Wix slick carousel in Wix Studio (with thumbnails & images from CMS)

Question:
Looking to have a full width slideshow/slider that shows image one at a time, where the images are from a CMS database query AND the current image in the slider can be driven by selecting from a set of smaller image thumbnails (smaller versions of the same images). I want the thumbnail images to be overlayed on the bottom of the slider.

If the Wix ProGallery could overlay the thumbnails over the bottom of the slideshow, than that would work - but I do not know how to adjust the CSS to do this.

So thinking I could consider using slick - the last carousel you'll ever need in Wix.

Product:
Wix Studio Editor

What are you trying to achieve:
Here is an example of the type of slider witjh thumbnails

Anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Some similarity to your post?

Yes, similar but… :slight_smile:

  1. Would ideally like to use the Wix ProGallery but somehow modify where the thumbnail are located - maybe some velo magic?

  2. If I use the slick slider as a html plugin, a) not sure exactly how that works with the Wix Studio, b) not sure what performance concerns there would be (load time, extra libraries, etc). And not sure how to attach the images. Guess I’m looking for if others have done this and how it worked out.

Thanks for the reply!

You have a ready and working SLick-Slider-Version already?
If so → provide the code.

If you want to go the Wix-Gallery-Version, you will have to work with corresponding API…

The Wix ProGallery API looks great - but I don’t see / know how to change the location x/y (negative margin offset?) of the gallery thumbs. Not sure the API supports that? Could be super simple solution to my need - and then I could keep using the Wix ProGallery. Any ideas how to target that element and change the position/margin?

Thanks again for your reply!

I don’t see that the Pro-Gallary provides such a possibility, for example like a box do…

No CSS-Options, at least i can’t find any.

EDIT:

Maybe some older posts can give you new ideas… (all about GALLARIES)…

You will find surely more informations about GALLARIES when you search for it.
Collect all informations about GALLARIES (Wix-Pro-Gallary) and find out how to make a workaround, or if not possible —> go back to an HTML-Version (HTML-Component) and create your own one, connecting it to your Wix-Page.

I saw a post that “with 2 galleries both linked to the same database media gallery, one showing a bigger version of the image and one below it showing smaller images acting as thumbnails”.

I think I will try to test that approach - open to any advise in this regard (not using editorX).
