    Hi, I own the pro version of SmartSlider 3.

    I want to create a collection of slides that will share a common text-based submenu at the top that will navigate among them. An example of this effect (not created with Smart Slider 3) is here:

    https://www.fahrenheit-212.com/company/growth-strategies

    Can you let me know if this is possible, and if so, the basic strategy for accomplishing a slider?

    Thanks!

    Hi @pagegenius!

    From your example page what you cannot do is, that dotted line for the navigation menu. Then you would need the Pro version to achieve a similar design for the navigation. You could use thumbnails:
    https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1857-thumbnails
    to have just a text on top of the slider, which would switch between slides. These would show the “Slide title”:
    https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1724-slide#content
    and to have the same text on the slides, you would need to put down a Heading or Text layer into your slides:
    https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1814-heading-layer
    and write this inside its text:
    {name/slide}
    or you could also just simply write the same text here, what you are using at the title.

    Hi Gabor,

    I’m confused about your last option with {name/slide}. When I type those into a text box as its content, I simply get those literal characters. Could you clarify?

    Right now, I’m making this sub-menu with this code:

    <div class="sub-menu" style="text-align:center;">
         <span class="switch1” style="font-family: 'Noto Serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700; cursor: pointer;">Exploit emergent technologies</span> &nbsp;  &nbsp; | &nbsp;  &nbsp;<span class="switch2” style="font-family: 'Noto Serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; cursor: pointer;">Validate growth opportunities</span> &nbsp;  &nbsp; | &nbsp;  &nbsp;<span class="switch3” style="font-family: 'Noto Serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; cursor: pointer;">Define growth strategies</span> &nbsp;  &nbsp; | &nbsp;  &nbsp;<span class="switch4” style="font-family: 'Noto Serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; cursor: pointer;">Create products, services & business models</span> &nbsp;  &nbsp; | &nbsp;  &nbsp;<span class="switch5” style="font-family: 'Noto Serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; cursor: pointer;">Develop go-to-market ecosystems</span> &nbsp;  &nbsp; | &nbsp;  &nbsp;<span class="switch6” style="font-family: 'Noto Serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; cursor: pointer;">Develop new growth ventures</span>
    
    </div>
    
    <script>
    N2R('#n2-ss-27', function($, slider){
        jQuery('.switch1’).click(function(){
            slider.slide(0);
    window.scrollTo(0, 0);
        });
    });
    
    N2R('#n2-ss-27', function($, slider){
        jQuery('.switch2’).click(function(){
            slider.slide(1);
    window.scrollTo(0, 0);
        });
    });
    
    N2R('#n2-ss-27', function($, slider){
        jQuery('.switch3’).click(function(){
            slider.slide(2);
    window.scrollTo(0, 0);
        });
    });
    
    N2R('#n2-ss-27', function($, slider){
        jQuery('.switch4’).click(function(){
            slider.slide(3);
    window.scrollTo(0, 0);
        });
    });
    
    N2R('#n2-ss-27', function($, slider){
        jQuery('.switch5’).click(function(){
            slider.slide(4);
    window.scrollTo(0, 0);
        });
    });
    
    N2R('#n2-ss-27', function($, slider){
        jQuery('.switch6’).click(function(){
            slider.slide(5);
    window.scrollTo(0, 0);
        });
    });
    
    </script>

    I’m having a couple of problems with this.
    1) The HTML element keeps disappearing from my slider
    2) Because I want the chose elements to appear as bold when selected, I have to create this menu on every slide, rather than using a static slide for it. Any workarounds auto-bold a heading when it’s the selected one?

    Hi @pagegenius

    I tried {name/slide} and it worked fine for me:
