Configuration

⚠️ Important: The Article Block Slider is disabled by default. You must explicitly enable it for each article where you want to use it by setting _isEnabled: true in the article's configuration.

Settings Overview

Configure the Article Block Slider at the article level. In the Adapt Authoring Tool, you'll find an expandable "Article Block Slider" section when editing any article.

_isEnabled Boolean false Enable/disable the slider for this article. Must be set to true to activate the slider.
_isDisabledWhenAccessibilityActive Boolean false Disable slider when accessibility mode is active

Animation Settings

Setting Type Default Description
_slideAnimationDuration Number 600 Slide transition duration in milliseconds
_heightAnimationDuration Number 300 Height animation duration in milliseconds

Display Settings

Setting Type Default Description
_isEnabledOnScreenSizes String "large medium" Screen sizes where slider is active
_startIndex Number 0 Initial block to display (zero-indexed)
_hasUniformHeight Boolean true Use consistent height for all blocks
_minHeight Number null Minimum container height in pixels

Navigation Settings

Setting Type Default Description
_hasArrows Boolean true Enable arrow button navigation
_hasTabs Boolean false Enable tab navigation (mutually exclusive with arrows)

Touch Settings

Touch & Swipe Support

The Article Block Slider provides comprehensive touch and swipe support for mobile and tablet devices:

Features

  • Intuitive Gestures: Swipe left/right to navigate between blocks
  • Smart Detection: Automatically distinguishes horizontal swipes (navigation) from vertical swipes (scrolling)
  • RTL Support: Swipe directions automatically reverse for right-to-left languages
  • Configurable: Adjust sensitivity to match your content and user preferences
  • Screen Size Aware: Respects _isEnabledOnScreenSizes setting
  • Hybrid Navigation: Works alongside arrow/tab navigation

Gesture Behavior

Gesture Action RTL Behavior
Swipe Left Next block Previous block in RTL
Swipe Right Previous block Next block in RTL
Swipe Up/Down Page scroll Same in RTL
Tap/Click Button navigation Same in RTL

Configuration

{
  "_enableTouchSwipe": true,      // Enable touch support
  "_swipeSensitivity": 50          // Minimum distance in pixels
}

Recommended Settings:

  • High Sensitivity (25-40px): Fast, responsive swiping
  • Medium Sensitivity (50-75px): Balanced, default setting
  • Low Sensitivity (80-100px): Deliberate, prevent accidental swipes

Custom Styling Example

Create a custom LESS/CSS file:

// Custom Article Block Slider styles
.abs {
  
  // Custom container styling
  &__container {
    background: #f5f5f5;
    border-radius: 8px;
    box-shadow: 0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
  }
  
  // Custom arrow buttons
  &__btn-arrow {
    background: #007bff;
    color: white;
    border-radius: 50%;
    width: 48px;
    height: 48px;
    
    &:hover {
      background: #0056b3;
      transform: scale(1.1);
    }
    
    &.is-disabled {
      background: #ccc;
      cursor: not-allowed;
    }
  }
  
  // Custom tab styling
  &__btn-tab {
    background: transparent;
    border-bottom: 3px solid transparent;
    transition: all 0.3s ease;
    
    &.is-selected {
      border-bottom-color: #007bff;
      font-weight: bold;
    }
    
    &:hover {
      background: rgba(0,123,255,0.1);
    }
  }
}

// RTL-specific overrides
.dir-rtl .abs {
  &__btn-arrow {
    &.is-left { /* Custom RTL left arrow */ }
    &.is-right { /* Custom RTL right arrow */ }
  }
}

// Article Block Slider Variables

// Spacing
@abs-container-padding: 20px;
@abs-toolbar-margin: 15px;
@abs-button-spacing: 10px;

// Colors
@abs-button-bg: @primary-color;
@abs-button-hover-bg: darken(@primary-color, 10%);
@abs-button-disabled-bg: @disabled-color;
@abs-tab-selected-color: @primary-color;

@abs-container-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);

Theme Integration

The plugin automatically inherits from your Adapt theme:

  • Colors from _colors variables
  • Typography from _typography variables
  • Spacing from _layout variables
  • Animations from _transitions variables

Performance

Optimization Strategies

Image Loading

  • Lazy Loading: Images load only when slide is visible
  • Promise-based: Modern async image handling
  • No jQuery: Uses native browser APIs for better performance

Animation Performance

  • CSS Transitions: Hardware-accelerated animations
  • Transform-based: Uses GPU for smooth 60fps animations
  • Debounced Events: Resize/scroll handlers optimized
  • RequestAnimationFrame: Smooth animation timing

Memory Management

  • Event Cleanup: Proper event listener removal
  • No Memory Leaks: Clean component lifecycle
  • Efficient DOM: Minimal DOM manipulation
  • Cached Selectors: jQuery selectors cached for reuse

Performance Metrics

Typical performance on modern devices:

Metric Desktop Tablet Mobile
Initial Load < 100ms < 150ms < 200ms
Slide Transition 60 FPS 60 FPS 60 FPS
Touch Response < 16ms < 16ms < 16ms
Memory Usage ~ 2MB ~ 2MB ~ 2MB

Best Practices

  1. Optimize Images: Use appropriately sized images for each breakpoint
  2. Limit Blocks: Recommended maximum 10 blocks per article
  3. Minimize Content: Keep slide content lightweight
  4. Test Performance: Use browser DevTools to monitor performance
  5. Consider Animations: Disable animations on older devices if needed

Limitations

Known Limitations

  1. Navigation Exclusivity

    • Only one navigation type (arrows OR tabs) can be active at a time
    • Using both simultaneously will cause UI conflicts

  2. Quicknav Compatibility

    • Potential conflicts with Quicknav extension when slider is the last article
    • Workaround: Add a standard article after slider articles

  3. Screen Size Requirements

    • Slider automatically disables on screen sizes not in _isEnabledOnScreenSizes
    • Minimum recommended width: 320px

  4. Block Content

    • Very tall blocks may require _hasUniformHeight: false
    • Mixed content heights work best with height animations enabled

  5. Accessibility Mode

    • Slider disabled when accessibility is active (if configured)
    • Falls back to standard vertical layout

Compatibility

✅ Compatible With:

  • All Adapt Framework v5.53.5+ extensions
  • All standard Adapt components
  • All Adapt themes
  • SCORM 1.2 and 2004
  • xAPI (Tin Can API)

⚠️ Potential Conflicts:

  • Quicknav (when slider is last article)
  • Custom scroll-hijacking scripts

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Slider Not Appearing

Problem: Slider doesn't show, blocks are vertical

Solutions:

  1. Check _isEnabled: true in article configuration
  2. Verify screen size in _isEnabledOnScreenSizes
  3. Check browser console for errors
  4. Ensure Adapt Framework v5.53.5+

Touch/Swipe Not Working

Problem: Swipe gestures don't navigate slides

Solutions:

  1. Verify _enableTouchSwipe: true
  2. Check _swipeSensitivity value (try 30-50)
  3. Ensure touch device is detected
  4. Check browser touch event support

Navigation Buttons Missing

Problem: Arrows or tabs not visible

Solutions:

  1. Check _hasArrows or _hasTabs is true
  2. Verify only ONE navigation type is enabled
  3. Check CSS is loading correctly
  4. Inspect HTML for .abs__toolbar

Animation Issues

Problem: Transitions are jerky or broken

Solutions:

  1. Check browser supports CSS transitions
  2. Reduce _slideAnimationDuration value
  3. Disable _hasUniformHeight for better performance
  4. Check for CSS conflicts

Accessibility Problems

Problem: Screen reader or keyboard issues

Solutions:

  1. Ensure ARIA labels in globals
  2. Check focus order with Tab key
  3. Test with _isDisabledWhenAccessibilityActive: true
  4. Verify browser accessibility features enabled

Debug Mode

Enable debug mode in config.json:

{
  "_debug": true,
  "_logging": {
    "_isEnabled": true,
    "_level": "debug"
  }
}
