* These settings can be specified both in the slideshow and for each element individually.

  • In addition to the standard items mentioned above, simple image items can also be used in a slideshow. These are created directly in the slideshow and consist of only one image + optional multilingual description. So you can create simple image slideshows without having to create each item individually beforehand.

Can be used everywhere

  • Slideshow boxes support all box positions of the CMS. Depending on the selected position, the slideshow changes its appearance e.g. with "Below Header" it takes up the entire width.
  • In addition, slideshows can also be inserted via BBCode wherever the text editor (WYSIWYG) is available.

Supports multilingualism

  • Decide for each slideshow item whether it should be monolingual or multilingual.

  • In addition to the static items that are created via the administration, you can also include dynamic content
    • This works via own programmed processors or provided processors (included in the package or provided via additional plugins)
      • The package currently includes one processor for articles, to display articles from the article-system
    • A processor can be created for all slideshows or individually per slideshow
    • With identifiers per slideshow, the slideshow can be distinguished in a processor
