2. Copy the system folder into the root folder from Contao
3. Update the database (e.g. with the Extension manager)

How to use

Advanced: Change settings

expert fields > code You must enter VALID encoded json that PHP could decode, if it doesn't decode it's judged invalid and will not be loaded.

Known Issues / To Dos

Make edit page display files as images like gallery.

• might need to override FileTree.php and update line 106 which checks for record type == gallery
• https://github.com/leofeyer/autoloader

Update/improve the validation to check the code against the responsive slide options API.

• check the keys
• check the types of variables per key (optional)

Settings don't work with multiple sliders on the same page,

• use a counter or something and make them not share the settings.
• also make sure the load code get included from here and not some random place.
