CSS-Tricks AnythingSlider in SharePoint
Chris Coyier from CSS-Tricks built this really cool jQuery plugin that creates a content slider that will support any regular HTML in the slides. This is cool because many sliders I have used had limitations on what could be on the slides and did not offer many of the featuers the AnythingSlider does.
AnythingSlider in SharePoint
Setup
To get this working in SharePoint you will need to make sure you have a reference to jQuery in the page somewhere as well as a list for the slider to read from. For my example I am using an out of the box annoucements list. You will also need the files for the plugin download the anythingSlider plugin from css-tricks.com.
- In SharePoint Designer add a dataview webpart to the page with any field from your annoucements list.
- Switch to code view and find the first <xsl> tag. It should be right after the closing <DatasSources> tag.
- Right click on the tag and choose “Select Tag”. Press delete, don’t worry we will be adding in our own xsl.
- Paste the following xsl into the page where you deleted the code.
