Simple Sliders is a content plugin for Joomla that creates accordion sliders in an article.
You create sliders by including plugin calls like this in your articles:
{slider title="Slider 1 Title" class="blue"}
Slider 1 content.
{slider title="Slider 2 Title" class="red"}
Slider 2 content.
{/sliders}
Slider 1 Title
Sliders are a very useful way to organise page content.
Slider 2 Title
Simple Sliders is a tiny plugin that is very easy to use.
We use Simple Sliders on our Contact page, FAQ pages, and elsewhere. We previously used the "Sliders" plugin from Regular Labs but eventually decided to write our own. The calling syntax, visual styling and functionality are broadly compatible with Regular Labs, but Simple Sliders is very "light" by comparison.
