| 10 | +Hi everyone. Here is the simple instruction how to use updated qBoSlider. |
| 11 | +As you can see we change slider configuration page. At now slider configuration page contains only **Switch on static cache** property, but don't panic, other slider configurations you can find at nopCommerce admin panel menu 😉. Just open admin side -> menu -> Plugins -> qBoSlider and you can configure all that you want. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Menu |
| 16 | +The plugin menu contains three points: |
| 17 | +* **[Widget zones](https://github.com/iAlexeyProkhorov/qBoSlider/wiki/Widget-zone)**. Here you can create new or update already existing sliders in your store. Each slider is linked to one special [widget zone](https://github.com/iAlexeyProkhorov/qBoSlider/wiki/Widget-zone). By default plugin has one [slider](https://github.com/iAlexeyProkhorov/qBoSlider/wiki/Widget-zone) on home page; |
| 18 | +* **[Slides](https://github.com/iAlexeyProkhorov/qBoSlider/wiki/Slide)**. Here you can create or update slides for your store. Each slide can be linked to any sliders any times. |
| 19 | +* **Configuration**. Here you can configure plugin. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +## Slide |
| 22 | +First of all we need to create some slides for our store, before publish them in [slider](https://github.com/iAlexeyProkhorov/qBoSlider/wiki/Widget-zone). We can do this by next way: |
| 23 | +* Open: Admin -> Admin menu -> Plugins -> qBoSlider -> Slides. |
| 24 | +* Push '_Add new slide_' button; |
| 25 | +* Upload background picture for your slide and save slide; |
| 26 | +* * You can also add slide HTML content in '_Description_' field. It's not required option; |
| 27 | +* Congratulations! You already create your first [slide](https://github.com/iAlexeyProkhorov/qBoSlider/wiki/Slide)!🎉😉 |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Previously we just create slide and after clearing cache we can see it on home page. In multi-widget zone slider we can select which widget zone will displays our slide. And we are we going to next step 😊. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## Widget zone |
| 32 | +As we know, the widget zone represents a [slider](https://github.com/iAlexeyProkhorov/qBoSlider/wiki/Widget-zone). Each [slider has some common properties and slide collection](https://github.com/iAlexeyProkhorov/qBoSlider/wiki/Widget-zone). So lets create a new slider for our store 😉. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +* Open: Admin -> Admin menu -> Plugins -> qBoSlider -> Widget zones; |
| 35 | +* Push '_Add widget zone_' button; |
| 36 | +* Write widget zone name. This property is using just for widget zone searching. That's why you we can write anything that will help us to find widget zone faster; |
| 37 | +* Write widget zone system name, for example '_home_page_bottom_'. We add autocomplete to help our users write standard nopCommerce widget zone names; |
| 38 | +* Put other widget zone properties and push button '_Save and continue edit_'; |
| 39 | +* Great! Now you're create a new slider for widget zone🎉👍; |
| 40 | +* Now add our new slides, which we add previously, to our widget zone slides collection; |
| 41 | +* Param-pam-pam-pam 🎉😁. Kudos! Now you've new [slider](https://github.com/iAlexeyProkhorov/qBoSlider/wiki/Widget-zone) with your own [slides](https://github.com/iAlexeyProkhorov/qBoSlider/wiki/Slide). Clear nopCommerce cache and go to page where widget zone locate (for example: '_home_page_bottom_' slider locates at bottom side of site home page); |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +## Few additional moments: |
| 44 | +* qBoSlider supports so much widget zones and slides as you can create; |
| 45 | +* One slide can be add to any widget zones. We can add slide to all store widget zones if it's really needed; |
| 46 | +* We can create two or more widget zones with same system names. nopCommerce will display slider for first created widget zone; |
