[Pro] Responsive Slideshow with Links

I would like to create something similar to this: http://melbourneroadhealth.com

Ideally, it could be with full-width hero images, but that is not an absolute requirement. It does need to be responsive, and I want each image to be a clickable link (like the example above) to other pages in the site.

I’ve considered:

  • target show/hide layer
  • WowSlider (I have a very old version and would probably need to upgrade)
  • CSSslider (also a costly option)
  • Owl Carousel (after viewing Thomas’ video), but I’m not sure if I can embed links…
  • Other options I’m unaware of?

Recommendations/advice please??? And thanks!

I just realized my above example is beautifully responsive, with the hours separating out on smaller screens! How did they do that???

What do you guys think? Is it possible to do this with FreeWay??

You can nest any Responsive Slider into a FW layout - just pick one.

Choose one of the Responsive Exhibeo themes if you have that or Wow Slider is an option too.

But there are literally hundreds out there - how you get it into your layout will depend on which one you go for.

Ok, thanks David. I was curious if anything has changed with responsive requirements.

Obviously you need a Responsive Slider but other than that…

Not sure if you can add links to an Exhibeo created slide though?

I’m still on Snow Leopard until I get a new computer. So, sadly, no Exhibeo for me. I’m going to give Owl Carousel a shot and see if I can save a few bucks on upgrading WOW or moving to CSSslider.

This one uses FlexSlider http://www.deltadesign.co/FW6Test/responsive/flexslider.html

I tried to give OwlSlider a shot. So far, I’ve failed miserably! Here’s my start: bet007(中国)官方网站

The developer tools in Chrome are giving me all kinds of errors and I’m guessing I’ve put the html markup in the wrong spots. I copied and pasted Matt’s example and changed the name of my owl container/wrapper.

There are Owl Carousel directions, but I’m afraid I’m still scratching my head…

Hi Doty, Have you placed the “owl-carousel” folder in my download to your “site folder”. At the moment your example can’t find CSS and JS files for owl.

you will have to manually upload “owl-carousel” folder to your server.

I thought that might be necessary, but I didn’t see anything about it on the Owl directions. So, where shall I put the “owl-carousel” folder???

Thanks!

Sorry Matt, I just saw that you said to put these files in the “Site Folder.” I was doing everything through an FTP program as I thought it was a huge no-no to muck around inside the site folder! Hmmmm… Another question, I downloaded the files from http://owlgraphic.com/owlcarousel/ (the latest beta version), but you clearly have more files in your site folder than appear on my Owl download. Are you using the beta version? I read Version 1 & 2 are incompatable.

Ok, not sure I’m doing this properly, but I copied your “owl-carousel” folder to the root client folder on my server and it worked!

Next question – If I wanted to do this http://www.owlcarousel.owlgraphic.com/demos/responsive.html how would I go about it??? Do I need to change the html markup?

I have two examples going:

Full Width: bet007(中国)官方网站

And a bad example here of smaller images: bet007(中国)官方网站

This is the goal: http://www.owlcarousel.owlgraphic.com/demos/responsive.html

Thanks so much for your help!!!

Hi Doty , didn’t realise you where after more than one image at a time in desktop view. Only used version 1 in the past but will have a look at beta version.

looks as if Richards link to AmazingSlider might be an simpler solution to implement.

Hi guys. Richard, I downloaded AmazingSlider. I like several of the examples they show on their site. However, it’s more expensive than WowSlider! I would like to see if I can get owl to do what I need first. I’m doing a site for a non-profit and I need to keep the cost as low as possible.

Thanks!
