Module Basic Configuration

basic configuration

Number of Items

Number of items you want to include in the slider.

Margin (px)

Margin between slides when using more than one slide per page.

Slideshow Effect

The effect you would like for the slideshow transitions.

Autoplay

Would you like to enable autoplay of the slideshow? Otherwise, transitions will be manual.

Slider Delay

Set the time you want each picture to appear (value is set in ms).

Transition Duration

Set the time you want the slide transition to take (value in ms).

On Hover Stop

Stop the slide transition when mouse is over.

Dimensions

Height (px)

If height adjustment 'adjusts', each slide height will depend on its own image and the value set here will be the maximum height the slider can take (0 means no maximum height); if height adjustment 'crops' the height here will be the unique slider height.

Height Adjustment

In order to preserve the image proportions, you can decide whether to crop the image when the width is less than the image width (forcing the entered height) or to adjust the height depending on the displayed image width.
