nanoSLider in component

[wdburgdorf]

I wanted to do a similar thing and I was able to put it in a template by the following method-

Make an empty page with just the nanoslider shortcode and options in it. I called it 'sliderpage'
Untick the page option "include this page in menu"
Use the  getPageContent('sliderpage') to include in a template.

You may have to wrap it in a div to make sure it positions correctly and clears other elements.

I tried it this way, doesn't work. The slider comes up fine on the page, but in the sidebar where I use getPageContent, there is only an empty div.
