shouldn't be to hard to make jgarcia could probably make it in a snap its really simple jquery

you might even be able to use this addonhttp://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/scrapbook_tabs/...
create a custom template which displays a slider instead of tabs..

but mike is right, it's not difficult to build but it takes more than half an hour..

Looking for something like this?

I wrote the block used there a couple months ago and got it mostly ready to go into the marketplace. For several different reasons, though, I haven't released it yet. If you're interested and would be willing to provide feedback, let me know. I'd be happy to mail you copy.

I'd love to have something like that!!!

looks nice but I found one issue. It looks like you don't load all the html (img tags) at the beginning, this makes the layout flicker for a bit..

Not a big deal though..

However, I'd use html output and wouldn't put all the html content in a JavaScript string. Would make it cleaner, you could put all the JavaScript stuff in an external file and it would load all the pictures at the beginning.

oh I didn't realize that it slides in all 4 directions. This is cool!

Yeah, you guys' comments are part of the reason I haven't released it (yet). The slider is completely dynamic - it can even slide (some) C5 blocks and populate slides via Ajax. The question of how to pre-cache things (especially user driven events) is non-trivial.

yes, but I think it might already be a nice addon if it would slide in just two directions.. left and right.

but putting what you did in a package looks like a nice challenge!

That's a good point about using HTML output vs. javascript array, Remo. I hadn't thought much about it, but there are a lot of advantages to embedding normal HTML. I will definitely do that.

Thanks for all the feedback, and specially for the offer from tbcrowe; you should definitively make a package from that stuff.

After I wrote this post, I was thinking about all this and further needs that may come up on this... I change my mind, I don't need a sliding TEXT content block, but instead a sliding BLOCKS content. What I mean with that, it has to be made so we can add inside of it any kind of blocks, like text content, images, music, video, user infos, etc.

What do you think about that? Does it make sense? In my point of view, it seems more flexible, and have more possibilities with it.

Again, I appreciate all your comments.

I wish you all a Happy New Year 2010...
I hope that one of you guys will make it happen. The best is yet to come.

Cheers!

My slider will actually scroll blocks. The text/image slides are actually content blocks. Take a look at the 'contact' page - that's an embedded form block. It's even possible to embed sliders within a slider. Not all blocks work, however.

Can I give it a try?

Should I send you a PM for testing it?
I hope it will works with the Area Splitter, the Music and Video Package.

Thanks.

Please PM my your email address. I'll sent you a zip file with the package.
