Hero Slider and the Content Menu
Standard member
Does it make sense to have the "Hero Slider" in the Content Menu when and if you have the hero slider active and its on the home page. Yes I agree its content of the page but pretty much its only good if you want to "copy the pictures and re-read the wording applied. My thought is remove it from contents and place it in the gallery for pictures as I see it, its an un-needed menu item outside of the pictures.
What do you people think?

However what you can do is set the gallery to only be visible to admins. While the hero slider will still work (because it bypasses permissions), the gallery will no longer show up on the menu and cannot be accessed otherwise (except by admins).
I could make this the default for the default hero slider gallery that comes with v11.
I had to do this for a client site recently.
Check out Earth & Sky as an example. Both the home page and the about page have a hero slider (and are two separate galleries). But if you notice, they don't show up if you click the galleries menu item to go to the gallery index. If I were using automatic menus, they wouldn't show there either. I've set those two galleries' view permissions off for everyone except admins. So they still show on the sliders but not the galleries.
