slider in eZ publish

Hello,

You can copy the image class and create a new class, for example 'slider_image' with the attributes name, caption, image, link [Object relation].

In your Content structure create a folder for your slider images.

Then create a template for your slider, for example 'slider.tpl' and fetch your slider images:

{def $slider_images=fetch( 'content', 'list',
hash( 'parent_node_id', <your folder's node id>,
'sort_by', array('priority', true()) ))}

Then iterate over your nodes

{foreach $slider_images as $slider}
...............
{/foreach}

If you need your slider on the frontpage only you can hardcode it in your pagelayout.tpl

{if eq( $module_result.node_id , 2)}
{include uri='design:slider.tpl'}
{/if}

There's also a nice tutorial that can help you on this:

Hope this helps!
