Installation:

Paste in Custom Code area inside <head> tag in either:

Page Settings:

Site Settings:

How To:

Because Swiper and Sliderflow rely on very specific classes and CSS, we've made it easy to know the best places to adjust design:

Style:
To change color, borders, fonts, sizes, and more, look for any divs that contain the combo class sliderflow-style-here to make your adjustments.

Please Note:
It is not recommended to change the names of any classes, nor to style anything that does not contain the combo class listed above.

Demonstration:

How To:

Because Swiper and Sliderflow rely on very specific classes and CSS, we've made it easy to know the best places to adjust design:

Position:
To change from static to absolute for example, move the navigation or pagination and more, look for any divs that contain the combo class sliderflow-position-here to make your adjustments.

Please Note:
It is not recommended to change the names of any classes, nor to position anything that does not contain the combo class listed above.

Demonstration:

How To:

The sliders are designed to work without any major customization, but if you want to make adjustments or customize:

Attributes Location:
Locate and select the Collection List div named swiper, then in the Collection List Settings find the area called Custom Attributes

Please Note:
The sliders come pre-set with default attributes, but all of these values can be modified. To restore them, simply re-enter the word "default."

Demonstration:

Navigator → .swiper div → Settings → Custom Attributes

Tips & Tricks

### See a portion of the next slide
- Set swiperSlidesPerView[breakpoint] to a decimal. Example: 4.2

---

### Hide all navigation
- Set swiperShowNavigation[breakpoint] to false

---

### Hide various pagination optons
- To hide Next / Previous buttons, set swiperShowNextPrev[breakpoint] to false
- To hide bullets, set swiperShowBullets[breakpoint] to false
- To hide the numeric page count, set swiperShowFraction[breakpoint] to false
- To hide the Play / Pause buttons, Set swiperShowPlayPause[breakpoint] to false
- To hide the Progress Bar, set swiperShowProgressbar[breakpoint] to false
- To hide the Scroll Bar, set swiperShowScrollbar[breakpoint] to false.

---

### To turn a slider into a marquee
- Set swiperAutoplay[breakpoint] to marquee
- Recommended: Set swiperRewind to false
- Recommended: Set swiperLoop to true

---

### Use Parallax
- Set swiperParallax[breakpoint] to true
- Make sure there's a div with the attributes swiperParallaxContainer="true" to enable (provided with the sample slide content). Set child elements to contain values such as data-swiper-parallax="-10%" and/or data-swiper-parallax-scale="1" to see the parallax in motion.

---

### Move pagination elements such as Next / Prev buttons to the sides or "on top" of the slides, instead of underneath
- Look for any divs that contain the combo class position-here and change from static to absolute, and then position however you would like.

---

### Force a slider, marquee, etc. to stay a slider even if there are less slides than slides per view (by default it will hide the navigation and turn of slider functions since a slider is not necessary)
- Set swiperLoop to forced or set swiperRewind to forced
- This enables looping and also forces it to remain a slider if swiperSlidesPerView is less than or equal to the number of slides present. If there are not enough slides for a loop, it will clone the full set of slides once to make enough to create the loop.
