Displaying page templates in a content slider webpart

I am trying to display page templates (igrouped in a folder) in a content slider webpart on another page. I am able to display the links to the page but no luck figuring out how to automatically load them as the content slider cycles through all pages.

I set the attributes of the content slider as follows:

Content Filter
Document Type: CMS.MenuItem

Transformations
Transformation: CMS.MenuItem.ImageGalleryList

Also tried:

Transformation: CMS.MenuItem.Default

I am not not sure if there is a doc type and transformation that would do the job or I need to update an existing one. Any help would be appreciated.

RE:Displaying page templates in a content slider webpart

Hi,

Could you please clarify whether you want to display documents of certain type or anything else? What exactly do you mean by "displaying page templates"?

You can display the content of the documents using proper transformation.
If you wanted to display page miniatures (thumbnails) in the slider, you would probably need to add for example an image field to the document type (there probably the CMS.MenuItem) to store the thumbnails within documents and display them in the transformation used in the content slider.

Any further details would be helpful.

Regards,
Zdenek
