Which position do I assign the module to?

We recommend to set it to the "debug" (or similar) position. If your template does not have a "debug" position, then you can set it to any other position.

How do I add a custom slider?

Simple. We have added 5 custom slots via the backend for you to do this. All you need to do is upload the icon you want to use to the same directory as all the other icons:

media/mod_social_slider/icons

Then when entering the icon name in the parameter field, type in the name of the image + the format, for example:

new_icon.png

The icon should be a 32x32 pixels, and ideally in PNG format.

Can I hide the module on mobile/tablet devices?

Yes. Since v4.1.0, we added the "Module Class Suffix" field under the "Advanced" tab. In this, you can define your Bootstrap (or other framework) utility classes to hide/display the module on certain viewport sizes. Your template may also have the ability to do this too.

Can I change the order of the slides?

Yes. Since v1.4.0 we added in the ability to change the order that the slides appear in.

How can I make the tabs slide out on mobile/tablet devices?

Unfortunately you can't really hover on a mobile or tablet device, so currently you are only able to click the tabs to open the social network page.

How do I translate the text on the custom slides

This feature is new to version 1.5.3 of the Social Slider, so be sure you have this version first.

Firstly, open the Social Slider in the Module Manager and you will see a parameter called "Text" for each custom slider. In here, input the following:

JJSOCIALSLIDER_CUSTOM_TEXT_1

Once done, save you changes, then on the top menu, go to Extensions >> Language Manager >> Overrides. In here go to add a new override and in the first input field that says Language Constant, add the string we created before >> JJSOCIALSLIDER_CUSTOM_TEXT_1. In the second input field called Text, add in the text you want to be displayed on the site. For each language, create a new override and make sure the Language Constant is always the same.
