Views - Slider (Vario)

This view is used to create a slider. The slider has multiple CSS animated captions and image transitions. This view can also play video slides. The parameters available for this view are as follows:

Input data = Gallery

Use Gallery

Select the gallery (created previously) from which you would like to use to define the slider's content.

Link

Custom - This means that the link on the image will be that link set in the "Gallery Image Settings", accessible via the edit gallery page. (edit image icon on each gallery thumbnail).
Attachment - This will overwrite any link set via the "Gallery Image Settings" page and instead the image will automatically receive a link to the original version of itself, prior to resizing. This way you may display large versions of images in a lightbox.

Input data = Posts

Max

Set the maximum amount of posts to be shown. Leave this field empty for unlimited posts.

Selection

Use this control to manually pick posts to be included in the view.

Categories

Includes items in the view only from the selected categories.

Tags

Includes items in the view only featuring the selected tags.

Format

Includes items in the view which correspond to the selected format.

Slider Settings

Transition

Select the type of transition for this slide.

Background

Use the sliders image as the background or a video. This option is used when the slides are mainly holding animated caption data and the background for the slider is to be a looping video clip.

Video

If "Video" is selected in the above option, this is where the video source file should be specified. The video must be uploaded in both .ogv and .mp4 video formats. Both versions must have exactly the same name, but with different file formats. Eg. "clip.ogv" and "clip.mp4"

Loop

If enabled, the video plays again from the start once playback ends.

Fallback

Here you can insert/upload an image which will be shown in old browsers which lack native video support, such as old versions of Internet Explorer.

Delay

Time in seconds before the slider rotates to the next slide.

Full Width - A full width slider always full the full available width and upscales the images if they are smaller then the slider area.
