You will need the following shortcodes to successfully add a Slider to your website. Depending on your needs, you might need to use extra shortcodes.

repeater - prints the fields from the Slider module form.

[repeater id="" limit="0, 4" display_type="news" order="start_time desc"]

Note:

You need to add the ID number of your slider module to the repeater shortcode within the id="" attribute.

get_asset_file_url - returns the URL path to the specified asset file in the database.

<img alt="Image alt" class="img-fluid" src="[get_asset_file_url id={{slider_image}}]" />
