• Live Demo
• Download

A slider with a variety of unique transition effects. For full specifications visit the official website http://nivo.dev7studios.com

 

JavaScript

We should include jQuery framework and jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js by pointing src attribute in the script tag to those .js files.

Initialization script we place in the section of the document

$(window).load(function() {
         $('#slider').nivoSlider();     
});

You can also define some additional parameters

        effect:'random', //Specify sets like: 'fold,fade,sliceDown'
        slices:15,
        animSpeed:500,
        pauseTime:3000,
        startSlide:0, //Set starting Slide (0 index)
        directionNav:true, //Next & Prev
        directionNavHide:true, //Only show on hover
        controlNav:true, //1,2,3...
        controlNavThumbs:false, //Use thumbnails for Control Nav
        controlNavThumbsFromRel:false, //Use image rel for thumbs
        controlNavThumbsSearch: '.jpg', //Replace this with...
        controlNavThumbsReplace: '_thumb.jpg', //...this in thumb Image src
        keyboardNav:true, //Use left & right arrows
        pauseOnHover:true, //Stop animation while hovering
        manualAdvance:false, //Force manual transitions
        captionOpacity:0.8, //Universal caption opacity
        beforeChange: function(){},
        afterChange: function(){},
        slideshowEnd: function(){} //Triggers after all slides have been shown

 

HTML

Below you can see general HTML script representation. To add a caption to an image you simply need to add a title attribute to the image. To add an HTML Caption simply set the title attribute to the ID of a element that contains your caption (prefixed with a hash). Note that the HTML element that contains your caption must have the CSS class nivo-html-caption applied and must be outside of the slider div.

    
    
    
    



    This is an example of a HTML caption with a link.
