The Nivo Slider Dreamweaver Extension by the Guys @ DMXzone.
by Paul Ogier on Jun 17, 2011 • 10:53 am No CommentsThe Nivo Slider is a great and powerful jQuery slider. It is very simple and can be used just about anywhere including on WordPress sites. So when I heard that the guys @ DMXzone had released an extension for Dreamweaver that made it simple to add photos from a static or dynamic source, I had to look at it.
As with all the extensions from DMXzone, there are many options for you to choose and this extension makes no apologies for the incredible amount of customisation. You can edit the Title, Link, Description and target of the link. You can attach this to the DMXzone lightbox extension, it will also, if you want, automatically create the image titles for you, from the photos.
So you want more customisation? Of course you do. The Advanced settings for the Nivo Slider allows you to choose a theme for your slider. You can also select how you want hings to change like show the next and previous buttons and allow the Keyboard navigation to work. You can also choose how you long each transition must take and how transparent (opacity) you want it to be.
This is a very simple but very powerful extension. I would definitely recommend this for any one using Dreamweaver that needs a slider.
