Hi, I was on the home page of this site and im not sure how to describe it: But you have the sort of flash banner where it has 3 pages. the first page says "iweb made easy" then you can click on page two and it says"all about iweb" and so on...
I was wondering how do you create that for your own use?
I was also wondering about how to do this. I see them on many websites and it easily provides the user with the latest information on the website, such as articles, videos, and so on.
Exactly...I know a lot of people like that style...i am interested in seeing how to do that.
That is a java slider effect, there are many of them out there to implement into your site. Here are a few you can go a check out Anything Slider, Easy Slider, Nivo Slider, Tiny Slider, Tabbed Rotator, jqbanner, and there are many more.
thank you for letting us know that information. You may want to not tell, but what is the one that you use for this site? It is okay if you would not like to share!
I think this looks great. A walk-through for this would be much appreciated!! I am very much a beginner.
AnythingSlider is a great one. I have been messing with it in Coda a little bit but i can not seem to put it all together....
Ahhhh! Those codes are humiliating! Is their something that I can just simply "paste" into iWeb? Or can you do a tutorial for the Nivo Slider?
"GravityBeats", there is a way that you can do that...sort of. I can email with a more in-depth explanation but basically you need to go to a site that provides one of these sliders. For example i went to "AnythingSlider". 1. They give you a folder to download. Go ahead and download that folder. 2. Once you get the folder it will have a few files like (folders called "css", "images","js" and a then a file called "index.php". "Index.php" is the source file, where you can edit everything. (For example you could upload all these files to your server and you would get the demo or example version that is shown on AnythingSlider's site. However, you obviously do not want the demo version, but it just shows you that it can work. Anyways....once you create your images and text that you want on the slider, upload it all to your server. Once they are uploaded you can finally edit the "index.php" file in a program like Coda, or TextEdit if you would like. It is very easy to edit! you just enter in your file names, size, etc. Then your files will be in place of the original demo files. Once you are done editing the file you can save it and upload it to your server. If you upload it to a brand new folder, it will create a brand new page that only has the slider on it. From there you can use iFrames to easily insert it into your site.
I know this is not a lot in detail but i hope that you can use it as a guide. If you want to see how AnythingSlider could look in a website then see my example here: http://www.thelighthouseoflapeer.org/yeah/Today.html
Notice that it does not look iFramed in, and looks great! Hope you have some luck with this!
I downloaded the AnythingSlider folder. I have uploaded it to my server. Now I just need to know what line of code to edit and then how to html snippet that "code" into iweb. Is there anyway to get that? Once I have it, I'll be able to do it all the time. I just can't figure it out.
It would be great to get a tutorial on how to do this. iWebUnlimited or someone.
I'll add creating a tutorial on this to my que.
