label and Title

1. Label: a name used to uniquely identify the block.
2. Title (optional): a title that will display above the Slider Block when placed on a page.

Note: See Web Express Core Blocks: Slider for examples of the different slider sizes and styles.

Select Size

Size refers to the size of the image.

• Slider Ultra Wide (cropped): the image will be cropped to an aspect ratio of 1160x430 pixels.
• Widescreen (16x9 cropped): the image will be cropped to an aspect ratio of 1160x650 pixels.
• Large (3x2 cropped): the image will be cropped to an aspect ratio of 1160x770 pixels.
• Original (uncropped): the image will not be cropped. The slider will resize itself depending on the sizes of the images.

Note: The system uses a clever algorithm to figure out what and where to crop. Do the cropping yourself for maximum control of your slider image.

Select Style

Style refers to the style of the text.

• Bottom Content Overlay: text overlays the bottom of the image.
• Right Side Content Overlay: text overlays the right side of the image.
• Center Content Overlay: text overlays in the center of the image.
• Right Side Content: text is placed to the right of the image.
• Bottom Content: text is placed at the bottom of image.

Configure Slide Tabs

Fill out the three tabs: Image, Slide Text (optional) and Link (optional).

1. Click Add another item to add as many slides as you want.
2. Reorder the image slides by dragging the crosshairs up or down.
3. Click Save.

Slider Blocks work just like other blocks and can be placed in one of the various  Content/Layout Regions on the site page.
