Hi Noel,
just a short hint because I had the same issues firstly. It’s important to go through the https://www.onedesigns.com/tutorials/enlightenment-documentation-theme-demo-home-page literally step by step, especially the parts “Creating Dynamic Sidebars”, “Assigning Dynamic Sidebars to Sidebar Locations” and “Generating the Full Screen Slider”.
Maybe it helps you to start from the beginnign completely. Good luck!
