After & Before Slider

Hi there! I am trying to create an after and before image slider to showcase an before and after image of my photography works. Is there anyway that this is possible in Squarespace 7.1? If so, can anyone upload a tutorial on how to do so? Thank you very very much in advance. 🙂

You mean something like this?

Hi,

It is plugin. https://www.will-myers.com/products/p/before-/-after-image-slider

@tuanphanWould you know where exactly to copy/paste these blocks of code into SquareSpace to get this particular before/after slider to work? Seems like the code is here, I just don't know how to add it to my site.

Thanks tuanphan! I am having trouble with having more that one before/after slider on a page.

When I have two sliders on a page, the new slider block replaces the first slide block, so they both ending up being the same photos and slide in unison when published. (Hope that makes sense) 

Can I have more than one slider on a page? If so, how do I do this? Thank you!

Try this code on Code Block 2

<div class='container2'>
    <div class='img background-img'></div>
    <div class='img foreground-img'></div>
    <input type="range" min="1" max="100" value="50" class="slider" name='slider' id="slider2">
    <div class='slider-button'></div>
  </div>
<style>
  .container2 {
  position: relative;
  width: 900px;
  height: 600px;
  border: 2px solid white;
}
.container2 .img {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  background-size: 900px 100%;
}
.container2 .background-img {
  background-image: url("https://i.imgur.com/s08MkXC.jpg");
}
.container2 .foreground-img {
  background-image: url("https://i.imgur.com/PfIWek4.jpg");
  width: 50%;
}
.container2 .slider {
  position: absolute;
  -webkit-appearance: none;
  appearance: none;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  background: rgba(242, 242, 242, 0.3);
  outline: none;
  margin: 0;
  transition: all 0.2s;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}
.container2 .slider:hover {
  background: rgba(242, 242, 242, 0.1);

}
.container2 .slider::-moz-range-thumb {

  background: white;
  cursor: pointer;
}
.container2 .slider-button {

}
</style>
<script>
  $("#slider2").on("input change", (e)=>{
  const sliderPos2 = e.target.value;
  // Update the width of the foreground image
  $('.foreground-img').css('width', `${sliderPos2}%`)
  // Update the position of the slider button
  $('.slider-button').css('left', `calc(${sliderPos2}% - 18px)`)
});
</script>

Thanks for your help tuanphan

I just tried your code for the second slider block and the same thing keeps happening (sliders still move at the same time.) Super strange! 

Any other ideas on how to fix this? Thanks again!

Try change this line in second code

 $('.foreground-img').css('width', `${sliderPos2}%`)

to this

 $('#slider2 .foreground-img').css('width', `${sliderPos2}%`)
