Use your own .ss template for the slider

• Example: Copy vendor/alexstack/silverstripe-custom-carousel-slider/templates/SSCustomCarouselSlider/BootstrapSlider001.ss to your-theme/Includes/my-bootstrap-slider.ss , change the slider codes inside to what you want. Just keep the variable name the same.

Where to display the slider?

• You can choose to display the slider before or after the main content. It will append the slider to the $Content variable
• You can also manually insert a variable $showCustomerSlider to any page template. eg. Page.ss, ProductPage.ss, ContactUsPage.ss
• Example below: we want the slider show under the Header.ss but above the $Title of the Layout/Page.ss

Example of display before content (at the top of main content)
