Featured content sliders are moving image displays that NationBuilder allows you to set up on most pages of your website, although most people use it on the homepage. The images on your featured content slider will be links to different pages on your website.
A:
To configure a featured content slider, click Pages and then Edit next to the page you wish to install it on. Then click Settings > Featured Content Slider.
You add one image at a time. Choose a label for your image and enter the slug of the page on your website which you want your image to link to (the label text will link to the slide, not the page). The action text you specify will be overlayed on top of the image and clickable. Now select an image to upload from your computer by clicking on Choose File.
Images look best when they span the width of your left column, so an image size of 660px by 250px usually works well. In some themes, such as Revolution, the image slider spans the entire page width, in which case you'd want an image size of about 960px by 250px. Make sure all your images are exactly the same size so they cleanly slide into each other.
You can then select to publish your slider and click on Save featured content slider to save. You can always go back and edit an existing slider. Now you are ready to add more sliders to your display; do this by taking the same steps you did to create the first one. You can re-order the slides simply by dragging and dropping them into place. We recommend 3-5 sliders to avoid crowding.

Another question: How would a content developer access the part of the page before the slider. For instance, I’m trying to get an h1 heading above the slider, but even line #1 of the page’s template is too low in the DOM.

Thx, Jesse! Works like a charm. I just discovered that and came back here to share that I did. (Sidenote: I’d assume that “following reactions” is an indicator that I’d receive notifications of comment activity on this page, but that doesn’t seem to be the case for me, fwiw.)

Yes, you can easily move a slider from one page to any other page. Just click “Edit” next to the slider you wish to move, and enter the page slug you wish to move it to under “Move to another page.”

Great feature, thanks. Any way to move an already created slider from (for example) a test page to its actually desired parent page? Do I need to re-create rather than move?

Glad you like it! The NationBuilder featured content slider links the image to the page slug you specify, whereas the labels act as navigation between the slides (I’ve updated this FAQ to reflect this). The labels can’t be links to the page slug as well. You can either install your own image slider which provides that behavior, or you can add text links beneath the slider.

I like this feature! Very easy to implement if you can get your images sized identically. On my site, the labels below the sliders bring up the chosen image, but do not link to the selected slug as described here. Is this a change in your feature? Or is there an easy way to make the labels act like links? I would prefer it with both the label and image linking to the chosen page.
