How to add a Slider component to your SharePoint site

All BindTuning Themes come with Bootstrap components which you can leverage to build action on your SharePoint pages, improving user experience and engagement.

Those same Bootstrap components are only appliable for Classic SharePoint sites and/or pages and are static by nature, needing manual code adjustments in order to modify their correlative content. However, BindTuning offers the Build feature, a bundle of 19+ Web Parts, that constitute a highly functional and dynamic approach to content management, overcoming Bootstrap widgets limitations, as well as providing you with cross-platform compatibility.

Further information relating to the Build feature, as well as detailed instructions on how to start a trial can be found here.

BindTuning's Build feature provides a dynamic alternative to the Slider component seen on this article.

    It's good but it could be better by adding guidelines about html code

    I have Nivo slider working properly in Terra theme (trial version), but in the Flexo theme, the placeholder (SliderZone) is down with the hidden placeholders -- lines 610 - 612

    <div class="ms-hide">

         <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="TitleZone" runat="server" Visible="false">/asp:ContentPlaceHolder

         <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="SliderZone" runat="server" Visible="false">/asp:ContentPlaceHolder

    Where should i put the new div to hold this placeholder if i want to use it -- Flexo theme?

    I am using the Flaat theme and was wondering if there is the best image size for responsive layout?

    Hello, I'm using the Ignite theme and would like to set the interval for the slider. Where is the file that contains those settings?
