Dynamic Slider picks up the slides to be shown in the slider automatically you do not have to add rooms or hotels to show them.
This allows you to create sliders for best selling rooms or discounted rooms so that you do not have to add these rooms again and again. The system will automatically keep picking the best selling room and keep changing the slider accordingly.
So, it basically allows you to create 5 types of sliders.
New Room Slider: It will keep updating the new rooms in the slider that you create. You can decide the number of days a room will be considered new in the Preferences Tab –> Room Type
New Hotel Slider: It will keep updating the new rooms in the slider that you create. You enter the number of days a hotel will be considered new under the global configuration of this module. As shown above in the Slider Configuration Section.
Best Sales Room Slider: It will keep arranging the rooms in the slider as per their sales
Best Rated Hotel Slider: It will keep arranging the hotels in the slider as per their ratings
Discounted Room Slider: Whenever you give a room on the discount that room will be added in the slider

This type of slider will allow you to show sliders that are related to the page user is visiting.
So there three types of sliders in this type of Slider.
Room slider of the same hotel: On a room type page it will show slides of room types of the same hotel.
Room slider of the same city: On a room type page it will show slides of room types of the same city.
Hotel slider of the same city as room type: On the room type page it will show the hotel slider of the city from which the room type belongs.
This type of slider allows you to show images in the sliders.
You can also insert target URLs in the image so that when a user clicks on this image then he will be taken to this URL.
