Featured Content Slider v2.4 help

[kenw232]

I have an issue with Featured Content Slider v2.4.

It works well but it would be great if I could get the content to slide in from the right like it did before (from the Feb 12th, 2008 version).

Now it has to fade or just appear. any idea how I can get back the older slide effect?

There different versions. One has a slide and one has a fade. I think you should use the original. Were you having any problems with that one? If you were we can help.

Actually, I think you want the glider:

not the slider.

@John,
Thats what I thought he was talking about, I didn't see that it was called a glider, not a slider. Tehehe.

yes, the glider is the old one I guess. It worked fine too its just I really like/need the "select specific slide" feature:
featuredcontentslider.htm?slider1=4

but I need it with the slide effect, not the fade effect.

any idea how to add the slide1=? feature to the old glider script?

Where you have your js that looks something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">

featuredcontentglider.init({
	gliderid: "canadaprovinces", //ID of main glider container
	contentclass: "glidecontent", //Shared CSS class name of each glider content
	togglerid: "p-select", //ID of toggler container
	remotecontent: "", //Get gliding contents from external file on server? "filename" or "" to disable
	selected: 0, //Default selected content index (0=1st)
	persiststate: false, //Remember last content shown within browser session (true/false)?
	speed: 500, //Glide animation duration (in milliseconds)
	direction: "downup", //set direction of glide: "updown", "downup", "leftright", or "rightleft"
	autorotate: true, //Auto rotate contents (true/false)?
	autorotateconfig: [3000, 2] //if auto rotate enabled, set [milliseconds_btw_rotations, cycles_before_stopping]
})

</script>

Change it to this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var findnn = "glide=";
var im_urlnn = document.URL;
var find_mnn = im_url.search(find);
var full_unn = im_url.substr(find_m+find.length);

featuredcontentglider.init({
	gliderid: "canadaprovinces", //ID of main glider container
	contentclass: "glidecontent", //Shared CSS class name of each glider content
	togglerid: "p-select", //ID of toggler container
	remotecontent: "", //Get gliding contents from external file on server? "filename" or "" to disable
	selected: full_unn, //Default selected content index (0=1st)
	persiststate: false, //Remember last content shown within browser session (true/false)?
	speed: 500, //Glide animation duration (in milliseconds)
	direction: "downup", //set direction of glide: "updown", "downup", "leftright", or "rightleft"
	autorotate: true, //Auto rotate contents (true/false)?
	autorotateconfig: [3000, 2] //if auto rotate enabled, set [milliseconds_btw_rotations, cycles_before_stopping]
})

</script>

Then when you go to the page it'd be like:
page.html?glide=2;

for whatever reason this didn't work for me. but once I seen the selected: 0 option there in the featuredcontentglider.init I just used PHP to grab the glide= and output it there...

thanks for your help.
