We have seen how Sliders can be used as Image Sliders in Episode 3. This is quite easy to understand since we see Sliders being used frequently across the web. However, on MOBLE Widgets can feed any type of content and they don't always have to link to a Page or open up an image in a Lightbox popup. In this Episode, we start by looking at how Widgets can be used to display entire Pages in Sliders. Then we move on to show you how you can even display YouTube videos inside your own animated Widgets.
Normally a Widget feed will display the Page Icon (thumbnail). It is possible however to display an entire page inside a Slider. This can be incredibly useful for Slide Show presentations to bring Keynote or Powerpoint style presentations to your website, with all the benefits of being able to be shared on the internet, and even password protected for special groups or individuals.
Page Sliders can also be incredibly useful galleries, instead of Image Sliders. Imagine if you had a series of Page Section with different background images, and you'd like to display your text in completely different ways for each Slider. With a Page Slider, anything is possible. You can even display Widgets in Widgets, Sliders in Sliders, or have a slide with a background image, followed by a background video, then Multi-Slider Gallery. Whatever you can do on a page, you can effectively display in a slide. Page Sliders are perfect for Sales and Marketing Presentations and are a valuable additional business tool that just works.
We could easily call a Page Slider a Section Slider since more often than not you're going to set each page up as a 'Hidden' 'Section', and then Tag them.
With this in mind, set up your Page Slider as follows:
Now you're ready to set up your Widget you can do this as follows:
When creating new Page Sections for your Slider, you should ensure the height of each Section is exactly the same height. This will allow for a nice even look when the pages slide between each other.
Considerations for fixed height:
MOBLE designed and built our website in under a day. It was incredible to see how quickly the website came together. The MOBLE team took extra steps with the remaining time by designing a captivating javascript animation on the home page, they even tweaked our logo. We highly recommend MOBLE. We'll certainly be using MOBLE for future projects.

On MOBLE it is possible to play YouTube, Vimeo and Wistia videos in your Widgets; such as Sliders, Grids, Masonry and Mix. You can effectively start your own video gallery on your website. This is often a surprising feature since these videos are just embed code and they are really playing from YouTube, Vimeo or Wistia Websites. So the fact that you can play this code in a gallery and even apply effects to them often leaves people wondering how it's done. Let's find out.
Finally, it's worth reinforcing that any type of content can be displayed in a Widget at the same time. Here we see the same Widget with both Images and Videos. You can also add Blogs, Products, Events, and Pages.
You can also add Audio in the same way as Videos by using the embed code from your favourite audio platform, such as Soundcloud.
