Note: This article is work in progress.
The ThemeWare® CMS element "Call-to-Action slide (Hero slider)" is explicitly intended for use in the CMS block "Hero slider (...)". The CMS element is not designed for use in other CMS blocks and does not work in other CMS blocks.
Note: The element is explicitly intended for use in its own CMS block. It is not designed for use in other CMS blocks and therefore cannot be exchanged or placed in other blocks.
Important: This element is only available in the ThemeWare® Pro Edition.
You can configure the ThemeWare® CMS element "Call-to-Action slide (Hero slider)" as follows:
Click on the corresponding CMS block (1) to activate the "edit mode"
Navigate to the desired CMS element using the arrow navigation (2)
The "Element settings" pop-up will open
Make the desired changes
Save your changes
You have now configured the CMS element.
The configuration of the "Call-to-Action slide" is quite self-explanatory. The image, the text and the button text are mandatory fields. That's all you really need to configure.
In the tab "General" you configure the content of the element.
ImageIn the section "Image" you define the background image (1) of the slide. This is a mandatory field.
ContentIn the section "Content" you can enter the teaser text (3), the headline (4), the text (5) and the button text (6) for the slide. The text and the button text are mandatory fields.
LinkIn the section "Link" you define the target of the teaser when it is clicked.
Note: The text area is HTML-capable. However, links <a> should not be used if the configuration "Entire element clickable" is used, as this interferes with the actual linking of the slide.
In the tab "Layout" you can configure the overlay (2), the text (3, 4, 5) in the overlay, the button (6) and a coloured overlay.
ContentIn the section "Content" you configure the text alignment and the text shadow.
TeaserIn the section "Teaser" you can configure the font and text colour for the teaser (3).
HeadlineIn the section "Headline" you can configure the font and text colour for the headline (4).
TextIn the section "Text" you can configure the font and text colour for the text (5).
ButtonIn the section "Button" you can configure the button style (the colour) and determine whether the button (6) should be filled or represented as an outline button.
Content overlayIn the section "Content overlay" you configure the overlay (2). Here you can configure the horizontal alignment and the vertical alignment of the overlay. You can also select a fade-in animation and set the width (e.g. 100%) and the maximum width (e.g. 50%) for the overlay.
With the configuration "Apply overlay styling" you can activate configuration fields for styling the overlay. Here you can set the background colour, select a box shadow and rounded corners.
Colour overlayIn the section "Colour overlay" a colour overlay can be activated and configured.
Note: Please note that the theme variables are not available in the administration. The button colour of the preview is replaced by the corresponding theme colour in the storefront.
In the tab "Responsive" you can optimise the representation for mobile viewports. Here you can configure breakpoints for the image display mode and the text overlay.
ImageIn the section "Image" you can configure the display mode of the image. With the breakpoint you can define when the display mode of the image should change (e.g. from 'cover' to 'contain'). In this way you can, for example, guarantee a minimum height in mobile viewports.
TextIn the section "Text" the breakpoint for the text can be configured. From this breakpoint on, the text overlays the image.
...
In the tab "SEO & Pagespeed" you can configure the HTML tag for the headline and the "Lazy loading" of the image.
You can select each HTML element of our slides using the appropriate CSS classes. If you want to use your own CSS classes, you can insert them in the "Advanced" tab.
The image of the Hero slides is usually displayed in display mode 'contain' (1). It scales, while maintaining the aspect ratio, to the full width of the slide.
Since ThemeWare® 2.1 you have the option of defining yourself whether the display mode should change to 'cover' (2) and if so, from which viewport. In the display mode 'cover' you must also configure the minimum height (3) of the slide. This determines the height of the slide and the image fills the slide while maintaining its aspect ratio. If necessary, the image is cropped (4) to fit.
The text in the Hero slides usually overlays the image. In smaller viewports, this may no longer fit perfectly, especially with long texts, so the text is displayed below the image on mobile devices.
Since ThemeWare® 2.1 you have the option to define yourself whether the text should be displayed on top of the image, and if so, from which viewport.
