Question:
I am in desperate need of something very similar to your amazing slider. I need to build a slider into a static dreamweaver page that shows thumbnails (different sizes) along with the bigger video player window on different slides.
1. Does amazing slider work only as a WordPress plugin or can I use it with dreamweaver? Have cs4.
2. Can I build different sliders that look like your demos, here? https://amazingslider.com/examples/jquery-slider-with-multiple-rows-thumbnails/
3. Can I make these thumbnails slightly different sizes?
Answer:
1. Yes. Amazing Slider works with Dreamweaver. You can view the tutorial here: https://amazingslider.com/how-to-add-jquery-slider-to-dreamweaver/
2. The demo is a skin in the software. In the software, step 2, Skins dialog, you can choose the skin Multirows.
3. You can change the thumbnail size in the application, Step 2, Skins dialog, Navigation tab.
Question:
Hi I have purchased the license for your product, one slider does not start on my website, however there are other sliders of the page that work. I am editing in dreamweaver.
Any idea what mistake I’m making?
Answer:
There are two sliders on your webpage. I can see the smaller one works fine, but the bigger one does not.
The reason is because there are accented letters in the image filenames of the bigger slider.
To fix the problem of the bigger slider:
Only use numbers 0-9, letters a-z, A-Z, underscores _ and dashes – in the image and video filenames. Do NOT use space, !, &, # and accented letters in the image filenames, especially the accented letters. They will cause problems in some web browsers.
Question:
Good Morning,
I downloaded the free version of AmazinSliders to test it. An I have noticed the following. When I have a video playing on the slider it works fine in all other browsers except Firefox. I started with version 30.0 and it only shows a black box where the video should be. I then updated Firefox to version 31.0 with the same results.
I was wondering if you guys are aware of that behavior and if so do you have a fix for it.
Answer:
Firefox does not support mp4 as its HTML5 format.
If you only provide one mp4 format, the slider will use Flash to play mp4 on Firefox.
Please upload the slider files to your web server and test online. Flash video playing may not work when you directly open the file from local hard disk.
If you want to use HTML5 on Firefox, you need to provide an alternative WebM video. You can add the WebM video in the Add Slides dialog, “Add Video”. You can use http://firefogg.org/ to convert your mp4 to webm format.
Question:
Can I put a different background behind the Lightbox?
Answer:
You can try to add the following CSS to your webpage:
<style type="text/css">
#html5-lightbox-overlay {
background-color:#ff0000 !important;
}
</style>
Question:
I’m interested in your commercial version of Amazing Slider, but would like to know first if I can use a URL address to an image instead of having it located in a folder on the server.
Answer:
You can add an image from your local computer, after you create the slideshow, you can open the generated file “slider.html” with a text/HTML editor, and edit the image link to your own URL address.
For example, in the following HTML code, you can change the image address to your own URL address:
<!– Insert to your webpage where you want to display the slider –>
<div id=”amazingslider-1″ style=”display:block;position:relative;margin:0px auto 0px;”>
<ul class=”amazingslider-slides” style=”display:none;”>
<li><img src=”images/night-in-the-city-600-300.jpg” alt=”City Night” /></li>
<li><img src=”images/sakura-trees-600-300.jpg” alt=”Sakura Trees” /></li>
<li><img src=”images/sea-side-600-300.jpg” alt=”Sea Side” /></li>
</ul>
<ul class=”amazingslider-thumbnails” style=”display:none;”>
<li><img src=”images/night-in-the-city-600-300-tn.jpg” /></li>
<li><img src=”images/sakura-trees-600-300-tn.jpg” /></li>
<li><img src=”images/sea-side-600-300-tn.jpg” /></li>
</ul>
</div>

Question:
I am having problems running two sliders on my Volusion site. As you can see, with 2 sliders running, one on each page….the home slider takes on the size of the slider on the product page. Thank you for your help.
Answer:
If you want to add multiple sliders to one website, when creating the slider, in the application, Publish dialog, you need to configure a different “Slider id” for each slider.
When inserting the HTML code to your web page, for the second and after sliders, you also need to remove the second jquery.js and amazingslider.js from the head section codes:
<!– Insert to your webpage before the </head> –>
<script src=”http://myvolusionstore.com/v/homeslider/jquery.js”></script>
<script src=”http://myvolusionstore.com/v/homeslider/amazingslider.js”></script>
<script src=”http://myvolusionstore.com/v/homeslider/initslider-1.js”></script>
<!– End of head section HTML codes –>
<!– Insert to your webpage before the </head> –>
<script src=”http://myvolusionstore.com/v/homeslider/jquery.js”></script>
<script src=”http://myvolusionstore.com/v/homeslider/amazingslider.js”></script>

Question:
Hello, I recently purchased a commercial bundle of the amazing slider and carousel. I am having a problem though, I want to run the amazing slider on the homepage of my Volusion site, and the Amazing Carousel on a separate page within the same site. Is this possible? I have entered the code, but only the amazing slider works because it is the last script before the close of the </head> tag. Please let me know what can be done about this! Thank you very much for your support.
Answer:
When adding the head section code, please remove the second line of jquery.js.
For example, for the following code, you need to remove the line marked by red:
<!– Insert to your webpage before the </head> –>
<script src=”http://yourvolusionsite.com/v/carousel/jquery.js”></script>
<script src=”http://yourvolusionsite.com/v/carousel/amazingcarousel.js”></script>
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”http://freeshipfit.com/v/carousel/initcarousel-1.css”>
<script src=”http://yourvolusionsite.com/v/carousel/initcarousel-1.js”></script>
<!– End of head section HTML codes –>
<!– Insert to your webpage before the </head> –>
<script src=”http://yourvolusionsite.com/v/homeslider/jquery.js”></script>
<script src=”http://yourvolusionsite.com/v/homeslider/amazingslider.js”></script>
<script src=”http://yourvolusionsite.com/v/homeslider/initslider-1.js”></script>
