Hi, I just purchased the JQuery Slider Maker from you. May I know what is the version that you used for the “elFinder” for the latest purchase ? Currently the demo admin shows UI : 2.1.4/1.11.4. My understanding the newer version of elFinder will have Cloud storage connection. Is this also existed in my purchase?
Hi Wittonlam,
Thanks for purchase.
The version you mentionned is jQuery UI, but elFinder version is 2.0 You can see it in admin/assets/lib/elfinder2x/php/ElFinder.php
If you want the latest you can make a backup of slidermaker/admin/assets/lib/elfinder2x and replace it with the newest, it should work, but make a backup first & of course revert if there’s anything wrong.
If you need anything else you’re welcome,
Gilles
Hi, thanks for your feedback. I have try to replace the new version. Seems like the external cloud connection function is not there. Is there any PHP code that control the external cloud control? If no, can you able to help?
Hi,
I’m afraid I’ll not be able to help before a few days – too much work – , but you’ll find the call to elFinder in slidermaker/admin/index.php, starting L.277:
var elfinder = $('#elfinder').elfinder({ ... })
Then SliderMaker uses the API to add custom buttons & trigger events.
If elFinder changed their API it’ll require some work & may be difficult to setup.
Thanks ! Will check it out. One last question. I have able to see the elfinder admin panel. But when I click on the button below , MEDIA, SETTING, PREVIEW, PUBLISH, it shows nothing and no view at all. Is there anything that I need to change?
Hi,
Something has probably been broken following the elFinder upgrade – the best way to know what happened is to open your browser console & see the error message. Feel free to send me your ftp & url for more help
Hi, I have sent you my URL. Can you please check if you have received?
Hi,
Sorry for the delay, and thank you for waiting. I didn’t receive your email but got a problem with my server. Could you please send it again? I’ll do my best to be more reactive & answer you quickly.
Thanks,
Gilles
The browser’s console shows an error 500 when you open a slider folder. You should turn display_errors On in your php.ini to show the errors on screen (or find the error in your log file). For more help I’d need your ftp. I’m not 100% sure I can solve it for you because it can lead to complex solutions with your new elFiner, but I can at least have a look if you want.
Please send me your email so that I can send you the server login credential.
I received your email, I’ll have a look asap, it may take a few days, sorry I’m in a rush.
Hi. I bought your slider make some time ago and I have never got it to work. Have a look at slidermaker.tdbtools.com and you will see what I mean. I am stuck at this part page.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Jim,
First of all I would like to congratulate you, you seem to have already a solid knowledge for your age (but I don’t know when your picture was taken).
If you open your browser’s console, you’ll see a lot of 404 errors: the page should be in slidermaker/admin folder. For more help feel free to send me your ftp
Gilles
Firstly many apologies for the delay in replying! I am sending you details directly to your email address.
Hi Jim,
I just answered you & sent you explanations.
Basically, your problem is that your subdomain is pointing INSIDE the slidermaker folder, while it should point to the root folder.
If you need anything else you’re welcome,
Gilles
I have made amendments but still a problem. I have sent you an email to your gmail account/
Hi Jim,
I just answered your email, all’s working fine
Great service by theway. Many thanks!!
You’re welcome
I got your product from Envato a few months ago as a freebie. I know that I’m not entitled to get support from you in this way, but I just wanted to tell you, that it’s not working for me on the production level at all.
The admin is fully functional, I chose one of the provided templates (I didn’t change it at all), then I pasted the required code, uploaded the page, but when I try to load it, I can only see the for colorful squares spinnning forever.
I have PHP 5.6, and the page contains only the Slidermaker code, the basic html codes and nothing else. I have version 1.5.1
Could you help? Thank you
Hi Yaelede,
Just add an ending slash to data-root in the generated code & it should work.
If you need anything else you’re welcome,
Gilles
Thank you! It did the trick.
you’re welcome
Two more notes: 1. Can I choose different fonts for each slides? It seems that I can, but then I see that that font will applied to all slides. Am I missing something? 2. When I’m in admin, and I choose a layer to edit, an error message appears at the top of the page: “Notice: Undefined index: carousel in [my_path]\slider-maker\php\Slider.php on line 646” Does it effect something?
Thank you.
1. No, just a single font for all slides 2. Please buy & I’ll spend more time for you
Hi I try the demo mode and I don’t know how this working. I try to go to: https://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_doctype
There I put this code: <!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>Title of the document</title>
</head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker/assets/css/square-grey.min.css">
<!-- Paste in your page where the slider will be displayed -->
<!-- Available Languages : en -->
<div class="slidermaker" data-dir="beatles-video" data-root="https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker" data-debug="false" data-lang="en" />

<!-- Slider Content Ajax Request -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker/assets/js/slidermaker.min.js"></script>
I only get a animation. Can you please tell me how I innsert the code?
Hi,
It’ll not work on an external try-it editor, you’ve got to use it on your own php server.
Gilles
I also try with my server. its the same
Please try to add an ending slash to the data-root:
data-root=”https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker”
I try to add a ending slash like this. data-root=”https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker/” its the same
Can you please contact me and send me your url & ftp?
You should have a look to your browser console to see if there’s any error message – there should be one.
hi migli
can load on fullscreen function ?
scheduling timer function ?
Hi,
No you cannot, this is due to browsers security reasons.
It’s not a good practice to force users to enter full screen, that’s why most modern browsers don’t allow this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19355370/how-to-open-a-web-page-automatically-in-full-screen-modeYou can use any Javascript callback once the slideshow is loaded, but fullscreen will not work.
tq for your answer.. 1 more question..
layer text at content ..how to add break line
if content long texts..TQ
and howto disable scrollbar (overflow: hidden) ?
About line breaks: good question.
Have a look at: https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker/index.html#!/animated-layers
You’ll see that you can insert inline tags in your texts. So you can wrap parts of your texts into spans for example, and style them with css.
The 4th layer at https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker/demo-files/slideshows/creative-agency-slideshow.php is a good example.
Simple
tags won’t work because of the animations.
2nd question (scrollbar): I don’t know exactly what scrollbar you speak about, but scrollbars depend on your settings & I cannot help with this if you don’t give me the slideshow url.
Gilles
Tq for your support.. all problems have been resolved…
But 1 thing about text caption .. no display..howto setting it?? Tq
You’ve just got to enable captions in the settings tab, nothing else.
I’d need to access your Slider Maker admin to help more – feel free to contact me & send me your url
can it work with elementor?
Hi,
Go to https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker/admin/index.php, click the “publish” tab and you’ll see the code you have to paste inside your page to add your slideshow.
If you can add code in the head and body it’ll be perfect.
Gilles
I am receiving a “not found” javascript error. in this line of code
var scriptUrl = $(‘script[src$=”slidermaker.min.js”]’).get(0).src;
Has anyone else reported this?
Hi PatriaCo,
This part of the script looks for the script tag which gets slidermaker.min.js
It should be something like
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker/assets/js/slidermaker.min.js"></script>
(with your custom url).
If you use the unminified slidermaker/assets/js/slidermaker.js it’ll not work, or you have to change this way:
var scriptUrl = $(‘script[src$=”slidermaker.js”]’).get(0).src;
If you need anything else you’re welcome,
Gilles
Very much appreciated Cheers! 
Thanks to you Toneeeeee,

Hi, Is there a private way to get support for install issues? Thanks.
Sent you details via your contact form https://www.miglisoft.com/index.php#contact. Thanks.
We figured out the problem, everything seems fine now.Thanks.
Hi,
Thanks for purchase.It seems all is ok now, feel free to contact me for any question,

Can you provide some instruction on how to create a Carousel? I just purchased the Slider Maker … but no Carousels were included as samples and there’s no instructions on how to make one. Please let me know. Thanks!
Hello,
Thanks for purchase.
When you open the admin panel (slidermaker/admin/index.php) you can open the “publish” tab, and copy/paste the code in any html page, it’ll generate the slideshow.
The “take a tour” button is also a good way to get started.
If you need more help I’m available on chat at https://www.phpformbuilder.pro when I’m online (or of course here, by email, ...)
I hope I helped,
Gilles
Thank you for your response. But, you didn’t answer my question … I’m interested in how to create a “Carousel.” You state on the page where I purchased the script from Code Canyon that one can create a Carousel using the script. I have not seen anywhere in the instructions nor the console on how to create a Carousel. The “take a tour” button does not show how to create a Carousel. Please explain. Thank you.
Can you please show me an example of the type of Carousel you want to create?
Carousel is for me just like a Slideshow: https://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_ref_js_carousel.asp
I don’t know how to help you more for now.
Sure … here’s an example … a type of slideshow where there’s several images showing at once: https://www.jssor.com/demos/carousel-slider.slider
Hi,
I worked for you and just published a new version with the carousel you want.
Demo is online here: https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker/demo-files/slideshows/carousel.php
There’s now a new Carousel switch in the admin panel, in the settings tab.
Just switch on and it should be ok.
THANK YOU! I’ll download the new version. 
Thanks to you!
Please let me know if everything’s working as intended with the new version, and don’t forget to drop a rating on Codecanyon if you like,
Gilles
Ok, I’ll reinstall it today sometime and make sure it’s working and let you know. Thanks!
There’s something quirky about installing it again. But, I’ll let you know when I have more time exactly what is going on. Thanks!
You’re welcome
Great slideshow! One of the best I’ve seen.
I got two pre-sales questions:
1. When I add an image to the “full window black-and-white” slideshow (with the clock), my image doesn’t show up in the demo. Is that only in the demo or a bug?
2. Is it possible to add a lightbox option for every slideshow? So when I click on the image it will appear fully visible, because now when I set a desired size for the slideshow to fit my template the images are not completely visible also not when I click on them. And for my clients it’s important they can somehow see the entire image eventually. Or do you already have another solution for this?
Thank you very much
Hi Paul,
1/ I just tested, added an image to the slideshow and it worked fine. The added image is the last one on the slideshow (you can drag and drop to order). To keep the demo clean a reset is done with a CRON task, so maybe this happened unfortunately when you was trying the demo.
2/ You can use the sizing settings to match your needs, especially if you set the “image scale mode” to “contain” your images will not be cropped on screen.
2nd solution with lightbox: You can add a callback when the slideshow is loaded: https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker/index.html#!/javascript-callbackSo you can add any external lightbox, and attach events to the slideshow images.
If you need anything else you’re welcome,
Gilles
Thank you for quick reply! You were right about the slidehow it works now!
Got one more problem though:
When I upload a new image with the same name it doesn’t show the new image but it keeps showing the first one I gave the same name. For example when an image is called Slide1.JPG and later I delete it and upload a different image called Slide1.JPG it keeps showing the older one…. Renaming the images helps but my client has about unique 30 images every week that are automatically called Slide1.JPG, Slide2.JPG (because they export them from Powerpoint that does that by default). So renaming them each time to a completely unique name would be a big deal for my client (you can’t rename more at once).
Is there a way to fix this and update an image even though it has the same name?
Thank you!
I actually found the solution on my previous problem myself. I can tell my client to rename multiple images simultaneous with the F2 button (in windows) before uploading them. Again, really awesome and clean slideshow!
I actually found a solution for my previous problem myself. I just ask my client to rename multiple images simultaneous with the F2 button (in Windows). Again, really awesome and clean slideshow!
The problem doesn’t come frome the slideshow maker, but from the browser, which keeps images in cache.
As you may have seen, images filenames are automatically cleaned, and they’re indexed.
if you upload the same image (or 2 different with the same name), they will be renamed as img.jpg, img-1.jpg, ... etc.
You may suggest to your client a browser extension to clen the cache, or to keep the dev tools open to avoid the cache.
is there a way to customize this to use subfolders for the sliders? Before I start digging through code, i figured to ask you first to save some time and headache. Be great if we could organize things with subfolder management.
Hi,
Thanks for purchase. I’ll have a look at this on tomorrow morning and try to give you a cool solution.
Gilles
cool thanks. Also I second the ‘option for choosing a different preloader’... but for now is there a way to override it vs. adding it as an option in the UI?
This is a cool product too, good job.
Hi,
I’ve been thinking about the subfolders. Depending on what you need, there are two ways to do it (the first fairly simple, the second more complicated).
1. The slider folder is defined by a constant in slidermaker/conf.php: define(‘SLIDERS_DIR’, DIR .’/sliders/’); The idea is to remove this constant from the configuration file, and define it in slidermaker/admin/index.php. In this way the directory to use can be sent by a form (the user chooses his directory in a drop-down list, or you can define it yourself if there are several users with different accesses.
Only the selected directory will appear in the file browser, with its own sliders.
Important: each directory must contain a subdirectory.xmlfiles, containing itself a template.xml file on the slidermaker/sliders/.xmlfiles/template.xml model.
So when a slider directory is created you have to create.xmlfiles/template.xml inside.
So far I’ve tested it and it works well, but I haven’t gone any further.
2. The 2nd solution allows to display directly all parent directories with sliders directories inside directly in the file browser. It’s more complicated because you have to access the El Finder API.
In slidermaker/admin/index.php you will find this line: if (hash !=’undefined’ && elfinder.parents(hash).length == 2) {
“2” means we have to be in a direct child file from El Finder. If you replace “3” it will list the images in the subdirectories and display the “add image” button.
Where it gets complicated is that you have to send the files to El Finder’s connector. Currently the sent folder is “object.cwd().name” in the listImages function. You have to find a way to send something like “parent/” + object.cwd().name
About the preloader: It’s just a css: slidermaker/assets/scss/core/_core.scss
You can perform a global search/replace in slidermaker/assets/css and replace with the css of your choice (loading gif or other).
That’s all for now, I hope it helps.

Hi migli,
Very impressive code – I hadn’t expected this much sophistication.
I now have a couple of sliders on one page, what do I need to do to get the ‘play’ and ‘pause’ buttons?
P
Hi Wendy,
Thanks for purchase and for your encouragements.
Here’s how to setup your play/pause buttons.
Let’s say you have a slider in a folder named “my-slider”.
- add your play/pause buttons below your slider div:
<p><a id="pause-btn" href="#">Pause</a><a id="play-btn" href="#">Play</a></p> - Add this script on your page (I’ve just done it & tested for you):
<script type="text/javascript"> var playSlider = function() { slider.nextSlide(); timer = setTimeout(playSlider, 3000); }, pauseSlider = function() { clearTimeout(timer); }, slider, timer, $playBtn, $pauseBtn; var sliderMySliderCallback = function () { slider = $( '#my-slider0' ).data('sliderPro'); $playBtn = $('#play-btn'); $pauseBtn = $('#pause-btn'); $playBtn.on('click', function() { timer = setTimeout(playSlider, 3000); }); $pauseBtn.on('click', function() { pauseSlider(); }); }; </script>
Quick explainations:
- When a slideshow is loaded, it automatically looks for a callback function named slider-[YourSliderFolderName]Callback, where “YourSliderFolderName” is the camelcase name of your slider.
- The div which contains the slideshow (”#my-slider0”) in the js code must be the name of your slideshow + “0”, or the index of your slideshow if you have several slideshows on your page.
- If you need more help you can try to catch me on chat at https://www.phpformbuilder.pro, or by email, and send me your url & ftp.

Hi,
Thanks for quick reply.
I’ll give this a go and get back to you in the week.

Thanks to you
Hi, Looks good. Two questions.
How easy/difficult is it to add play/pause buttons to control the movement? Is it possible to have more than one implementation on the same page?
Regards,
Philip Bolt
Hello Philipp,
1/ Yes, you can have several slideshows on your page. Example here: https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker/demo-files/slideshows/several-sliders-on-same-page.php
2/ The play/pause buttons can be done with a few lines of Javascript. I can help you for this if you give me your ftp.

Is there a way to rotate slides based on a specific date with this slider? If not, will this become a feature in future update?
Hi,
This is not a built-in feature, but you can easily program this with php on your page. If you don’t know how to proceed I can make it for you.
I’d love to add this kind of features and many others to Slider Maker, but I’ve got to wait for more sales and benefits to invest more time in this for now.
If you need anything else you’re welcome,
Gilles
Hello migli,
Sorry for the late reply, I just got home…I appreciate your return message, and I will check back with you in regards to this as I am really trying to find something like this as a built-in feature, but if I don’t find anything, I will likely come back here to you.
Thank you Brian
You’re welcome
hello
really like your script. very easy and good. only thing is when using on local network with ip adresse the images in the admin site is not showing.
furthermore it would be really cool/nice if you could implement so that we could set different duration time on each image/video. ie an video lasting 2 min should have other duration time than image.
regards Martin
Hello,
Thanks for purchase and for your compliments (please rate if you like the script, it helps for SEO & visibility)
I’ve no problem with admin on my localhost, and cannot solve this without more information. Would you contact me and send me a screenshot of browser’s console ?
If you want we can have a Teamviewer session – send me your ID and pass, I’ll try to connect. This way I’ll be able to test on your localhost.
About different duration time on each image/video, you’re right, this would be a good (and required) improvement. I add this on top of my TODO list. I don’t have so much time to achieve it these days, but I’ll do as soon as possible.
Gilles
Hi , i have a questions. In the back end menu Would you like to remove the buttons it is possible? thank’s best regard
Hi,
Thanks for purchase. Which buttons do you mean?
You can customize many settings in /slidermaker/conf.php
conf.php allows to disable login and “take a tour” buttons.
If you need something more specific, please contact me, tell me a bit more and send me your ftp + url
Thanks,
Gilles
Hi, I need to animate this https://www.corobori.com/sos/picSlideFading.jpg.
What I want is to see picture fading in and out. I do not want the pictures to be sliding from left to right or vice versa. Just showing a bunch of 7 logos (all of them are individual pics), make them disappear and show another bunch of 7 logos, etc.
Is it possible with your slider ?
Hi,
Yes, that’s easy. You can test with online admin demo here: https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker/admin/
1/ Add a folder to create your slider
2/ Upload your images inside your new folder
3/ Go to the Settings tab, and select transitions: fade in/out
4/ Go to the preview tab and you’ll see your slider in action.
If you need anything else you’re welcome,
Gilles
Merci pour votre réponse. J’ai trouvé ce que je voulais avec un autre auteur.
Bonne chance avec votre produit, merci de m’avoir informé
Hello,
could you please help me how can i use your product to another dashboard? I have a real estate cms (php script) and i would like to hava e an option with slider maker for home page in a specific div.
With you script i have a publish code and i have to copy and paste it to the code. The problem is that the admin in the future should have the option to create by his self a new slider without me to take the code and paste it.
Hello,
If I understand you have 2 different things to achieve :
- integrate Slider Maker admin panel into your existing admin - configure somewhere the slider to use for homepage and add code to homepage to load it automatically
Is it correct ?
Can you please contact me here : https://www.miglisoft.com/#contact and send me your ftp access + url ?
I cannot help more until I see your code.
Gilles
how to install ? simply explain how the script be installed ?
Hi Ikmansri,
Thanks for your advice : I thought it was clear, but I’ll update description to explain.
There’s almost nothing to install : you just have to upload package on your server.
Then open authentification setup page on your browser to set your login & password, and go to slider maker’s admin url.
Documentation is available here : https://www.slider-maker.com/slidermaker/#!/quick_start_guide
