Even more magic for Flarum 🔮

That's awesome! What's the optimal size for an image size to be for the banner?

Capybara Really impressive work on the extension! The features are well thought out, and everything feels smooth and polished. 💫

It’s kind of cool (and a bit flattering) to see my admin panel design living on in your extensions. I’ll gladly help with the translation once it’s ready!

✨ MagicSlider v3.0.0 released

🐛 Small but important fix — the «Hide on tag pages» toggle now actually works as intended. When enabled, the slider is hidden on single tag pages, showing the default Flarum tag hero instead.

huseyinfiliz I really appreciate it — I actually take a lot of inspiration from your extensions and design style

Capybara you developer faster than I can put socks on in the morning. 😛

I chose to register because of this plugin. It's really great

This plugin is highly suitable for commercialization

Of course, it’s your choice, but I think when I remove this CSS code:

.MagicSliderSettingsPage {
  padding: 20px;
  max-width: 1200px;
}

the admin panel looks better.

✨ MagicSlider v4.0.0 released

🎨 Cleaner admin layout and improved spacing

huseyinfiliz Thanks! Maybe I should apply the same approach to my other extensions too

huseyinfiliz

Capybara I think it looks better this way and matches better with the other extension settings.

Running composer update capybash/magicslider does not update to the latest version. Have to trigger it manually it looks like

Capybara

KBExit The latest versions are available on Packagist, so the update should’ve gone through. In any case, you can do this:

composer remove capybash/magicslider
composer require capybash/magicslider:"*"

Capybara that worked!

Capybara
