"ARI Smart Content - Easy Slider" module shows content sliders in module positions. The module can be enabled/disabled and configured on "Extensions → Module Manager" page on Joomla! backend. The module offers the following parameters:

• Data source is a main and required parameter. It is used to select the data source which will be used to create slider items. See also Template parameter. If a data source is not selected, the module will show nothing. It is possible to select data sources from Text data section.

• Use constant ID if the parameter is set to 'Yes', slider container will have the constant ID based on module ID. It can be useful for caching or other purposes.

• Load method is used to specify load method on client side. If it is set to 'On Load', a slider will be created when page and all resources (images, styles and etc.) are loaded by a browser. If it is set to 'DOM Ready', the slider will be created immediately when page is loaded (it doesn't wait till all resources are loaded, they will be loaded in parallel). In other words, 'DOM Ready' event occurs before 'On Load' and if possible it is preferable to use it instead of 'On Load'.  This parameter can be useful to resolve conflict with some 3rd party extensions, if the extension doesn't work properly when it's set to 'DOM Ready', try to switch it to 'On Load'.
