Overview

Carousels, the easy way

A slider is a named carousel; each slide carries an image, a title, up to three subtitles, a link and a position. Sliders are global — they aren't tied to one site — and can optionally link to a page.

The tool is a three-level drill-down — sliders → a slider's slides → a slide. It also exposes a reusable slider picker that other modules (News, Blog) embed.

Key features

Everything a carousel needs

Named sliders, rich slides and one block to show them — reused across every page.

Named sliders

Each slider is a named carousel you reuse across pages.

Rich slides

Image, title, up to three subtitles and a link, per slide.

Drag to reorder

Reorder slides by drag and drop, and toggle each on or off.

Show Slider block

Drop the block on a page and pick which slider to display.

Global, optionally page-linked

Sliders live platform-wide and can attach to a landing page.

Reusable picker

Other modules (News, Blog) embed the same slider picker.

For developers

How it's wired

A content block

The Show Slider block extends MelisEngine's MelisTemplatingPlugin — front() renders, back() edits.

Reusable picker

Other modules embed the slider picker to attach a slider to their records.

Installed via DbDeploy

The melis_cms_slider_* tables install through DbDeploy.

// Show Slider is a templating plugin that renders the chosen slider:
class ShowSliderPlugin extends MelisTemplatingPlugin {
    public function front() { /* render the selected slider */ }
}
