The Magento Slider comes in four different variants. It can be set to slide horizontally or vertically. There is auto mode which can be turned on and off. You can define how many panels there will be and how long the slider will display one panel before sliding to the next one. You can place content of your choice in the panels: text, images, links. The slider can be used in template files, as well as in CMS pages. Handy navigation – go to the previous, next, or a specific panel, stop auto mode, play in auto mode. You can use it to present the highlights of your store or as an attractive intro on your welcome page.
