Hi Kamil

Is it possible to make a setting, so that the description of the slide is shown under the headline.
Right now the description is only used in setup.

Hi Kamil,
I´ve installed slider with 3.9. Unfortunately the el.redrawSlider is not working f.e. when the drawer is showing up. So the slides are keeping their original size and a part of them is hidden. I am using boost and tryed to deactivate all css modifications. But that was not the problem.

Hi Kamil, I've succesfully added the block to the default dashboard for all users, but the slider images used in the default dashboard block do not appear for users - slides only show up on a per-user basis. (if I add to my dashboard I see images).

Is this expected?
Thanks,

help solve the problem. The theme is installed by TREMA. No way can I set the slider to the top of all courses and the entire contents of the main page. I 've already gone through all the settings . it doesn't work out. The square with the block is at the bottom by default. how to fix it?

Hello,
I've submitted pull request with a fix for when using the default dashboard.
It still requires the dashboard to be reset for all users after adding, editing or removing slides, but at least it is displayed for all users.
