Slider Revolution Magento 2.x Extension Documentation

Special Content Sources

There are several new content sources that can be used for Slider Revolution.
These include Instragram, Facebook, Twitter and more.

  • Important Article Note!
    Since the setup for each of these special content sources is all very similar, in the beginning of this article, we'll walk through a single, general example, and then toward the end, discuss the different specific settings for each source.

1. Select a Source

special-content-source

2. Fill out the Source's Settings

Most of the special sources require some type of ID / additional data.  Use the linked resources  (circles in red in example below) to learn how you can retrieve this special information.

special-source-settings

3. Select "Stream Image" or "Stream Video", depending on your special source.

  • Quick Note:
    A "slide" for a "special content source slider" is a template that will be used for how the content will be displayed. Only one template is required, meaning only one "slide" needs to be setup.

4. Add some Text/HTML Layers to pull in special content

add-text-layer
4.1 Then click the "Edit Meta" icon for the layer, and choose one of the listed options that can be pulled in for the special content source.
add-meta-slug
youtube-meta
4.2 Next, style the layer as you would a regular text field, and then save the current slide.

  • 1. Slides (max 500) - Choose the number of items to pull in from your content source.
  • 2. Cache (sec) - A cache of 1200 (20 minutes) would allow your pages to load faster, as the Instagram API would only be called for your site every 20 minutes.
