Administrators can create new Sliders from the Dashboard area of their Stacks site.
To create new sliders:
- From the Dashboard, click Sliders
- Click + Add Slider
- In the window that opens, complete the fields
- Title
- Author
- In the slides section
- Body - enter the text you wish to display on the slide (if applicable)
- URL - enter the URL that a user will be directed to when the slide is clicked
- Link text - enter the text that should appear for the link
- Upload/Select image - click to upload or select an image to appear on the slide
- For optimal user experience see the Recommended Image Sizes article for guidance when uploading/selecting images
- Publishing schedule - if applicable, enter the dates and times to schedule publish or un-publish actions; leaving these fields blank will publish the slide immediately
- Note: content may not become visible or hidden immediately on the scheduled publish or un-publish time; it could take up to 60 minutes for the changes to take effect. We recommend scheduling a publish or unpublish time at least 120 minutes into the future
- Click Add Slide to add more slides and repeat as needed
- Click Save
Once created, administrators can then add the slider to a Landing Page for their users to see and interact with it. For more information, please see the article Adding Content to Landing Pages.
